The Cardiovascular System Quiz to Start Us Off

I am thinking that at the beginning of each section, we could start off with a quiz and see where the discussion takes us. Ok, here we go and remember, all of the questions will be either true or false and you MUST include an explanation to earn full credit:

• The main function of the cardiovascular system is to maintain the function of the heart.
• The aorta is the largest artery in the body.
• The major portion of the heart is called the pericardium, a thick, membrane sac that supports and protects the heart.
• In one day, the heart pushes the body’s supply of 6 quarts or so of blood through the blood vessels over 1000 times meaning that is actually pumps about 6000 quarts of blood in a single day.
• The heart is a double pump and pumps in two different areas of the body.

Using the Starbucks website and Robbins et al. (2017), go to the Starbucks website

Links to an external site.. locate the “For Business” section, and access the “Suppliers” link. Evaluate how the requirements and standards to become a Starbucks’ supplier.

Using the transformation process (Ferrell et al., Chapter 8), explain how Starbucks serves its customers, from inputs to outputs. Conduct additional research as needed.

From what I gather, Starbucks utilizes a set of standards for its suppliers and its operations in order to ensure proper service to their customers. The transformation process used to ensure this service starts with standards which range from supplier code of conduct, to supply chain security standards, to responsible sourcing standards, and operational standards to name a few.

The inputs in this process would be coffee beans, other food items that are needed to produce pastries sold by Starbucks, the needed finances to operate the organization, as well as the human capital necessary.

The transformation begins as the raw materials such as coffee beans are ground for use or for sale in packaging at Starbucks physical locations. The locations themselves are an integral part of the process because of the equipment used for preparing the products to be sold, as well as the ambiance it provides as a comfortable place for coffee and conversation.

The output of these processes ultimately are the teas, coffees, cakes and other pastries served to the customers on a daily basis.

Starbucks could not be as successful as they are without the standards they set forth for themselves and their suppliers in my opinion.
