Emergency provision is important in coca because of the Health and safety at working Act 1974. This is required because it’s a safety mangers and training that gives the employees a knowledge in cause of emergency on the buildings such as if there is a fire they where is there assembly point. This means the evacuation training bust be give to employees and instruction should be given about who they have to act in case of emergency on the building.

 Insurance on the building is very important specially for coca co0la because its one of the biggest company and has its branches all around the world. If they don’t have a insurance then they might lose millions in case there is fire, flooding, earthquake, damage on the equipment, theft from the building, leaking and many others.

Technology Resources

Whereas in technological resources it includes intellectual property, accumulated experience and skills, software licences and protection via patents and copy right Technological now a day is more than just equipment such as computer hardware, modem and router and monitor.

Intellectual propertyis a right that allows people to own ideas and have right concerning what happens to these ideas. There are five different type of intellectual property.

·         Designs

·         Drawings

·         Text

·         Music

·         Videos

Accumulated experience and skillsit means that the people have gain there experience by working in the similar field and when a person has come across lots of different issues to do with the job. Experience is on of the key in coca cola because the more experience the person more better he/she can work and they are more likely to do a good job. Coca cola insure they keep there experience people buy giving them lost of different facilities and also by raising there pay.

Software licenceis a licence give by the designer of the software to the people who he/she has sold. Licence may allow installing on one computer are limited numbers of computers or even whole site so everyone can use the software. In bigger companies like coca cola designer designs the software that is required but the coca cola and the designer gives the licence to coca cola so they can use it but coca cola cannot resale the software to any  others company’s. 

Protection via patents and copyright it when someone copy your ideas or designs which is made by you or u company. It is an important for coca cola and it’s also expansive and difficult one to use. it also a legal right to stop someone else copying or using part of their invitation with out there permission. The protection via patents and copyright is give so the developer and manufacture  they has enough time to develop their ideas and work on so it comes out good rather than worrying about someone is going to steal their ideas and rushing for production. In coca cola it is important to protect their ideas because they have a different taste in there drink and to protect their recipe coca cola has few people who know about their recipe so no one will copy their ideas.         

Physical Resources

A physical resource includes raw materials such as bottles, cans and plastic bottles. Coca cola uses all of these materials because it can be use again and again so they coca cola don’t have to spend extra money on production. They can either save the money or use in to make coca cola a better place to work for the employees. They keep all the bottles, can’s and plastic bottles in the warehouse or close to the coca cola production factory or might even be in the same place or a building its because  coca cola  being efficient as in they are saving money and time. As a result they will also save money on transport coca from factory to warehouse. Were as if they have ware house and factory in a same building then they don’t have to employee lots of people in different factories. For example if they have 20 people in one factory and 20 in another then they will have 40 employees in 2 different location but if they have warehouse and factory in same place they can work with 35 people because they will get a help from factory people as well. So they will save money from 5 employees and save money from building a warehouse in a different location as well.

Ware house for coca cola is when they stock coca cola products then its passes on from factory. Factory and warehouse would be in one building because once the factory has finished with the bottling they can pass it on to ware house to be stock up and by having ware houses and factory together it will give employees lost of time to work with the stacking the coke or dividing the coke which has to be deliver to the shops, wholesale or bigger supper market like Tesco, ASDA and many others.
