- Boston Retail Company Boston Retail Company (clothing chain) is working with several suppliers of new and second-hand clothes. Store managers have the freedom to decide which supplier(s) they wants to work with and the amount and types of clothes they want to order for their stores in each season. The prices charged by each supplier are based on the price per piece of cloth and the total number of clothes ordered. A store manager first places the order with a supplier.

After the test, the employees store and display the clothes in their store. When the clothes have been stored, staff needs to handle (e.g., check, iron, fold) each piece of the clothes so that they are in good shape and conditions. At the end of every season, the store needs to get rid of the clothes that are out of season…arrow_forwardMake or Buy - Home Grocery (HG) provides home delivery of groceries.
