  9. MANAGEMENTPROCESS DABBAWALA

  10. PLANNING • Planning is a very important aspect. • The dabbawallas mainly plan about.. • From where, when and how many dabbas have to be picked from a particular area. • Who has to go where and at which station the dabbas have to be assembled. • By whom the boxes have to be collected and returned back. • What should be the timing for the entire process. • What should be the means of transport. • Delivery reliability, workforce and dress code. • They also have to plan about their coding strategy so that they differentiate between the dabbas. DABBAWALA

  12. ORGANISING The dabbawallas have to organise for various things so that their planning doesn’t fail. They have to organise for.. • Means of transport i.e. cycles and railway passes • Wooden crates • Tiffins (dabbas) • Dress code DABBAWALA

  13. ORGANISATIONALSTRUCTURE DABBAWALA

  14. STAFFING • There’s no criteria as such for staffing the members. Generation after generation people involve themselves in this business. The dabbawallas generally hail from neighbouring villages • There’s no retirement age and people work as long as they want. DABBAWALA

  15. LEADERSHIP AND MOTIVATION • The dabbawallas have their community called NMTBSA which has the President, Vice-President and the Secretary. They act as leaders and lead the dabbawallas on a whole. • 15-20 dabbawallas work in co-operative units which is leaded and supervised by Mukadams, the group leaders DABBAWALA

  16. CO-ORDINATION • Co-ordination is the most important aspect in the working of the dabbawallas. • Daily one set of dabbawallas collects the Tiffins from the homes, another set unloads at the station and the third set sorts it out and deliver it • Thus in a single day the dabbas change hands four to five times. • Each group teams up with the other for deliveries. The dabbas reach at the right place because of the remarkable co-ordination between these people. DABBAWALA

  17. CONTROL The dabbawallas put control on themselves by following the discipline which is: • No alcohol drinking during business hours • Wearing white cap during business hours • Carry identity cards DABBAWALA

  22. ‘ENGLAND KA RAJA’ MEETS THE CITY’S DABBA KINGS • For the first time ever Prince Charles honoured the dabbawalas in his visit on the 4th of Nov,2003. • Taking keen interest in their way of functioning, he was surprised to know the fact that they didn’t employ any modern technology. DABBAWALA
