Introduction
The Coca-Cola Company was originally established as the J. S. Pemberton Medicine Company, a co-partnership between Dr. John Stith Pemberton and Ed Holland.
Dr. John Stith Pemberton for the first time produced the syrup for Coca-Cola on May 8, 1886.
The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company, largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world.
The Coca-Cola formula and brand was bought in 1889 by Asa Candler who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in 1892. Besides its namesake Coca-Cola beverage, Coca-Cola currently offers nearly 400 brands in over 200 countries or territories and serves 1.5 billion servings each day.
HISTORY OF COCA-COLA
This story begins in Atlanta, Georgia on May 8, 1886, when a pharmacist called Dr. John Smith Pemberton first mixed Coca-Cola in his back yard. This formula, which was made from carbonated water, cane sugar syrup, caffeine, extracts of kola nuts and cola leaves, was brought to the nearby Jacobs’ Pharmacy where it made its Debut as a soft drink the same day, selling for only 5 cent. His bookkeeper named this drink “Coca-Cola” after the first two ingredients and the same distinctive script he wrote it in is the same logo they use To this day.
In January 1893 Coca-Cola was registered with the U.S. patent office. Later on in 1915 the Root glass company created the famous contour glass bottle for Coca-Cola in 1915.
In 1917 Coca-Cola was found to be the world’s most recognized trademark with a record of 3 million Coke’s sold per day. Unfortunately, John Pemberton fell ill, and did not live to see his product’s success
Sadly, in the first year of Coke’s existence, Pemberton and his partner only made $50. Pemberton sold two third of his business in 1888 to cover his losses and keep the business afloat.
He died later that year, and Mr. Candler, an Atlanta druggist, purchased total interest in Coca-Cola for an unbelievable $2,300 in 1891. In 1891,Candler and his brother formed the Coca-Cola Company.

Nature and Scope of Production and Operations Management;
The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) is committed to ensuring that our entire supply chain, including Bottlers, co-packers, direct & authorized suppliers, is in compliance with local laws & the values reflected in our Workplace Rights Policy (WRP) & Supplier Guiding Principles (SGP). Compliance with local work hours and overtime laws is a fundamental component of WRP and SGP.
In addition to legal violations, excessive overtime in the workplace can lead to serious operational consequences as well as disrupt employee work life balance. Reducing overtime may significantly increase employee morale, decrease quality incidents and reduce overtime labor costs thereby improving business results and fostering a Great Place to Work.
We have found that once management understand the true costs related to overtime they often choose to address the issue proactively and the results of doing so, as discussed below, can be dramatic.
Filling:
The finished product is transferred into bottles or cans at extremely high flow rates. The containers are immediately sealed with pressure-resistant closures, either tinplate or steel crowns with corrugated edges, twist off, or pull tabs.
Because soft drinks are generally cooled during the manufacturing process, they must be brought to room temperature before labeling to prevent condensation from ruining the labels. This is usually achieved by spraying the containers with warm water and drying them. Labels are then affixed to bottles to provide information about the brand, ingredients, shelf life, and safe use of the product. Most labels are made of paper though some are made of a plastic film. Cans are generally pre-printed with product information before the filling stage.
Finally, containers are packed into cartons or trays which are then shipped in larger pallets or crates to distributors.
