Scenario Problem Statement and Performance Elements
Wal-Mart is an international discount retail store. Wal-Mart Corporation was
founded in 1962 (as were K-Mart and Target) in Rogers, Arkansas, USA.
Technology plays a big part in keeping Wal-Mart customer-focused. Sales are
recorded instantly and the information is shared so that restocking is initiated. As
a result, Wal-Mart distribution centers (and, consequently the stores) very rarely
run out of popular products. Historically, Wal-Mart stores were built within one
day’s drive of any distribution center.
