    Retail store with thousands of different products have grown and expanded either on develop or developed countries. Due to the fact that “A” is a large discount retail store, operating on a 7-day basis, there are several problems that result from their day-to-day processes. Three main problems, such as inventory, transportation, and unnecessary motion problems were found after the interview with retail store´s manager was conducted. Furthermore, the report is logically set out into 5 different processes, including process selection, description of current process, process improvement, process verification, and implementing-monitoring. From this report, some efficiency strategies have designed to overcome these main problems.
