The strategy adopted by the Qwik Process Inc. is called Forward Integration.
Forward Integration is a business strategy that involves the direct distribution of the product or service to the final client.
It is also known as the vertical integration. It eliminates the layer between the two parties in a supply chain distribution.
An accurate example of Forward Integration is when a farmer sells its crops at a local grocery store, rather than to a distribution center. Thus eliminating the distribution center layer from the supply chain hierarchy.
This strategy is very useful if the middle layer is creating problems for any side in the chain.
