MANAGEMENT PROCESS
![Page 19: Dabbawala (1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c60daa4a795976288b45c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PLANNING
• 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.
![Page 20: Dabbawala (1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c60daa4a795976288b45c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• What should be the means of transport
• They also have to plan about their coding strategy so that they differentiate between the dabbas.
![Page 21: Dabbawala (1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c60daa4a795976288b45c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CO-ORDINATION
• 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
• 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
![Page 22: Dabbawala (1)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061223/54c60daa4a795976288b45c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
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 neighboring villages
• There’s no retirement age and people work as long as they want.

• Carry identity cards.
