Johnson Beverage

La JBI è una famosa azienda che distribuisce bevande, nel business da vent’anni. Inizialmente distribuiva “sports drinks” prodotte da piccole aziende specializzate; in seguito, grazie alla popolarità raggiunta negli anni passati, ha allargato il suo business, diventando il primo fornitore per i negozi dell’area locale.

Dati dell’anno precedente

Ricavi per JBI | $ 12 milioni | Numero di clienti serviti da JBI | N° 20 | Totale acquisti dai clienti | $ 100 000- 1 milione | Prezzo non scontato per cassetta (contiene 24 bottiglie) | $ 15,20 | Costo pieno per cassetta | $ 13.10 |

| Saver Superstore | Oscar’s OddLots | Midwellen Supermarket | Downtown Retail | Totale per JBI | Costo per cassetta | $ 14.60 | $ 14.90 | $ 15.19 | $ 15.15 | $ 15.00 |

Marsha ketchum, sales manager della JBI, dopo essere venuta a conoscenza di un’incontro tra il general manager del Saver superstore con un loro concorrente e dopo aver ricevuto lamentele, da parte dello stesso general manager, per ottenere prezzi più bassi, inizia a preoccuparsi.
Per affrontare la situazione, che preoccupa molto la JBI essendo Saversuperstore uno dei loro maggiori clienti, i principali responsabili delle aree aziendali si riuniscono per decidere come comportarsi. Analizzano i costi totali e i ricavi di ciascun cliente e si accorgono che l’attuale sistema di ripartizione dei costi di servizio non rispecchia l’effettivo impiego di tempo e risorse

Secondo l’attuale sistema dei costi Saver Superstore è il cliente che crea il minor margine per l’azienda.

* Redditività dei quattro principali clienti della JBI e redditività totale durante l’anno precedente

| Saver Superstore | Oscar’s OddLots | Midwellen Supermarket | Dowtown Retail | Totale per JBI | Net revenues | $ 1 168 000 | $ 1 198 000 | $ 121 520 | $454 500 | $12 000 000 | Cost of goods | 1 084 000 | 1 084 000 | 104 800 | 393 000 | 10 480 000 | Gross margin

    Cerujugo Hr Case Analysis

    From the assigned reading it becomes clear that there are a number of symptoms which suggest that beverage manufacturer and distributer Cerjugo SA is a company in crisis. The main signal that Cerjugo is not living up to its expectations is that its forecasted sales and profit targets, for its juice division, have not been met for two consecutive years this is especially troubling for a company which in the past boasted a 98% share of the beer market in Latin America. Beyond the lack luster sales numbers there are many other symptoms that Cerjugo’s juice division is ailing, such as reports that potential customers are not aware of the “freshness” and high quality of the product and the brand reputation is suffering accordingly, this is particularly problematic because the “freshness” of Cerjugo’s juice is their main value proposition. Fault lines are also starting to show on the personnel front, with increased turnover rates in their sales force as well as stresses between top executives at the company, which often has them battling one another. Recently, Cerjugo President Manuel Perreria heard that his Manager of Juice Manufacturing, George Novedads will be resigning to take a position with a rival company, a clear sign that things have gone amiss.…

    Acct 574 Case Study 1

    • 1103 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Parmalat situation started out as a fairly standard – although sizeable –accounting fraud. Not even the best auditors could prepare for what was to come from this company. The Parmalat group, a world leader in the dairy food business, collapsed and entered bankruptcy protection in December 2003 after acknowledging massive holes in its financial statements. This happened when billions of euros seem to have gone missing from the company’s accounts. This dramatic collapse has led to the questioning of the soundness of accounting and financial reporting standards as well as of the Italian corporate governance system. Parmalat, which is headquartered in the central Italian city of Parma, was, like most Italian firms, launched as a family business. Under the direction of Calisto Tanzi, the capofamiglia, he began expanding the business shortly after his father’s death in 1961, transforming it from a small sausage and cheese shop into an international food and beverage concern. In a world where your network is your net worth, he formed close relationships with the Christian Democrats, who governed Italy throughout the postwar period. Today Parmalat is a leading producer of such items as pasteurized milk, cheese, yogurt, cookies, juice and iced tea, most of which are sold under a variety of names in different countries. Well-known names in North America include Archway and Mother’s cookies, Olivina margarine, Black Diamond and Balderson’s cheeses, and Astro yogurt. After such a description one may think that the company is very successful but this was only the beginning.…

    Over the past two years, Jones Soda Company has successfully acquired strategic alliances with various companies in order to provide deeper and more diverse market exposure. Some of these companies include Barnes & Noble, Panera Bread, and Starbucks. Since Jones does not deal in multimillion dollar advertising campaigns, this is their best way to promote their brand. By offering their wide assortment of beverages in stores and restaurants, Jones has been able to sell more to the consumer than would be at all possible on their own. In order to best continue on this route to success, the current recommendation is to acquire a strategic alliance with Applebee’s.…

    Dr. Pepper 7 Up Inc.

    • 4346 Words
    • 18 Pages

    An offering consists of the benefits or satisfaction provided to target markets by an organization. It consists of a tangible product or service (a physical entity) plus related services (delivery and setup), brand name(s), warranties or guarantees, and packaging. Focusing on the term offering rather than just the product or service forces the marketer to go beyond the single tangible entity being marketed and to consider the entire offering, or extended product or service. When the focus is on the benefits and satisfaction offered it establishes a conceptual framework. Marketers can then potentially use this framework to analyze competing offerings, identify the unmet needs and wants of target markets, and develop or design new products or services. Offerings illustrate not only the buyer needs served, but they are also the types of customer groups sought and the means for satisfying their needs. Dr. Pepper/Seven Up are consistently ranked among the top-ten soft drink brands in the United States as measured by market share. Their biggest competitors are Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola. Within the citrus-flavored soft drink category Squirt competes with; Coca-Cola's Mello Yello and Surge, Pepsi-Cola's Mountain Dew, and Sundrop marketed by Dr. Pepper/Seven Up. The Squirt Brand, a product of Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., has had a recent dip in case sales volume. Some potential causes of this dip could come from a growing Hispanic community in markets where Squirt was popular. This issue means that Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., should review their current offering and determine what the unmet needs or wants are of the target market. In this case, the research has shown that a potential problem could lie in the recent growth of the Hispanic community and maybe the advertisement of the Squirt Brand is not reaching this market. Once the unmet needs or wants are identified the organization will need to…

    Australian Beverages Limited

    • 54 Pages

    Australian Beverages Limited (ABL) commenced soft drink manufacturing in 1937. During the 1970s and 1980s, the company expanded its beverage portfolio by entering into other non-alcoholic beverage categories, such as fruit and milk-based drinks. Entry into the snack food market was recently undertaken in response to declining consumption of carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), the company’s traditional area of business strength. This move also enabled ABL to leverage its strong distribution capabilities to supermarkets, convenience stores and hospitality channels by adding adding such complementary food products to non-alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, CSDs still accounted for 90 per cent of company revenue in 2004. Tom Dwyer, the current managing director, has been with the company since 2005. He joined the company at a time when CSD growth was stagnating and shareholder confidence in the company was waning. This had resulted in the share price declining by 15 per cent in the two years prior to his appointment. In order to restore shareholder confidence, Dwyer established a strategic planning team within the company to assess the current product portfolio and identify organic and acquisition growth opportunities. From this review the importance of operational excellence was identified and strong investment was made in world class manufacturing facilities and systems. Process re-engineering was implemented to reduce costs of manufacture and time to market. Having finalised the integration of a snack food business acquisition just over 12 months ago, Dwyer is now aware that he needs to identify further growth options given predicted continuing decline in the CSD market. In January 2010 he asked the strategic planning team to undertake another detailed review of opportunities for…
