reliable. Weaknesses and strengths of coke supply chain
Strengths

Water management
There is shortage of water globally. Water is a raw material for the company to manufacture
its products,
Therefore, through the shortage of water the
company suffers a lot hence incurring a lot of
constraints and cost that affects its profit as
well as operating revenues. Strategy
A competitive strategy is one that can have an edge over those attempting to do the same
essential business.
With a competitive strategy, market research
can show how much a customer is willing to
pay for a product, the competitor pricing, and
the value at which your company is set. Strengths of Strategy
Market research can provide the details needed to keep cost of product low, but push
profit.
Demand of the customer will show where
they prefer to buy from.
It is possible to beat the competition when
you know a fair price, based off competitor
pricing, and customer feedback. Weakness of Strategy
The belief is that the competitors will be in the same strategy field as us.
When products are the same, preference is
an edge that most customers lean towards.
Changing price to stay ahead, can hurt in the
long run.
Lower prices do no guarantee more sales. Quality Control
Ensuring that quality is pushed over quantity, means we care about the overall outcome of
our product.
FDA regulations must be taken into account
for all practices.
Standard operating procedures will be in
place to provide how the product will be
made, and finished.
Proper documentation will be enforced,
therefore, ensuring the best resources when
the potential for an audit is to happen. Quality Control Cont.
Employee’s are expected to follow all regulations as laid out in workman’s
agreement.
Management and designee are responsible
for ensuring (to the best of their ability) that
all procedures are to be followed.
Quality Control is expected to be the final
inspection prior to release of product. Process
We start out process with the forming of the can, which is then covered in art work,
designed specifically to the product being ran
on the manufacturing line.
The line then carries each container to the
nest station for filling of the product. Again,
this depends on the manufacturing code that
is being ran.
The filled product, then moves to full sealing,
so the product does not leak. Process Cont.
Once the product is sealed, it then moves to the station in which it get packaged.
The packaging is determined based on need
and what product code is being ran. (Bottle,
Can, 6 pack, 12 pack, 24 pack, or individual.)
The product is then moved to shipping.
From shipping, the product is moved to the
order site for distribution and sale. Recommended Changes
