Wal-Mart is an example of supply chain management at its finest. By keeping prices low and their shelves well stocked, Wal-Mart has become the leading retail business in the United States. One of many reasons Wal-Mart is able to offer such low prices and maintain a constant level of inventory is through a legendary inventory replenishment system triggered by point-of-sale purchases that is the best in the industry. We are interested in the study of this system, its influence and effects on the business, the business objectives served from using it, the advantages and disadvantages of this system... II.
