EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Unifine  Richardson  is  a  Canadian  food   manufacturer  company.  The  company  operates  on  a  three-shifts  basis  operations.  There  are  110  people  employed  in  the  company.  Company mainly  produces  following  products:-

  • Salad  dressings
  • Ice  cream  toppings
  • Sauces
  • Syrup

Honey  is  the  main  raw  material  of  the  company,  that  it  used  to  purchase  from  their  single-sourced  supplier,  Harrington  Honey.  Company  purchased  approximately  one  million  pound  honey  annually  at  a  price  of  $1.08  per  pound.  This  purchasing  represented  3-5%  of  total  expenditure  of  the  company.  Unifine’s  main  customer  is  a  retail  operator,  accounting  for  80%  of  its  total  sales.  Unifine  used  to  sell  a  blend  of  50-50  of  Canadian  and  Chinese  honey.

In  2002,  company  faced  some  crisis  when  CFIA  rejected  export  of  Chinese  honey,  because  it  found  traces  of  an  antibiotic  in  Chinese  honey.  Company  heavily  relied  on  Chinese  honey  as  its  single-sourced  honey  supplier,  Harrington  Honey  used  to  import  honey  from  China.

The  case  study  is  basically  all  about  the  crisis  that  company  faced  and  some  of  the  alternative  ways  that  company  could  utilize  in  order  to  deal  with  the  situation.
