Understanding Product Mix:
Sales Volume and Revenue: One of the fundamental aspects of product mix
analysis is evaluating the sales volume and revenue generated by each product in
the portfolio. This involves quantifying the units sold and the corresponding
revenue generated over a specific period. By comparing sales performance across
different products, companies can identify top performers, underperformers, and
opportunities for growth.
Market Share: Assessing the market share of each product within its respective
market segment provides valuable insights into its competitive position.
Companies can determine whether a product dominates its market or faces stiff
competition from rivals. Understanding market share dynamics helps companies
devise strategies to defend existing market positions or gain market share from
competitors.
Product Lifecycle Stage: Assessing the lifecycle stage of each product provides
insights into its growth potential, maturity, or decline. Products in different
lifecycle stages require different strategies and resource allocations. For example,
companies may invest more resources in promoting new products to capture
market share or focus on optimizing profitability for mature products.
4
Methodologies for Product Mix Analysis:
ABC Analysis: ABC analysis categorizes products into three groups based on
their contribution to revenue or profitability. "A" products are high-value and
high-priority items, "B" products are moderate in value and priority, and "C"
products are low-value and low-priority items. This classification helps
companies allocate resources effectively and focus on products that drive the
most value.
Pareto Analysis: Pareto analysis, also known as the 80/20 rule, suggests that
roughly 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. Applied to product mix
analysis, this means that a significant portion of revenue or profitability comes
from a small subset of products. By identifying and focusing on these key
products, companies can maximize returns and optimize resource allocation.
5
As analyzing a product mix is essential for optimizing business performance,
enhancing competitiveness, and meeting customer needs. By evaluating sales
volume, revenue, market share, profitability, customer preferences, lifecycle
stage, and cost structure, companies can make informed decisions about product
development, marketing strategies, and resource allocation. Employing
methodologies such as ABC analysis, Pareto analysis, conjoint analysis, and
SWOT analysis enables companies to gain deeper insights into their product mix
and drive sustainable growth in today's dynamic marketplace.

BASIC INFORMATION

BRIEF HISTORY OF AMUL
AMUL (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946, is a dairy cooperative
movement in India. It is a brand name managed by an apex cooperative
organization, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Lt. (GCMMF),
which today is jointly owned by some 2.6 million milk producers in Gujarat,
India.
AMUL is based in Anand, Gujarat and has been a sterling example of a co
operative organization's success in the long term. It is one of the best examples
of co-operative achievement in the developing world.
"Anyone who has seen ... the dairy cooperatives in the state of Gujarat,
especially
the highly successful one known as AMUL, will naturally wonder what
combination of influences and incentives is needed to multiply such a model a
thousand times over in developing regions everywhere.”
The Amul Pattern has established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for
rural
development. Amul has spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made
India the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world. It is also the
world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand. Amul is the largest food brand in India
and world's Largest Pouched Milk Brand
with an annual turnover of US $1050 million (2006-07). Currently Amul has 2.6
million producer members with milk collection average of 10.16 million litres
per
day. Besides India, Amul has entered overseas markets such as Mauritius, UAE,
USA, Bangladesh, Australia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and a few South
African countries. Its bid to enter Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded,
but
now it has fresh plans of flooding the Japanese markets. Other potential markets
12
being considered include Sri Lanka.
Dr Verghese Kurien, former chairman of the GCMMF, is recognized as the man
behind the success of Amul. On 10 Aug 2006 Parthi Bhatol, chairman of the
Banaskantha Union, was elected chairman of GCMMF.
The revolution started as awareness among the farmers that grew and matured
into a protest movement and the determination to liberate them. Over four
decades ago, the life of a farmer in Kaira District was very much like that of his
counterpart anywhere else in India. His income was derived almost entirely
from
seasonal crops. The income from milch buffaloes was undependable. The
marketing and distribution system for the milk was controlled by private traders
and middlemen. As milk is perishable, farmers were compelled to sell it for
whatever they were offered. Often, they had to sell cream and ghee at
throwaway
prices. In this situation, the one who gained was the private trader. Gradually,
the realization dawned on the farmers that the exploitation by the trader could
be checked only if marketed their milk themselves. In order to do that they
needed to form some sort of an organization. This realization is what led to the
establishment of the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited
(popularly known as Amul) which was formally registered on December 14,
1946. The Kaira Union began pasteurizing milk for the Bombay Milk Scheme
in June 1948. An assured market proved a great incentive to the milk producers
of the district. By the end of 1948, more than 400 farmers joined in more
village societies, and the quantity of milk handled by one Union increased from
250 to 5,000 litres a day.

AMUL’S SECRET OF SUCCESS:
14
village societies has been trained to undertake the veterinary first-aid and
the artificial insemination activities on their own.
