Title: Literature Review on Application of Quantitative Methods in Design
and Analysis of “Dairy Supply Chain”
Supply chain management refers to the flow of goods and services of a product from
suppliers to end users. It is an integration of key business process which provides information
that adds value of business for customers and stakeholders (Prakash and et. al., 2017). In context
with agriculture industry, SCM helps in developing the area for meeting demand of global
market. The present assignment is going to conduct a literature review on dairy supply
management, by exploring some articles from secondary resources. All important aspects of SC
design including authorities, flow of products or services, risks decisions and more are well
explained in this part of literature review (Ivanov and et. al., 2016).
Supply Chain Design
Dairy supply chain encompasses with corporations which are responsible mainly for
production and distribution of dairy based products. This process among other agriculture base
businesses refers to most complex that starts with raw milk production, but ends when
customers, processors and others utilize the same (Tostivint and et. al., 2017). The Australian
Dairy Industry is considered as the third biggest industry after wheat and beef production. It adds
a total value that earns over A$13.7 billion which is considered as the biggest value adding
industries in today's agriculture business (Investment and The Australian Dairy Industry, 2019).
Design and Structure of dairy supply chain of Australia follows the given procedure, that
consists more than on primary product suppliers. These suppliers make interaction with
distributors to add value to dairy products which is eventually presented to end customers
(Behzadi and et. al., 2017).
