  6. PORTERS FIVE FORCE THEORY • Competition: Its difficult to replicate their supply chain network • New entrants: Fast food joints as well as office canteens. However, since neither of these serve home food, the dabbawallas' core offering remains unchallenged. • Bargaining power of buyers: Delivery rates are so nominal (about Rs 300 per month) that one simply wouldn't bargain any further. • Bargaining power of sellers: minimum infrastructure and practically no technology is used, hence they are not dependent on suppliers. • Threat of a new substitute product or service: Nosubstitutes to home cooked food in Indian scenario, hence threat to the dabbawalla service is not an issue at least in the foreseeable future.

  7. SWOT Analysis • Strengths: • Simplicity in organization with Innovative service • Coordination, team spirit, & time management • Low operation cost • Customer satisfaction • Low Attrition Rate • Weaknesses: • High dependability on local trains • Funds for the association • Limited Access to Education

  8. Opportunities • Wide range publicity • Operational cost is low • Catering • Threats • Indirect competition is being faced from caterers like maharaja community • Indirect threats from fast foods and hotels • Change in timings • Company transport • Ticket restaurant

  9. HOW THE DABBA IS DELIVERED The entire system depends on TEAMWORK and meticulous timing. Tiffins are Collected from homes & taken to nearest Railway Station. Then they are sorted out for area-wise distributiuon, so that a single tiffin could change hands 3 to 4 Times in the course of its daily journey.
