Supply Chain: Nestle Milk
From dairy processing and handling to dairy analysis, the dairy stock is subordinate to a highly supervised procedure.

During the processing phase, there are more than 1000 U.S. processing plants that turn milk into cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and other products.

After processing and packaging the supply, distribution companies deliver dairy products from the processor to retailers, schools, and other outlets in refrigerated trucks.
