Assignment Task 1: Report (50 marks) Case study on Starbucks Starbucks is pretty much a household name, but like many of the most successful worldwide brands, the coffee-shop giant has been through its periods of supply chain pain. In fact, during 2007 and 2008, Starbucks leadership began to have severe doubts about the company’s ability to supply its 16,700 outlets. As in most commercial sectors at that time, sales were falling. At the same time, though, supply chain costs rose by more than $75 million. Supply Chain Cost Reduction Challenges: When the supply chain executive team began investigating the rising costs and supply chain performance issues, they found that service was indeed falling short of expectations. Findings included the problems such as fewer than 50% of outlet deliveries were arriving on time, several poor outsourcing decisions had led to excessive 3PL expenses and the supply chain had, (like those of many global organisations) evolved, rather than grown by design, and had hence become unnecessarily complex.

The father stated that he stepped away just for a second to retrieve a new box of diaper. The mother stated that she was in another room and came running when she heard the impact. The parents further explained that the infant did not cry or make any noises after the impact, hence they called for paramedics. The distance from the top of the changing table to the floor was approximately 3 feet. Both parents denied any child abuse and stated that they deeply loved their child. During autopsy it was found that the infant had white matter contusion tears. The infant died as a result of a subdural hematoma and DAI (diffuse axonal injury).
