Module 2 – SLP STARBUCKS
Quality Management
Welcome to the second SLP for this course. This is a very
simple assignment. I want you to look at the logistics system of
the organization (STARBUCKS) you are examining and in a 2-3
page paper answer the following question.
Is quality integrated into the (STARBUCKS) organization's
logistics process?
Submit your assignment for grading by the end of this module.
Use the same format as your module one paper.

SLP Assignment Expectations
It is expected that the SLP assignment demonstrates an
understanding of how and if quality is integrated into the
logistics of the reference organization. Expectations for the
paper are focused on the work demonstrating a critical
assessment of current practices and their effectiveness.

Abstract:
The March 2007 pet food recall and a rapid progression of
comparable incidents have exposed the real potential for food
supply chain contamination and disruptions. When
organizations source via multilayered supply chains with poor
visibility they are particularly vulnerable. In this paper, we
develop a conceptual framework called the "Six Ts" of supply
chain quality management - traceability, transparency,
testability, time trust and training - which are relevant for any
product but are especially critical to the preservation of public
welfare through a safe food supply. We describe the
globalization of food supply chains and present data on the
trends of U.S. food import volumes, both in aggregate and
specifically from China. We also highlight the inherent
difficulties and risks posed by global food supply chains, using
those originating in China as an example. Finally, we provide a
research agenda and questions to be addressed regarding the
application of the six Ts in global food supply chain
management

Supply Chains: A Study of United States Automakers,

Abstract:
Quality assurance practices in the supply chain of American
automakers have evolved through decades from quality
inspection and quality control to statistical process control and
quality auditing. Emergence of quality auditing had been
accompanied by the creation of numerous customer specific
quality standards. Further, with globalization of the supply
chain, quality assurance practices in global supply chains have

been taking a new direction from that of inspection and quality
control to Six Sigma continuous quality improvement. This
research, presents how a Six Sigma approach to quality
management can be used successfully for continuous quality
assurance and quality improvement in the global supply chain of
United States auto manufacturers for achieving competitiveness
in world market place.

Abstract:
In today's world of global outsourcing, supply chain
management plays an ever important, strategic and expanding
role in delivering results. Total quality management ensures
processes are followed and customers are satisfied. To ensure
reliability and the high quality that is required by customers,
companies must understand suppliers' organizational and
cultural environments and processes. Alignment of
organizational performance goals between the supplier and the
customer supports effective risk management. The Supply Chain
Operations Resource (SCOR) model provided a structural
taxonomy to model customer interactions, product transactions,
demand in the market, work in progress and planning. The
SCOR model provided organizations the ability to build the
information support infrastructure to effectively manage the
supply chain. Understanding the taxonomy of the SCOR model
provides a path to organizational transformation that leverages
the economics of scale in the larger organization with the
economies of efficiency represented by the supplier base.

political differences when implementing quality control
initiatives at the global scale?

3. Discuss the role and importance of the "6-Ts" (Traceability,
Transparency, Testability, Time, Trust, and Training) relative to
food supply chain quality management.
