Task 2.1: Stakeholders and Drivers
The given case study is about the ArchiFarm industry that operates dairy farming in
the environment of Australia. These is among the arrest diary producers with three production
site. Each site includes an office building, the shed where the animals are being housed, fed
and milked and various storage sections and facilities who look after the farm. With the
growing price pressure by the distributors and the retailers the industry is facing major
problems. These is resulting into less production cost with improvement in the efficiency.
The aim is to improve the production, so that profits can be marked significantly. The main
stakeholders of these industry are the:
Site manager: Site manager is responsible for controlling the operations taking place within
the site.

Contractors: Contractors are being assigned by the farm to maintain the working.
Employees and farm workers: The main staff that helps in successful working of the site. The
results that are being analyzed with the help of custom built report software tool are used to
assess the health of the animals within the firms by the veterinarians.
Distributors: number of distributors that are associated with this farms and are responsible
for collecting the milk from the farm and transports these to the wholesalers. These schedule
of working is being pre-defined within the contracts maintained by the ArchiFarm and they
are liable to pay compensation in case of the milk fails to pass the quality test.
Local animal feed producers: ArchiFarm has signed agreements with several local animal
feed producers, so that they can provide animal feed to each production site.
Health of each animal is being assessed with the help of manual inspection and
problems are being discovered only when the animal is being detected with a major weight
loss or being analysed with less productivity. The health records of each animal is being
maintained, so that the staffs of the farm can easily identify the health issue. Thee health
record is in a form of informal document that is stored in each production site, in case of any
problem is being detected drugs are being added with the feed. These helps in recovering the
health of the cow. This is basically done with the help of control screen attached with the
feeding station at every production site. The main drivers of the system are Operations,
Maintenance, Analysis, Schedule and Signing. The processes in the system would be aimed
towards the mitigation and implementation of these concepts within the system. In addition to
this, system would be performing the assessments for the single aim of livestock
management.

Task 2.2: Business Functions
The business function of the ArchiFarm industry that is related to the livestock
management is having different processes, this includes:
 Organizing the livestock management
 Setting up the production of the livestock
 Execution and the operative livestock planning
The ArchiFarm industry has invested a huge amount on automating the technology at the
main production site. These includes automatic feeding station that helps in setting the
feeding quality of each animal and also have robotic milking stations that helps in tracking
the yield of each animal and can control the timing of milking by each cow. These feeding
system is being operated in the main site only and in the smaller sites the feeding is being
done by the farm workers with the help of tractors. There is an information system
maintained that helps in controlling the milk stations and will analyze the feeding quantity set
by the staffs with the use of reporting software tool. This is also used to assess the health of
the animals within the farm as the health issues are becoming one of the biggest concern. The
farm has distributors that are responsible for delivering the milk to the wholesaler within the
given time. In case the far fails to pass the quality test for their produced milk is liable to
compensation. In order to maintain the quality produced by the cows, the milk produced by
the infected cows are kept separated from the product produced by the healthy cows. These
helps in reducing the contamination. Hence, the process of the administration, production,
