This report assesses the critical foundations of Wal-Mart's operational proficiency and formulates a new operations strategy for the company. It covers key aspects such as competitive priorities (cost, quality, time, and flexibility), vision and mission alignment with growth strategies, and the company's cost leadership approach. The analysis includes the operation strategy, supply chain management focusing on cost minimization, TQM initiatives for continuous improvement, JIT philosophy with vendor-managed inventory, and forecasting methods using anticipation inventory. The report identifies tasks misaligned with the operational strategy, such as inventory support during excessive demand, cross-docking issues, and minimizing inventory size, highlighting weaknesses in each. A new operations strategy is proposed, emphasizing cost minimization, quality control, reduced lead times, and flexibility, along with three new enablers: value, convenience, and appealing products. The report concludes by evaluating the pros and cons of these enablers, offering insights into enhancing Wal-Mart's operational effectiveness.
