[QUOTE="Fred's Myth, post: 3990400, member: 55587"] Wal-mart's success wasn't simply due to its buying power (not unique), or that they discounted their prices (not unique), but that their competitive advantage lay in the recognition that warehousing products for any length of time negatively impacted their bottom line. They perfected the system of NOT warehousing merchandise, but utilizing warehouses as merchandise distribution centers. They keep their inventory in transit and out of the warehouse as much as possible. [URL="http://panmore.com/walmart-inventory-management"]Walmart’s Inventory Management - Panmore Institute[/URL] They have also perfected the art of contracting with small suppliers, forcing them to expand to keep Wal-Mart's business, then strong-arming them with the threat of losing that business if they don't lower their prices.
