Del Rio was established in 1933, and it is located in California. Its owners are Bob and Maria. Del Rio is an agricultural business where processed canned products and fresh produce are sold. Both owners have the same agricultural background which is why they are doing this business. They are running Del Rio successfully. When the world was going through a great depression, many businesses had tough time to survive. However, Del Rio Foods, Inc. was in stable condition even though they did not make a lot of money. From 1987 to 1990, their Income Statement shows that they had a steady increase in their net income each year. The CEO’s objective is to expand his business as far as into east coast. Del Rio acquired a couple of farms …show more content…
Back in 1930s to 1960s, their sales rose. Each year they did better than previous year. During WWII, Del Rio got most of its business from the U.S military as well as from new migrants in California. Every company has some ups and downs, and so does Del Rio. According to consultants’ preliminary report, “During the past six years, net income has had no real growth. The overall income has in fact dropped during this period…, …the second quarter of this year, net income before taxes decreased by about 30 percent.” Basically, the company is going through financial crisis due to decrease in its sales. Is there any business that does not go through these difficult times? According to consultants in the case study, “We have found the output and also the input quality control inadequate and ineffective, substandard raw materials have been accepted from suppliers on fourteen occasions have repeatedly gone bad while in storage, inadequate supply of some items has either stopped or slowed down production, the morale among production workers is found to be very low.” The team leader is not performing his job well. The employees are being nonchalant at work which is destroying company’s image. As a result, the company will lose its business. In addition, consultants found out that “The production facilities are too old. About 6o percent of the machinery is semi-obsolete…, the facilities are maintained at

“Our food system is 21st century, but our government’s food-safety system is stuck in the 1900s.” (Bryan Walsh). This is a 21st century of new technology and better health care, but our food-safety system can’t get any better. Food safety is not as safe as it should be. This is one thing that should not be taken for granted. We are dealing with people’s lives and their health. Our government does not care how safe our food is. These meat packing companies and corporations get away from lack of food and safety inspections because people in our own government have worked for these companies. Even though these companies are main source of food, and because of the lack of concern for the food-safety system there needs to be stricter
Most people do not look at the ingredients on anything they use. While doing research, I realized that corn is in practically everything. When it comes to food products that include corn, I use quite a bit. Popcorn, tortillas de maiz, tortilla chips, tostadas, frozen corn, hominy for posole and menudo, and masa used to make tamales, sopes, and gorditas are a few of them. Corn plays a very important role in Mexican cuisine and I use most of the foods listed many times a month. Though I will say the hominy for posole and menudo is more of a special occasion dish and is used a bit less frequently. For favorites, I would have to say popcorn and masa are at the top of my list. These are the products that people know for sure that corn is a part of.

Management structure should be relooked and possibly restructured. The management structure that is currently in place is not conducive to the work function that it oversees. Before the problem can be fully understood it is important that the players and their positions be clarified.
A lot of Americans think they know Mexican food. An occasional trip down to Taco Bell, Chipotle or Baja Fresh is the limit of most people's education. Why go any further? What is there to know beyond nachos drizzled with cheese and jalapenos, tacos soaked full of beef and sour cream and burritos, approaching the size of infant children, stuffed full of pork and cooked in a deep fryer? Sadly, calling this Mexican food is a bit more than just a stretch.
Throughout my time living in Ontario, I’ve never really had the pleasure of going out and experiencing different restaurants. I was usually busy throughout whole day, hardly any time for myself. These past two years I have been slowly introducing myself to different locations to dine. I recently came upon this place that caught my attention “Habaneros Mexican Food”. I can honestly say for a small establishment, the atmosphere, and the aroma of mouth savoring food it truly was a great choice.
The film I watched was titled Food, Inc. This film examines the food industry and the industrial production of the many products we eat today (meats, grains, and vegetables). This film is trying to explain how agribusiness is producing food that is not healthy. In the film they also assess how todays agribusiness is harmful to the environment and abusive to the animals and workers. This film examines where the food we eat is coming from, how it is being produced, and who is producing it. They film is diving into how few giant corporations are basically controlling the growth, processing and sale of food in this country. In the film they give a statistic, which states that the top 4 meat-producing companies in the country are responsible for

Best Foods Company is a multinational worldwide food company whose vision is “To be the Best International Food Company in the World.” (p.713) Best Foods set out to make some serious strides in diversifying their organization. However, there were three key diversity challenges facing them. First is that the company has very few women who have been on the career path that leads them to executive level position. This unfortunately was due to past practices. Best Foods top 150 senior managers were mostly made up of older males predominately white. At the time that Best Foods sought to change there was only one women and she was a general manager. With the lack of skill level and job experience one of the first
Another aspect that can cause quality issues is the misinterpretation of the company mission and slogan. The working slogan that is currently on the wall says “Tokyo Jane – luxury for less.” This led some of the employees to think that they were in the business of creating cheap Chinese jewelry thinking that it is okay to sale products that are cheap and of OK quality. This miscommunication of the slogan leads Tokyo Janes employees to be on a different “page” than the rest of the company. When the slogan states that they offer luxury for less it it’s supposed to mean they offer a good quality for a good
