Dell transformed the way people bought and were able to customise computers, Wal-Mart and Tesco use their huge buying power and logistical skills to ensure the supply and stock management of their stores is finely honed. Manufacturers like Toyota and logistics companies like UPS make sure that materials and finished goods are where they are needed precisely when they are needed, and technology companies like Nokia and HP use supply chain management to customise their products and stimulate continuous product innovation.
