Question

Answer 1

Pull supply chain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The strategy that Walmart utilizes is the pull supply chain. The supply chain starts in the factory, where the product is manufactured, and ends at the point where the product is available to the customer. The supply chain strategy determines when a product will be manufactured, and delivered. In the pull supply chain strategy, it is the customer's demand who determines when the process will start.
