...known to put their profits before the people are but not limited to: Pfizer, ExxonMobil and Chevron. While doing the research for Week 1e-Activity I came across several website articles that discussed Nestle and child slavery and/or child labor. While reading this I became appalled with what I was reading and decided to share this case with you. Per the International Labour Organization, which is part of the UN, it is estimated that 284,000 children are working in dangerous conditions on cocoa farms in Côte d’Ivoire (the Ivory Coast) in Africa, where more than 40% of the world’s chocolate comes from. In recent years it has come to light that Nestlé buys from a third party cocoa that has been picked by slave labor and child labor. It has been said that children as young as twelve years of age have been kidnapped, trafficked or coerced labor. In 2005 nonprofit organizations sued Nestlé under two federal statutes, Torture Victim Protection Act and the Alien Tort Claims Act, which allows victims of human rights abuses who do not reside in the United States to sue U.S companies for violations of international law. The suit also charged Nestlé of making false claims that the problem of child labor on cocoa farms were being resolved. Nestlé ’s response was the following: "Nestlé is not the owner of any plantation," says Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chief executive, exasperated after seven years of protests connecting the Swiss multinational with forced child labor in Ivory Coast.

All three companies wanted implementation of new technology systems to streamline workflow giving employees easy access to information in order to focus on higher value tasks. These companies require a knowledge management system to simplify and automate processes where employees and suppliers capture, assess, analyze and use information to support more effective decision making. Nestle had multiple purchasing systems and no formal processes of tracking ice cream flavors, orders or volumes. Non of the groups that were going to be directly affected by the new processes and systems were represented on the key stakeholders team. In its haste to unify the company's separate brands, the project team had essentially replaced divisional silos with process silos. Nestle focused on installing software but did not focus on changing business processes and achieving universal buy-in. Nestle learned the hard way that an enterprisewide rollout involves much more than simple installying software. Pella wants to create visibility and achieve interplant synchronyzation to create better scheduling higher labour productivity and lower inventories.
