Case Study
 Levi Strauss is considered to be a major
American icon ever since its foundation in the
19th century
 yearlyrevenue made a steep decline in 2002,
after reaching its highest peak in 1996.
+ Case Study

• Levi came up with the idea of joining hands with a

wide range retailer that can make consumers’ access to
merchandise much easier which leads to more sales
and then to more revenue; it decided to team up with
Walmart.

• Walmart has some hard-to-reach requirements that

any business must meet just to be considered as a
supplier.
+
Case Study

 Levi’s has to track each pair of pants online

until it is sold through the systems with Wal-
Mart on the internet to make sure to provide
more supply when the shelves are cleared. This
e-business between the two is a clear example
of business to business commerce (B2B)
+
Case Study

 Levi’soffered the service of taking waist and

height measurements of customers in Wal-
Mart to make special-tailored jeans pants to be
delivered directly to the customers’ homes.
+
Case Study

 A servicewas the online ordering service,

which was provided through the website of
Wal-Mart. The availability of the Wal-Mart
website to the public only demonstrates
another type of e-business, business to
consumer (B2C) .
+ Case Study Analysis

• The case study findings confirm that there was a problem in

Levi’s operations involving the poor conduct of the supply
chain management.

• The management was not capable of keeping track of what

was manufactured because the use of IT and internet was
not utilized in an efficient way.

• In my opinion, the top management of Levi’s chose well

when they decided to cooperate with Wal-Mart and start
selling a new line of signature pants through Wal-Mart and
through the internet most importantly.
