The primary goal of supermarket chains is to have the correct products on the shelves. They want to give bigger shelf space to faster moving items rather than slow moving items.\n\nSo, typically, these supermarket chains would use DBMS and datamining to discover which items are moving fast and which items need to be removed from their shelves.\n\nDataMining can also be used to discover which suppliers deliver on time, which items get the most damage, which items are frequently bought together (e.g. toothpaste with toothbrushes). You name it, and data mining can be used to get it.

It's actually a slang phrase...which I think means something is so nice and new and different  that its literally right off the store shelf. (It started in reference to clothing, with the hanger being the hook)

That is a broad question but perhaps it means what market a certain item/product can be classified as?  That's my self-explanatory answer.

The main reason behind Just In Time delivery system is to eliminate the need for a wharehouse. This reduces the overall cost, with the trailers becoming the "moving wharehouse". They move the product directly from the manufacture to the car prodcution line.\nToyota was the first large company to sucessfully implement this system. To my knowledge it has not been successfully implemented in India, but may be used in a small way.\n\nProductivity plays a part in that engineers determine how many pieces of each part are needed to build a certain number of cars. The number of parts needed determines how many truck loads have to be delivered from the supplier to the plant and at what times during hte day in order to keep the procduciton line running.\n\nProductivity is kept at a constant number with all the differnt elements making, transporting and using that same number.\nHope this helps.

Wholesalers provide the warehousing and distribution link between producers and retailers.  To the producer, the wholesaler offers a steady flow of manufactured goods and the infrastructure to bring those goods to retail.  The wholesaler may also offer services at retail that retailers may require such as merchandising, stock rotation, returns and allowances, credit terms, etc.\n\nFor the retailer, wholesaler presents a convenient interface to getting the goods they want on their shelves.  The retailer may not have the space, working capital or expertise to be shipped directly from the manufacturer.  The wholesaler can maximize the retailers working capital by providing them with a wider range of goods at smaller quantities.  The wholesaler should also be more reliable in logistics i.e. getting the goods to the retailer on a more predictable basis.  This will shrink the planning and order cycle for the retailer.  The wholesaler may in some instances provide services in the retail location as mentioned above.\n\nBeing a wholesaler requires significant capital investment which the manufacturer and retailer might not want to bear.  Having the facility, inventory working capital and in some instances, fleet infrastructure are inefficient capital expenditures for a significant number of producers and retailers and as such, the wholesaler fills a neeed and should be able to profit from his efforts.\n\nMichael Casey CPA\nBusiness Consultant\n608-271-0068

Vertical integration refers to the structure of the business operation meaning that the company controls all manufacturing aspects of its particular product.  A good example would be a vertically integrated oil company like Exxon Mobil that does everything from explore for oil, drill for it, ship it, refine it and sell it.  The company controls every aspect of the supply chain from getting the oil out of the ground and into your gas tank.  If you're asking about a "utility" as in the utility bills you pay, then I would guess that the phone company is the best example.  Verizon, for example, builds the network by putting wires into the ground and into your house and then it operates the network and charges you for it.
