Proposed ICT Based ERP Model For Milk Cooperatives
Abstract
We have conducted academic research on ERP modules use in milk
cooperatives. Our study was oriented around milk cooperatives and
cattle farmers. Objective of study was to understand how ICT base
ERP system can improve coordination between coordination between
milk cooperative and cattle farmers and to propose ICT based ERP
model. We have conducted our research in four different district of
Gujarat. We have collected primary data from cattle farmer as well as
milk cooperatives. In this research paper we will discuss research details
and also discuss proposed ERP model

Since the last decade, several technologies have been abruptly influencing our lives. Among the notable major changes in the human society is the way humans interact with each other, which now involves the social media heavily where this is previously unknown to the masses. This type of technology is called Disruptive Innovation, a type of technology which has the potential to alter how human lives, market trends as well as other aspects including transportation and communications. Studies show that in the next few years, there are plenty of technology with the disruptive features. The new technologies, part of the domino effect of previous emerging technologies, include autonomous vehicle, the blockchain as well as Internet-of-Things. Despite the rapid advent, little discussion has been done to discuss and summarizes the emerging technologies in a single work in Malaysia. This brief survey is written as an effort to initiate the discussion, particularly in Malaysia about the disruptive innovation. It gives an introductory idea to the general audience, as well as academician and practitioners about the examples of the innovation, as well as brief discussion about the future studies which need to be commended in relation to the current development. This work is hoped to speed up the implementation of the emerging technologies in Malaysia as well helping and guiding policymakers, practitioners as well as academicians in understanding the phenomenon.
A study was conducted to find out the level of access and usage of ICTs among farmers of Meghalaya state of India. A total of 120 farmers were randomly selected for the study during November 2013 to May 2014. The results showed that majority of the farmers owned mobile phones as well as television and radio. The most frequently used ICT was mobile phone. Mobile phones were widely used by the farmers for social communication, contacting middle men for the marketing of produce and contacting experts on real time basis for getting agricultural advisories. Farmers also reported that mobile phones proved to be useful during health emergencies. Information services on availability of inputs, quality of inputs, and pest and disease management of crops were also used by the farmers through ICTs. Major problems in the use of ICTs by the farmers were lack of confidence in operating ICTs, erratic power supply, low network connectivity and lack of awareness of the benefits of ICTs.
For the Indian Dairy Industry, efforts need to be directed to accelerating the pace of application and adoption of modern technologies to improving productivity, and to reducing costs of operations and ensure greater availability of milk and milk products. To attain this, national development programs need to be dove tailed with state Governments programmes on animal husbandry and dairying, poverty alleviation programmes, R&D strategies, Agricultural Universities and other developmental agencies. Infrastructure needs to be strengthened for the improvement of milch breeds of cattle and buffaloes in context with the 14 agro-climatic zones of the country. Intensive financial and scientific inputs are needed to mechanise the processes for the manufacture of indigenous milk products. Scope is also indicated for the development of a new range of dairy products to meet the needs of the urban consumer for health, safety, convenience and shelf-life.
The use of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in rural areas of Gujarat by GCMMFL has made the operation of the dairy industry different. While it has always been argued that investments related to ICT made in rural India are not effective, the case of Amul proves that, where there is a will there is a way. Amul has become rural India's flag bearer in the IT revolution. This paper analyses the use of ICT in the dairy industry by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. The system makes it easy for the farmers to get the cash payment as soon as the milk is delivered. The Amul experience indicates that if properly designed and implemented, the rural poor can benefit from ICT platforms. Customization of IT platforms for use in rural communities is emerging as a major opportunity for change.
