Material Control
Inventory
In order to produce a finished product of pepsi, the company needs a variety of raw materials and ingredients such as carbonated water, sugar, color ( caramel ), acid ( phosphoric acid ), caffeine, Emulsifier ( Arabic Gum ), and natural cola flavor.
Production at the plant begins as empty bottles are unloaded from trucks via conveyor and transported to a palletizer. From there, they are, rinsed, dried and sent to a filling machine (filler speeds at the plant vary based on bottle size, ranging from 350 to 1,000 bottles per minute). The bottles leave the fillers and make their way to a packaging machine, and then to a palletizer. Each pallet is wrapped for distribution and moved to the warehouse for shipping. http://www.reliableplant.com

Supplies
Oman Refreshment Company is dealing with different companies overseas in order to provide the raw materials from them. For example concentrates and flavors, and other chemicals are imported from UAE, India, China, Pakistan, etc.

Cost control

The agreement allows Pepsi to reduce its upfront expenses, have immediate access to spares, reduce carrying costs, and update its control technology cost-effectively. The agreement also includes an in-service warranty, so the parts don’t go out of warranty until they are actually used for the warranty period. http://www.reliableplant.com

All of the organizations and corporations around the world find different types of problems. But ,to stay successful they have to identify the problems and try to find suitable solution for them.

First problem is related to industrial and manufacturing a activities .this includes issues related to manufacturing pepsi products. It is very serious problem because it affect on the company productivity a against the huge demand on pepsi Oman products.
Problems may happen in manufacturing department while they produce pepsi products they use chemical materials which change the flavor of pepsi and it reduce the quality of products that the company produces. So the mistake in using material and ingredients can reduce the quality of soft drinks.
Also ,sometime producers use ingredients with low quality and harmful materials that has led to failure and weak in production .
Other problem may happen while transferring of the pepsi to the packaging houses .this step require optimum care of maintain the quality of the soft drink. they should ensure that the sealing of the pepsi cans are sure and it closed carefully .Also they should ensure that there is no chance for leakage .in addition there are many problems related to putting cans in the boxes.
Storage :storage must be monitored by operation managers. There are many problems related to the storage of pepsi cans .as many persons said that while the can were walked over by rats and insects and this caused various disease to the people. they should ensure that cans are packaged properly before they sent it to retailers .
Last, there is problems related to human resources .some labor and workers don’t have skills and they are unqualified .
Quality issues :all previous problems can affect negatively on pepsi quality. And they don’t follow the standards of quality so operation managers must be a ware about this problem.
Dealing with problems carefully can contribute directly to the company success .we propose the following solution to reduce problems which face Pepsi Oman:

Identify the Top Five Brands in the World in 2010. Explain How These Brands Managed to Build Brand Equity and Discuss the Advantages These Brands (and Firms) Enjoy Due to Their Substantial Brand Equity

...Introduction Kotler (1996:284) describes brand equity as the value of a brand based on the extent to which it has high brand loyalty, name awareness, perceived quality, strong brand associations, patents and trademarks and The Wall Street Journal (2010:1) ranked the top five brands as Coca cola, IBM, Microsoft, Google and General Electric. Coca cola Bilaras (2012:1) maintains that Coca cola built its brand equity by adapting a global marketing strategy, which considered the whole world as a single market. The reason behind this global focus was that they viewed their product as one that can be used by everyone irrespective of age and gender. To achieve this, Coca cola created an efficient and extensive distribution system throughout the world. According to the company’s 2010 review, it managed to build its brand equity by establishing a close relationship with its bottling partners who work closely with customers to execute localized strategies developed in partnership with them. Through effective collaboration, they are able to sell Coca cola products to consumers at a rate of 1.7 billion servings a day. Coca cola’s brand equity growth is also attributed to its expanded brand variety of products like diet coke, sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid and others to appeal to a wider demographic, asserts Bilaras (2012:1). This resulted in consumers viewing coke as a part of life, leading to a high degree of brand loyalty, and growth. Growth in brand equity was also realised through...

History of Coke and Pepsi

...1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Brief History History of Pepsi:- Pepsi was first introduced as "Brad's Drink" in New Bern, North Carolina, United States, in 1893 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his drugstore where the drink was sold. It was later labeled Pepsi Cola, named after the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe. Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy. In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore to a rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup. The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles, and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1909, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield was the first celebrity to endorse Pepsi-Cola, describing it as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race." The advertising theme "Delicious and Healthful" was then used over the next two decades. In 1926, Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1905. In 1929, the logo was changed again. In 1931, at the depth of the Great Depression, the Pepsi-Cola Company entered bankruptcy – in large part due to financial losses incurred by speculating on wildly fluctuating sugar prices as a result of World War I. Assets were sold and Roy C. Megargel bought the Pepsi trademark. Megargel was unsuccessful, and soon Pepsi's assets were purchased by Charles Guth, the President of Loft Inc. Loft was a candy manufacturer with retail...

Case

...CASE: IB-84 DATE: 06/27/08 PEPSI COLA PAKISTAN: FRANCHISING & PRODUCT LINE MANAGEMENT 1 In July 1991, Irfan Mustafa faced several dilemmas. As West Asia area vice president and chief executive officer of Pepsi Cola Pakistan Incorporated (PCI), Mustafa was charged with developing a strategy to grow share and profitability across PCI sales but focusing particularly on 7-Up. Pepsi Cola International had shifted focus to its global brands and, since acquiring 7Up International in 1986, had withdrawn all marketing and technical support for Pepsi’s local Pakistani brand, Teem. As a country manager, however, Mustafa was evaluated on profitability, and Teem was a profitable brand. Mustafa knew that he would need to make important decisions about Teem in developing a brand strategy and marketing plan. Considering Teem’s success in Pakistan, Mustafa wondered how he should position the soft drink and whether to continue investing in it despite the loss of international support. With PepsiCo’s acquisition of 7-Up International, arranging for 7-Up and PCI bottlers in Pakistan to merge also became a priority for Mustafa. The ability to coordinate strategies across all bottlers producing PCI brands would be essential. By August 1990, PCI had been able to merge 7-Up and PCI bottlers in three regions. As contracts expired over the next year or two, Mustafa would need to convince the remaining 7-Up bottlers to sell their plants to PCI bottlers as well. With the mergers complete, Mustafa’s...

Fuelled by what can be termed as a perfect ingredient for any industry - large disposable incomes - the food sector has been witnessing a marked change in consumption patterns, especially in terms of food. Increasing incomes are always accompanied by a change in the food basket. The proportionate expenditure on cereals, pulses, edible oil, sugar, salt and spices declines as households climb the expenditure classes in urban India while the opposite happens in the case of milk and milk products, meat, egg and fish, fruits and beverages. For instance, the proportionate expenditure on staples (cereals, grams, pulses) declined from 45 per cent to 44 per cent in rural India while the figure settled at 32 per cent of the total expenditure on food in urban India. A large part of this shift in consumption is driven by the processed food market, which accounts for 32 per cent of the total food market. It accounts for US$ 29.4 billion, in a total estimated market of US$ 91.66 billion. The Confederation of...

... Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Industry structure – Porter five forces analysis 4 Company background 5 Globalization strategy [1995-2008] 9 Performance in EMEA 11 Findings and analysis 13 References 27 Executive Summary This study is focused on Starbucks, the world’s largest coffeehouse company. The company has the knack of finding the magic formula for every aspect – be it customer satisfaction, innovative marketing or smart partnerships.

Despite all the positives, it could not replicate the same degree of success in Europe as it enjoyed in the US. This study has analyzed the factors which might be held accountable. The aggressive policy of opening stores worldwide to achieve inimitability of its business model, loss of control over the cost of operations, the stock market’s notional correlation of success with number of stores, over-reliance on Seattle management causing a lack of decentralization of key decision-making power in multi-domestic locations and ill-founded belief in changing customers’ habits worldwide have been some of the internal factors. Externally, the factors were the public perception of the company as a symbol American corporate imperialism, the stressful and uncertain macro-economic conditions in many of the Eurozone...

Copyright © 2010, Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation Version: 2012-02-22 By 2009, Starbucks had achieved a global reach of almost 17,000 stores in 56 countries. The company had enjoyed tremendous growth over the previous two decades. Between 2007 and 2009, however, Starbucks’ relentless march had been slowed by three forces: increasingly intense competition, rising coffee bean prices and a global economic recession. To remain profitable, the company started to scale back its overseas operations. In 2010, as the world gradually emerged from the economic downturn and as prospects for growth improved, Starbucks was faced with a critical strategic decision: Should the company resume its international expansion and once again intensify its commitments in overseas markets?

The national anthem is played, flags are unfurled, and uniformed players charge up and down the field like an army in the throes of often violent conflict. The teams’ huddles divide the game into small planning sessions for the next play. In the United States, the National Football League (NFL) oversees the sport and, like any successful business, wants to score in new markets. The NFL first tackled Europe in 1991, with plans to establish American football there. After years of failed attempts, NFL Europe emerged as six teams, five of which were based in Germany (such as the Berlin Thunder, the Cologne Centurions, and the Hamburg Sea Devils).
