Abstract :

The dairy industry has a special place in the global food industry. The theme of byproducts is to reduce waste, create high added value and reduce the corresponding environmental effects as part of the components of the dairy supply chain. Because of the nutritional value and also the cost of producing these products, measures to reduce waste and provide more food are economical. Among the byproducts in the process of processing dairy products, whey is considered to be the most important and nutritious ingredient. The present paper tries to develop a model in the supply chain of dairy products and add the variable of the decision of byproducts to it, a step towards achieving these goals. By analyzing and analyzing the new model using data from the dairy industry in Kurdistan province, the profitability of this chain increases significantly after affecting the effect of whey production.
