A collaboration in support of the local dairy business sector sponsored by Tetra Pak Pakistan was initiated at the Rausing Executive Development Centre (REDC), LUMS in 2017. In relation to this learning partnership, second offering of the Dairy Management Programme took place at REDC from September 28-30, 2018. The Dairy Management Programme, sponsored by Tetra Pak Pakistan as a CSR initiative aims to bring dairy entrepreneurs and managers on a learning platform thereby contributing to the overall well-being of this sector.
The programme aims at building managerial competencies leading to operational efficiency, productivity enhancement, adoption of best practices, quality benchmarking and value addition to the currently commoditised dairy sector.
