Question 1 Imagine that you own a company that manufactures carbonated beverages. The name of the company is 'Sparkle Pop' and its only offering is flavoured carbonated drinks that come in six flavours. Sparkle pop has become very popular in South Africa due to its delicious taste and affordability. The company sources its ingredients from local suppliers and owns the packaging and manufacturing plant that it uses. The lifecycle of the product is simple and begins at the sourcing phase, then to the manufacturing phase and finally once the beverage is produced it is distributed to retailers and wholesalers to be sold to the end customer. The company wants to improve its supply chain performance to expand its reach in Africa. Analyze the above case and using your own perspective construct a cycle view of Sparkle Pop's supply chain processes. You can include a diagram to depict your perception of each process. Ensure that you critically explain each cycle by applying the context of the above case. (Marks: 45) Question 2 As the owner of Sparkle Pop, you want to understand how you can improve supply chain performance in terms of responsiveness and efficiency.
