Critical analysis of on-shelf availability in supply chain and operations management

To write up your findings in a report (2,000 words) about on-shelf availability in UK supermarkets. What to do: 1. Go to a supermarket of your choice (UK only) and make notes on any items that are out of stock. 2. Compare the findings from the first supermarket with a competing supermarket. Are the same products out of stock in both? 3. Conduct an analysis of your results where you consider the issues in the supply chain that could cause these products to be out of stock. 4. Discuss at least four tools or techniques that could be used by supermarkets to address the issues identified above and therefore provide a higher level of on-shelf availability.
