Self Assessment or the process of evaluating oneself refers to the way in which one reviews and analyzes the credibility and value of their own work or personality. Although this field might be referred and categorized under the specialization of psychology, it is important to recognize the importance of this in our daily life and in the various tasks we indulge in on a regular basis. Grading oneself on the basis of different aspects will help one determine where they stand and how smoothly they fit into a criteria.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) as defined by Eli Goldratt (Bernardi, 2010) has a multitude of uses throughout retailing in general and in food and electronics product distribution specifically. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how the TOC makes significant contributions to the areas of Supply Chain Management (SCM) for food and grocery distribution in addition to high tech electronics. The emergence of the Internet as a viable supply chain platform and retailing channel is also leading to a complete re-ordering of the grocery and high technology industries based on TOC-based contributions and insights (Hofacker, 2008). The first and most significant area of contribution is in the area of Supply Chain Management (SCM). The TOC is the basis fo many of the logistics strategies and systems within Kroger and Circuit City and many of the businesses in their industries (International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, 2002). For Kroger and food grocery and retailing companies in this industry, the shelf life of many of their most valuable products are dependent on how well they manage replenishment and continual planning of new perishables purchases (International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, 2002). How well a grocery company manages the perishable products it sells at often the highest margins possible will very often dictate the level of profitability achieved over the long-term as well (Bernardi, 2010). For Kroger and other businesses competing in this industry the ability to accurately predict demand with forecasting and automated replenishment systems is in large part predicated on the foundational elements of TOC (Gupta, Boyd, 2008). Getting forecasting and replenishment right for grocery retailers is a continual challenge however as the velocity of sales can change drastically based on customer preferences and seasonality (International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, 2002). Being able to manage this aspect of variation and have it reflected back to suppliers, many of them several layers deep into their supply chains, is a continual process of improvement (Bernardi, 2010). Supply chains for perishables underscore the value of TOC in terms of optimizing inventory and mitigating loss due to spoilage brought about by not being in step with market requirements as closely as possible from an operations management standpoint (Gupta, Boyd, 2008). This same dynamic holds true for electronics distributors and retailers, who comprise in large part the most profitable areas of the high tech value chain globally. The need for having a very clear idea of inventory exposure and costs used as the basis of operations management strategies are critical to these companies staying profitable (Gupta, Boyd, 2008). The TOC serves as the theoretical foundation for these and many other industries in getting their operations management strategies to be as effective and profitable as possible.
