Milk procurement route optimisation using GIS in a farmers' dairy organisation
Present case study
• A typical milk union in Maharashtra
•138 pick up points
•Milk collected in two shifts
•Routing is manually planned
•Farthest point first

Vehicle types and their carrying capacity
•Tata 407 = 44 cans
•Mahindra max = 40 cans
•Minidor = 20 cans
•Rickshaw = 8 cans
* each can of 40 lit capacity.

Milk procurement transportation from villages
•All vehicles - Start from Dairy plant
- Come back to Dairy plant
• Dairy co-operative Society – Source points
• Dairy Plant – Sink point
•Volumes change : Summer and Winter
•Medium sized union – 800 source points, 4-6 Chilling
