5. Does it appear that Father Daniel Mary has set definite objectives and performance targets for achieving his vision? He haven´t set definite objectives but he understands his current production capacity. For example he wants to purchase the Irma Lake Ranch; therefore he needs to generate enough profits from the operations of Mystic Monk Coffee. The MMC had earned nearly $75,000 during its first year of operation.
This is not enough man hours for the company to produce and market enough coffee to meet the target. By using out sources Father Daniel Mary would be able to get more man hours to produce, market, and distribute enough of Mystic Monk Coffee to meet a target market of one million dollars per year. I would also suggest that Father Daniel Mary start up a foundation for a building fund, this would help raise more money for the new monastery. As most churches set up a building fund to help raise money to build new churches, Father Daniel Mary can set up a foundation for the Carmelite monks monastery. The Carmelite’s were started by a foundation, it is more likely that this foundation would contribute a great deal to helping father Daniel Mary with building the new monastery.
By the end of 2005, Starbucks owned more than 10,000 stores and roasted 2.3 percent of the world’s coffee. To support such a high growth rate, Starbucks should ensure a sustainable supply of high-quality coffee beans through well-rounded supply chain to meet company’s future success. Moreover, from a sustainable point of view, Starbucks is facing a tremendous threat – global climate change. The same forests that produce the world’s best coffee and sustain millions of farmers also extract and store vast amounts of carbon dioxide. In fact, when they are destroyed, these forests release dangerous greenhouse gas into our atmosphere.
They are going to purchase a larger roaster, that can roast 130 pounds per hour, in order to produce more coffee but no where in the case is there anything about how much should be produced a day or any target number of sales in order to reach their goal of 8.9 million. I believe he needs to take time to sit down (they do this at least two hours a day) and map out a definite set of objectives and targets so they can put a time line to how long it will take them to be able to purchase the new ranch. As of right now they have nothing but a
His vision is to recreate Mount Carmel in the Rocky Mountains and transform the small brotherhood of 13 monks living in a small home used as makeshift rectory into a 500-acre monastery that would include accommodations for 30 monks, a Gothic church, a convent for Carmelite nuns, a retreat center for lay visitors and a hermitage. What is his vision for Mystic Monk Coffee? He does not have a clear vision for Mystic Monk Coffee because a vision statement should answer the basic question, “What do they want to become?” and strives to achieve in the long term. In this case in-point, the monastery is hoping to rely on Mystic Monk Coffee to make the monastery vision a reality by” turning the coffee into land” What is the mission of the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming? The mission of the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming is to dedicate to a life of prayer and worship to God.

He wishes to have Catholics “use their Catholic coffee dollar for Christ and his Catholic church.” Mystic Monk Coffee is sold online to a target market of Catholic followers who wish to support the mission of the monastery. Father Prior’s mission is stated as “We beg your prayers, your friendship and your support that this vision, our vision may be refounded in Wyoming’s Rockies for the glory of God.” He hopes to someday relocate The Carmelite Monks of Wyoming to a remote location that is better suited for their capabilities. Father Prior hopes that between donations and coffee sales with their Mystic Monk Coffee, they will be able to raise enough money to fund this relocation. To accomplish these tasks, the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming need to utilize their capabilities and resources. However, in order to fully accomplish this task, they need to invest in a more proficient coffee maker in order to supply enough bags of coffee.

This results in higher raw material prices, as those cocoa beans are traded at a premium price, and also limits Black & Red’s purchasing flexibility. Black & Red has signed multi-year contracts with several cocoa-growing cooperatives in Bolivia, which stipulate that Black & Red agrees to buy the entire harvest at a fixed premium of $150 per tonne over the world market price, and never less than $1,700 per tonne. After harvesting the cocoa beans, they are fermented, dried and fumigated locally before being sold.
