...Operations Management Supply Chain Nathalia Gomez Kean University Abstract Supply chain management is the management of the flow of goods. It includes the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. It is the streamlining of a business' supply-side activities to maximize customer value and to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Supply chain management represents an effort by suppliers to develop and implement supply chains that are as efficient and economical as possible. Supply chains cover everything from production, to product development, to the information systems needed to direct these undertakings. “Supply management can be viewed as both an emergent field of practice and an emerging academic domain. Supply chain management is ultimately about influencing behavior in particular directions and in particular ways. The underlying logics, drivers, enablers and barriers merit and require close attention.” (Storey,2006) Typically, Supply Chain Management will attempt to centrally control or link the production, shipment and distribution of a product. By managing the supply chain, companies are able to cut excess fat and provide products faster. This is done by keeping tighter control of internal inventories, internal production, distribution, sales and the inventories of the company's product purchasers. Supply Chain Management is based on the idea that nearly...

...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...
