Coca Cola Supply Chain

Adam Seeton

This is a short youtube video explaining to you how Coca Cola is so successful and how it has operations in over 200 countries. It is explaining how they run their supply chain and what goes into manufacturing the no. one selling soft drink.

Supply chain is controlling how and where they are getting the ingredients that goes into making Coca Cola. It first starts off with second tier suppliers. This is where Coca Cola is getting their vanilla flavoring, cherry flavoring, water suppliers, carbon dioxide suppliers, glass factory and aluminum factory. Then they move on to first tier suppliers. In this tier, they receive their syrup that was made at the Coke Concentrate Plants. They also get their packaging in which the Coke comes in when you purchase it. All of this goes into a manufacturing stage where everything is put together, and then it is stored in their warehouses. Finally it goes through the distribution stage to be sent out to first tier customers such as supermarkets, convenience stores and vending machine companies. Then me and you, the second tier customers, purchase the Coca Cola products including; Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Minute Maid, etc. Supply Chain Management is putting this all together at the lowest price so we, the customers, can purchase and enjoy the Coca Cola we all know today.
