Introduction

 Yakult DANONE India Pvt. Ltd. Commenced production in Delhi NCR in

2007. An investment of 200 Crore INR was made. The brand belongs to
Yakult DANONE India, the 50:50 joint ventures between Japan's Yakult
Honsha and France's Group DANONE.

 The plant in Sonipat (Haryana) has a factory area of 8 acres which can
provide a production capacity of 10 Lakhs units of Yakult PROBIOTIC
Dairy Based Drink, which is fermented milk based drink.
 Yakult is a probiotic dairy product made by fermenting a mixture of
skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus
casei Shirota.

 It was created by Japanese scientist Minoru Shirota. In 1935, he

started manufacturing and selling Yakult.

 After its introduction in Japan and Taiwan, Yakult was first sold in
Brazil in 1966, due to the large number of Japanese immigrants in
the country, before it was marketed elsewhere.

 Today, Yakult is sold in 31 countries, although it’s bacteria cultures

are provided from a mother strain from Japan regardless of
production location.
Objectives
 To study about Sonipat Yakult plant.
 To know about Proboitics drink.
 To understand supply chain process in
Yakult.
Supply chain
 A supply chain is the network of all the individuals,
organizations, resources, activities and technology
involved in the creation and sale of a product, from the
delivery of source materials from the supplier to the
manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end
user.

 The supply chain segment involved with getting the

finished product from the manufacturer to the consumer is
known as the distribution channel.
Importance
 Decreases Purchasing Cost – Retailers depend on supply chains to
quickly deliver expensive products to avoid holding costly
inventories in stores any longer than necessary.

 SCM Helps Sustains Human Life – Humans depend on supply

chains to deliver basic necessities such as food and water. Any
breakdown of these delivery pipelines quickly threatens human life.

 Increases Profit Leverage – Firms value supply chain managers

because they help control and reduce supply chain costs. This can
result in dramatic increases in firm profits..
Supply chain in Yakult
 It starts from the suppliers and ends to satisfying customer. Yakult
has an internal capacity of 10 million. Plant size has land capacity of
10 million. Only 4 million bottles can be produced by the size of the
employees.
 Demand planning: From the plant warehouse perspective, there are 3 types of
customers demanding product on a daily basis: major supermarket chains,
distributors and all the warehouses.

 Forecasting :A time series forecasting model was developed to forecast weekly

sales by product family and warehouse. Smoothed historical splits are then
applied, first to split the weekly family forecast by product, then to allocate it by
day of the week.

 Dynamic Inventory Targets :Because of the seasonality pattern of daily sales

within the week, YAKULT felt it necessary to dynamically adjust inventory
targets by product and warehouse on a daily basis.

 Transportation Optimization at Yakult: Once Yakult have determined the

daily requirements and volumes to be assigned by warehouse location and
product, we need to translate them into a cost-effective delivery schedule. That
is the task of the transportation optimization module.
Conclusion
 The single bottles are packed into a crate of 100 bottles of the
same flavor. As for the 5-bottle pack Yakult, it will either be
wrapped into single flavor or mixed flavors.

 Serving size of I bottle 2.7 oz (80ml), serving per package 5.

 They are using biomass shrink labels for PET containers from
fiscal 2014. The finished Yakult will be sorted in single bottles
or in a pack of 5 bottles that is shrink-wrapped in
polypropylene.
