2) The company is focusing on two customer segments - professional contractors and multicultural customers - through programs like product knowledge certification for associates, understanding each group's purchasing patterns, and targeted marketing.

This document discusses Home Depot's supply chain transformation efforts from 2007 to 2008. It outlines goals of improving product availability, inventory management, and developing an optimal distribution network. Home Depot implemented regional distribution centers (RDCs) to better aggregate store orders, improve in-stock levels, and reduce supply chain costs. The RDCs were shown to simplify operations and had benefits including increased gross margins and improved inventory turns that could generate $1.5 billion in additional cash.
