...Coca Cola 1. Information System tasks are to acquire, store and access data. IS also processes data into information and then present the information to decision makers. The functional model of an Information System includes a user, input/output, processor, and storage. Coca Cola goes all of these stages of the model. The user is the customer, the drink they chose is the input, processor is processing the input from the customer and the storage is what tells the processor to give as an output. The output is the drink that the customer chose. Software, hardware, and network all work together to complete a task. The network is the wireless connection from the coke dispenser to the headquarters. The hardware is the coke dispenser itself, and the software is what is inside the dispenser to tell it what and how to dispense to give to the customer—essentially like a recipe. 2. The data collected from the coke dispenser is what syrup is being used and how much of each syrup is being used. The information gathered from the data tells the headquarter what customers are drinking more of and at what time of the day, and also tells the business owners what to order and what to order more of. 3. When referring to the Five Forces Model I am using the company Coca Cola as to whom to buy from and the drink options as to the choices. Buyer and Supplier Power are low since they have many drink choices to choose. Threat of New Entrants is low since there are significant entry...

...Coca Cola Global Success Coca Cola Global Success The supply chain begins with extraction of raw materials, to manufacturing of product, to the distributors on to the end product user, the customer or consumer. Supply chain management is the management of processes a from the raw material suppliers to the final customer (Wisner, Choon & Leong, 2012). There are many strategies used because a break in the supply chain can cause financial havoc for a company or even destroy a company. A company must meet the customer demand and get the product out to their customer in order to stay competitive in the market and financially afloat. Distributing to a global market can bring even more risk to a company. The Coca Cola Company uses strategies that have minimized the risks including the creation of Bottling Investments Group (BIG), set up in local markets, uses a SAP integrated program, involved with environmental concerns, and employs risk management planning. Coca Cola began in 1886 by Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John Pemberton when he created the soft drink that could be sold at soda fountains. Coca Cola is a mixture of syrup and carbonated water. It expanded to soda fountains outside Atlanta. In 1894 due to growing demand the beverage was made portable and put in bottles. In 1899, three businessmen purchased the bottling rights and developed a bottling system large scale (Coca-Cola). Coca Cola Company owns and manufactures the concentrates, beverage bases and...

...Coca cola The concept of system thinking is “the process of understanding how things, regarded as systems, influence one another within a whole. In an organisation systems consist of people, structures, and processes that work together to make an organisation healthy or unhealthy”.(Ideasresearch, Systems Thinking, viewed 5 September 2012, http://youtu.be/pEIXE9DI9e4.) System thinking is useful to global supply chains because it is an approach to problem solving, by viewing “problems” as parts of an overall system, rather than reacting to specific part, outcomes or events and potentially contributing to further development of unintended consequences. System thinking is not one thing but a set of habits or practices within a framework that is based on the belief that the component parts of a system can be best understood in the context of relationships with each other and with other systems, rather than in isolation.() The company that this analysis will focus on is Coca Cola company, in particular it will focus of the challenges they face in globalisation, industry specific challenges, some risk and failure points, system thinking and the product life cycle. The coca cola enterprise is a globalised company with an iconic brand name that is known around the world.

...Supply Chain Management of Coca Cola: Raw materials The Coca Cola Company produces only the syrup that is used to make its sodas. It manufactures and distributes a number of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups. It does not produce the final beverage (Zoominfo.com, 2008). The company provides the syrups and concentrates to franchises that use these to make the final beverage although the company holds interests in some of the major bottlers and distributors. The actual formula Coca-Cola uses is a very tightly held trade secret so there is little information regarding the ingredients and thus, little information of the costs of their supplies. Specifically, the company uses high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, aspartame, and citrus concentrates. Integrated Supplier Network According to the company, the Coca-Cola system is: they produce the concentrates and bottling partners manufacture, package and distribute the product. The supplies used include sugar, citrus, coffee and other flavors, and water (Coca-Cola, 2008). Suppliers are those companies that provide the ingredients for the concentrate syrups. In 2004, Coca-Cola changed their supply chain to achieve greater efficiencies (Foley, 2004). Three business units were combined in North America to make one more efficient integrated unit (Foley, 2004). The process streamlined information technology, procurement process and supply chain operations (Foley, 2004). The company made another change in 2006, when it began...
