The main assignment tasks are the following: http://www.academia.edu/8516165/Organisational_Behaviour_A_case_study_of_CocaCola_Company https://www.scribd.com/doc/138053993/Organizational-Behavior-A-Case-Analysis-of-Google In a Case Study Report, include the following: 4 MBA 5003 Ma naging L ogistic s and Technolog y 1. Identify a product or service company (or other organization) with which you are familiar. Provide a brief description of the company. 2. Describe, in general, the key operations in this company and how these operations relate to the company’s strategy, its competitive priorities, and the key performance indicators used by the company 3. Using the operations model presented in Unit 5003 Modules A, B, and C, define in detail one of these operations, clearly identifying the transforming and transformed resources, the transformation process, and the outputs and outcomes of the operation 4. Provide a critical review of this key operation and its management that might underpin its future improvement and contribution to the company’s competitive priorities 5. Present this in an Operations Plan for this operation (based on your analysis and review) which highlights the resources and key management decisions that might need to be made to secure improvement in the operation. Developing an Operational Plan Operational planning takes the broad strategies and objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan, turns them into specific tasks and allocates the people and other resources of the organisation to get them done. It addresses the question – ‘What do we need to do to make it all happen and know we are on track?’ It provides the staff and volunteers in the organisation with their day to day and week to week tasks, lets them know where they are going and gives them a measure of what they are expected to achieve. It makes sense that the people who are most directly responsible for ensuring that the outcomes are achieved are included in the development of the workplans. Specific activities are nominated that are necessary to achieve the strategies and goals set by the board or management committee. Specific staff, timelines and resources are allocated to these activities which then form the basis for reporting and evaluation. Assignment task requires a description of the allocation of resources, a timeline, and the performance indicators against which the plan will be measured and assessed. This will involve a description of: • • • • Allocation of Human Resources (Who is responsible?) Allocation of Financial Resources (How much budget?) Setting Timelines (When does this happen?) Setting Performance Indicators (What are we aiming to achieve?) Each of these elements is explained below: Allocating Human Resources Every strategy must have an “owner” i.e. somebody has to be responsible for the implementation of that strategy. If someone is not made responsible for the strategy, it is highly likely that it will not be implemented. Human Resources Plan Can include: Any proposed staff/volunteer changes; Professional Development Plan (including Management Committee, staff, volunteers) For example: Strategy Person Responsible Conduct series of three Clinics for Coaches Coaching Director The strategy may be allocated to just one person, or to a group of people e.g. a team of people, a sub-committee or a department. MBA 5003 Ma naging L ogistic s and Technolog y 5 Allocating Financial Resources Not every strategy requires money, but most will. If people have to be paid to carry out work, then there will be financial resources needed for their remuneration. If volunteers are involved, money may need to be set aside for food and/or other necessities. Many strategies will involve administration costs in the form of telephone calls, printing and photocopying and postage. Some strategies will involve the purchasing of equipment, or materials, or promotional costs such as advertising. The point is that thought has to be given to all possible costs that might be incurred if a strategy is implemented. If there is an inadequate allocation of money for the implementation of a strategy, chances are it will fail. A financial plan can include: • Annual budget • Cash flow projection • Cash management plan Setting Timelines The implementation of any strategy needs a timeline, that is a time period during which work is performed to achieve the desired outcome. The time period can be as short as a day, or it can be several months. The time period could be in the near future, or it might be scheduled for a future year. The purpose of inserting a timeline for each strategy in the Operational Plan is to give order to the many tasks that need to be carried out. There are always limited resources and therefore, at any given time, decisions need to be made as to priorities and where work effort should be focused. It is pointless focusing the work effort on strategies that don’t need to be completed yet at the expense of work being performed on strategies that are urgent. For example: Strategy Person Responsible Submit application for Government funding of new all-weather pitch Costing completed by 30 March 2013 Submit application by 30 June 2013 Set Performance Indicators There are a number of reasons why it is a general practice of business planning to set performance indicators. The term ‘performance indicator’ may be defined as a standard or target that should be achieved. If the standard is reached or the target is achieved, then the strategy might be considered as “performed”, in other words it is a success. For example: Strategy Person Responsible Conduct series of three Clinics for Coaches 20 coaches attending each Host an Open Day 100 visitors from the general public 6 MBA 5003 Ma naging L ogistic s and Technolog y Assignment Assessment Criteria The following criteria apply to the assessment of assignment submissions: a.

It is widely known for their flagship product Coca-Cola. Their success can be attributed to their robust supply chain and excellent supply chain management. This report analyses the company’s current internal and external situation through performing PESTLE and SWOT analysis. This report also discusses the factors that underpins TCCC’s remarkable supply chain including supply chain management and strategies. An outstanding and unique strategy of the company is an emphasis on maintaining and strengthening TCCC’s relationship with local suppliers, retailers and bottlers. There are multiple issues identified in TCCC’s supply chain, including the lack of sustainability, safety and regulation issues, and a lack of innovation compared to their main competitor, Pepsi. TCCC uses information systems (IS) and advanced technologies such as 3D printing, digital marketing, RFID technology and artificial intelligence to grow and optimise their supply chain. This report also includes some recommendations to improve TCCC’s supply chain and resolve some of the issues identified. To conclude, TCCC’s impressive supply chain is one of the factors of its success, and has long been a model for other organisations to follow. By constantly improving and optimising their supply chain, TCCC can continue to expand and grow as the world’s leading beverage company. 2 Table of Contents Executive Summary 2 Introduction 4 Scope 4 Reasons for selecting the company 5 Current situation including internal and external analysis SWOT Analysis PESTEL Analysis 5 6 7 Supply Chain Management 7 Supply Chain Strategies 8 Using Information Systems (IS) 9 Issues identified 10 Recommendations for supply chain improvement 11 Conclusion 12 References 14 Appendix 19 3 Introduction The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) is a multinational conglomerate firm founded in 1892, known primarily for their flagship product Coca-Cola, a carbonated beverage that dominates the international beverage market. The corporation’s headquarters are in Georgia, United States. TCCC is the largest distributor and manufacturer of beverages in the world, with more than 2,800 different products available in virtually every country in the world (Zeidan, 2021). It was reported that over 10,000 beverages from TCCC are consumed every second globally ("Coca-Cola Company Statistics and Facts - Market.us", 2021). As a result, TCCC became one of the world’s best-known brands and is one of the largest companies in the US. At least part of TCCC’s success can be attributed to supply chain management. Supply chain can be defined as organisations or individuals that are directly involved in the flow of information, products and/or services from its source to a consumer (Mentzer et al., 2001). Activities in the supply chain involve transforming raw materials into a product which is then delivered to consumers (Kozlenkova et al., 2015). Supply chain is closely linked to the transformation process and value chain (Nagurney, 2006). Scope This report will analyse TCCC’s current internal and external situation, its supply chain strategies and management method. This report will also discuss the possible improvements that can be made to the supply chain of TCCC, recommendations and their practical implementations, as well as explore the impact of information systems has on the company. Due 4 to the nature and word constraints of this assignment, not every aspect of TCCC’s supply chain will be discussed. Reasons for selecting the company TCCC has an impressive supply chain, with 56 plants, 279 production lines and 98 distribution centres worldwide (Walendy, 2021). Moreover, they are able to get their products from their factories to shelves within 48 hours (White, 2021). Given the vast nature of TCCC, this accomplishment is no small feat. TCCC was selected precisely because of this. The corporation is known for its robust yet innovative and flexible supply chain management techniques, pioneering new strategies in the food and beverage industry. Current situation including internal and external analysis The current internal and external situation of TCCC will be analysed using SWOT and PESTLE analysis. Both are important concepts commonly used by businesses to track and analyse the environments that they are operating in. SWOT analysis helps businesses evaluate their internal environment and how they compare to their competitors (Teoli et al., 2019). It is a mnemonic that denotes S for Strengths, W for Weaknesses, O for Opportunities, and T for Threats. On the other hand, PESTLE analysis is an exceptionally powerful and robust tool that businesses can use to understand their external environment and is quite possibly the most utilized model in the evaluation of the external business climate (Perera, 2017). PESTLE is a 5 mnemonic that denotes P for Political, E for Economical, S for Strengths, T for Technological, L for Legal and E for Environmental. SWOT Analysis 6 PESTEL Analysis Supply Chain Management Supply chain is the process of buying raw materials, converting it into finished goods and providing it to end users through retailers or making direct sales ("Supply Chain", 2021). Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the management of the whole process from buying raw materials, 7 converting it into finished goods, and then delivering it to the desired location, either retailers or outlets, or making direct sales online ("Supply Chain", 2021). It aims to identify and implement processes and systems to maximise value across all activities ("Supply Chain", 2021). TCCC procurement starts with purchasing raw materials such as sugar cane and water from local suppliers. The first step of production includes production of concentration. After production, it is packed and distributed to retailers and distributors such as grocery stores, restaurants and cinemas (Walendlay, 2020). TCCC has over 900 bottling and manufacturing facilities worldwide, including some of the world’s fastest production lines. TCCC incorporates cutting-edge technology into its supply chain with ease. For example, it makes some of its bottles and cans for its drinks using 3D printing (White, 2020). TCCC also has a Global Supply Chain Council, made up of subcommittees that are responsible for adhering to the defined TCCC supply chain strategy and to improve the performance of their supply chain operators. Supply Chain Strategies TCCC is well-known for their efficient and remarkable supply chain strategies. A company’s logistics expertise is integral to their supply chain. TCCC has integrated several strategies into their supply chain to ensure efficiency and excellence. First, the company uses advanced, modern technology such as 3D printing to produce small quantities of bottles and cans (Bilton, 2021). Another way TCCC optimises their supply chain is through local sourcing and partnerships with local suppliers. This reduces the time it takes for the company to deliver their raw materials (e.g. sugar) to the processing plants, which drastically lowers risks. This also helps 8 boost the socio-economic development in these countries by increasing employment rates. Moreover, the company highlights the importance in maintaining partnerships with their suppliers, strengthening the supply network (COWS, 2021). For example, McDonalds has been a key partner of TCCC’s since 1955. Supplier relationship management has always been a key part of TCCC’s supply chain. The company holds annual meetings which include their key suppliers and key customers. The meetings also provide an opportunity for the company to discuss their market needs and the suppliers’ latest innovations (Dynamic inventory, 2018). Moreover, they work and collaborate closely with their bottlers. The company’s guidelines for its bottling partners and suppliers are centralised and directly supervised by The Coca-Cola Export Corporation (TCCEC). This means that most of the decisions regarding the organisation’s operations are made by the headquarters. Using Information Systems (IS) TCCC has been very successful in incorporating information systems (IS) into their organization. Advanced technologies in their supply chain are one of the main reasons why it is so efficient and excellent. One of the strengths as identified in SWOT analysis above is TCCC’s strong marketing strategies. Through digital channels, and mobile adoption, their brand is being recognized globally through advertisement campaigns on social media sites (Home Hub Admin, 2020). Another way TCCC has incorporated IS into their organisation is using 3D printing when manufacturing bottles and cans for short-run manufactures like Diet Coke Feisty Cherry (Shrum, 9 2018). Additionally, the use of System Application Product’s Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP’s ERP). TCCC partnered with SAP to develop a beverage-specific application (Songini, 2004). SAP ERP is one of the world’s leading software systems that manages business processes. The last one is their innovative way of using RFID technology wherein TCCC used an RFID enabled drink dispenser (Clary, 2009). TCCC partnered with Genesys in 2019 to transform their customer experience through the combination of AI and machine learning that gave the business agility, interoperability, and omnichannel solution (Genesys, 2021). Issues identified An issue that has been identified is the lack of innovation. Pepsi, TCCC’s main competitor, offers food products such as Lays and Cheetos. TCCC needs to urgently diversify their products to remain competitive. Several food safety issues were faced by the company in the past couple of years. The issues included a pesticide scare in India and a contamination scare in Belgium (Reeves, 2021). This can negatively impact the company’s brand and reputation. Concerns about the safety of food additives have become more prevalent in recent years, and food safety regulators are cracking down on various food safety requirements. One of the biggest and most pressing issues identified in TCCC’s supply chain is sustainability. Four sustainability issues that TCCC is faced with are water, climate, sustainable packaging and energy (Coca-Cola supply chain management, n.d.). TCCC’s factory emissions contribute to climate change by emitting a large quantity of CO2. A recent study in 2019 has 10 named TCCC as the largest plastic polluter in the world (Home Hub Admin, 2021). Currently, only 20–25% of TCCC’s beverages packaging is recyclable plastic (O'Reilly, 2011). Recommendations for supply chain improvement One of the most common ways to improve supply chain is by increasing supply chain visibility. This can reduce disruptions in the supply chain due to unforeseeable external factors such as natural disasters or abnormal weather. Supply chain visibility is an organisation’s ability to track raw materials and manufacturing processes from source to consumers (Ault, 2021). Improving visibility can also improve customer satisfaction due to fast delivery. It is recommended that TCCC invest in a system that can effectively and accurately track real-time locations of shipments, predict lead time and analyse information collected. As the world’s largest soft drink company, it is expected to continue pushing the envelope by developing new products and expanding its existing line. In order to compete with Pepsi, its main competitor, TCCC needs to be more innovative and diversify its product portfolio. For example, TCCC can introduce food products to compliment the beverages. Having a variety of products will allow the company to grow and attract more investors. TCCC has faced a slew of controversies regarding its products safety records. It is recommended that TCCC take these food safety and regulatory issues seriously by responding to these criticisms and implement stricter rules and guidelines in their supply chain. For example, more food safety officers should be appointed and quality control checks need to be done regularly and randomly (Kregiel, 2015). 11 Sustainability has been a big problem for TCCC, and the company has been criticised by environmental groups as being one of the largest contributors to plastic pollution. TCCC should work towards a completely plastic-free packaging to reduce plastic pollution, as well as implementing a circular economy in their supply chain. For example, consumers can return Coca-Cola glass bottles to retailers or bottlers in exchange for a discount in their next purchase. It is acknowledged that converting from single-use plastic bottles to more sustainable packaging might not be cost effective, but as the world’s leading beverage manufacturer, TCCC has a social and ethical responsibility to reduce their plastic waste and carbon footprint. The company can utilise its existing 3D printing more by investing in more 3D printers as this technology is widely known to be more sustainable because it reduces waste (TCCC, 2021). Conclusion To conclude, many organisations are following TCCC’s example and are looking to constantly improve and optimise their supply chains. Many factors contribute to TCCC’s impressive supply chain management system, including but not limited to, advanced technologies, an emphasis on supplier and partner relationships management and strict quality control. They were also able to integrate advanced IS into their organisation to make their supply chain efficient and excellent by using technologies such as 3D printing, RFID technologies and their CRM. The unique amalgamation of these strategies make TCCC the leading beverage company in the world. However, TCCC is not perfect. One of the most prominent issues identified in their supply chain is sustainability. TCCC is one of the world’s largest contributors to plastic pollution. Moreover, they have also faced multiple safety and contamination issues, as 12 well as a lack of innovation when compared to their biggest competitor, Pepsi. Based on these issues, we have made some recommendations to improve their supply chain which entails increasing supply chain visibility, improving innovation and moving towards a more sustainable supply chain by removing waste and single-use plastic packaging. By incorporating these recommendations, we believe that TCCC can optimise their supply chain and further expand their business, as well as take a step forward to fulfilling their social and ethical responsibility by reducing their carbon footprint. 13 References Ault, W., 2021.

Some kinds of vehicles like thar is very popular and unique vehicle of the company. 6. The after-sale cost of Mahindra vehicles is very low due to various reasons such as easily available spare parts, available in almost every part of the country etc. So, the large number of people prefer to buy vehicles of the company as compared to other companies which affects the reputation and profit of company positively. Weaknesses: the factors that affect the operations of the organization negatively are identified and listed below: 1. The main revenue (almost 60%) of the company is generated from the country India only. So, the company is less popular in other countries. So, the revenue of the Mahindra Company is geographically dependent which affects the growth of the company negatively. 2. The competition is very high for the company in every country including India. So, the Mahindra Company need to take several steps to lead in the market. 3. The company need to focus on its brand image and marketing strategies to attract more people which will lead the company towards growth. 4.

Vendors & suppliers of spare parts etc Engineering department Dealers & retail customers Manufacturing department Mahindra agencies Quality assurance Marketing department SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGIES The management of supply chain is very important for every business. The businesses adopt several new strategies that help the business to grow by managing its supply chain efficiently. The supply chain strategies of the Mahindra Company are following: 1. The company source the input materials/ past assembles across the world leading to a complex supply chain. 2. The company is focusing on reducing the production lead time by 20% (Mahindra, n.d). 3. The new strategy of the company is the sourcing strategy that will help the company to reduce the purchasing cost by 2-3% in every year (Hogg, 2014). 4. The company adopted several logistics solutions for transforming its supply chain (Mahindra, 2021).

These practices and services improve the efficiency of supply chain of Mahindra. MANAGEMENT METHOD Following are some key management methods that the company adopted for managing the supply chain: 1.

ISSUES IDENTIFIED Following are some issues identified in supply chain management of Mahindra Company: 1. One of the issues is the marketing department. In today’s competitive world, marketing involving sales pitch, advertisement etc plays crucial role in leading the business towards success. The brand imaging of the Mahindra is very effective in India. But, they need to focus on marketing and brand imaging in other countries as well. There is requirement of improving efficiencies in various tasks and activities performed by the marketing department. 2. Retail customers, vendors, suppliers, dealers also play important role in improving the reputation as well as the revenue. But, Mahindra is not dealing with multiple dealers in other countries except India which affects the revenue as well as the reputation of the company in negative way. So, the company must deal with different vendors and suppliers in other countries as well so that cheaper and betterquality spare parts, machinery etc can be purchased and efficiency in supply chain can be improved. In addition to that, the company should approach dealers in various countries so that sales of various vehicles of the company should be improved. RECOMMENDATIONS After critical analysis of several factors including the SWOT analysis, following recommendations are made for improving the supply chain management of Mahindra Company: 1. The company should deal with multiple dealers, vendors, suppliers etc in other countries as well rather than just being dependent on vendors available in India. This will give the company better and more options that will help in increasing the revenue as well as the quality of vehicles manufactured by the company. 2. The company should focus on brand imaging in various countries which will help the company in enhancing the sales of vehicles worldwide. 3. The technology plays important role in success of the business. in this competitive world, businesses need to cope up with the latest technologies to gain the competitive advantage. So, the Mahindra company should be aware of the latest trends, technologies etc which can improve the value and efficiency of the supply chain of the company. CONCLUSION In a nutshell, it can be concluded that the Mahindra Company is well performing company in India and some other countries as well. They have adopted complex supply chain and some strategies for improving the growth of the business as well as managing its supply chain efficiently. But, still there are some issues that affects the performance of its supply chain. The company should focus on resolving these issues.
