Nordstrom’s is classified as one of the biggest U.S. department stores. Along with Sears, Macy’s, and JC Penny’s, Nordstrom manages each department in their stores as an individual buying center. Every group functions separately from one another, and is administered by a buyer who is in charge of all varieties and styles of merchandise sold. Promotions that can be used in the stores are included, as well. “The company has also benefited from a new computerized inventory system that gives buyers and salespeople the necessary data to make smarter decisions about what is needed in the stores—and what isn’t.” (Lamb, Hair, McDaniel 569).

The buyer is also able to easily determine what items to obtain and exhibit in the store by using this system.

A supply chain solution to ordering would be to invest in purchasing software set up on a network for KFF management and store managers to access at anytime. This software would allow all stores to place orders cohesively. Each store manager can see how much product is being sold in each store and compare sales.

I agree with your assessment that use of the FITT framework would have alerted leaders to the poor fit between user and technology. With this understanding, project leaders could have taken steps to alleviate stress through extra training and reassurance. However, taking your example one step further, I would venture to say that there is still a poor fit but this time more so between task and technology due to the workarounds that negate the primary reason for BCMA, patient safety (Ammenwerth, Iller, & Mahler, 2006).
