All internal systems, processes, external stakeholder management initiatives, supply chain management, sourcing, quality management and merchandising initiatives in WalMart revolve around the fulfillment of the expectations they create with their customers daily. Their Low Price Everyday (LPED) value proposition permeates their entire value chain, galvanizing it around the mission of delivering exceptional value on a consistent basis to customers. The mission and vision of WalMart rely on LPED as the catalyst and unifying force across their large, diverse corporate culture. WalMart is known for also being the most advanced and skilled high volume retailer in the use of analytics, Business Intelligence (BI), Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Process Re-engineering (BPR). WalMart measures the impact of continual process and system performance on the fulfillment of their LPED pledge to customers, often relying in customer satisfaction and psychographic metrics to ensure they continually meet and exceed customer expectations (Wal-Mart Investor Relations, 2012). The mission statement of WalMart is "to help people save money so they can live better" and this serves as a galvanizing force in unifying analytics, BI, reporting and continued analysis of improvements for the company (Mcginn, 2009) (Wal-Mart Investor Relations, 2012). The vision of WalMart is centered on extending the purchasing power of the middle-income and lower middle-income consumers in their core markets (Wal-Mart Investor Relations, 2012). The reliance on analytics, BI, BPM and BPR and many other forms of metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) are all aligned to this vision of giving those customers who rely on WalMart to help them make ends meet more and more value over time. WalMart has insight into how their pricing directly affects the quality of those individuals and families that rely on them the most. Their most loyal segment, the Price Value Shopper, at 16% of their customer base, visits the store will over 20 times a month, has a per capita income of $47,000 and generates more profitability than any other customer segment Walmart tracks (Frazier, 2006). WalMart also knows from their psychographic and demographic research that the majority of the price Value Shopper segment are women who are often have the role of spouse, mother, and part-time or even full-time employee as well (Wal-Mart Investor Relations, 2012). Time and money are the two commodities this customer base has the least of and WalMart orchestrates their vision and mission statement accordingly. Analyzing a decade of filings Walmart has made in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the basis of the market segmentation analysis shown in Figure 1 (Wal-Mart Investor Relations, 2012). The role of the Price Value Shopper is evident from the analysis; they are by far the most loyal and profitable customer base the company has, and their vision and mission are orchestrated to deliver value to them on a consistent basis.
