Supply Chain Costs and the Robinson-Patman Act

This article is about the Robinson- Patman Act; which prohibits sellers from setting different prices for competing purchasers of like commodities, except when justified based on differences in volumes or cost of sale. This article also talks about supply chains and how if a large supplier sells the same product to Sam’s Club and a small grocer, the manufacturer could offer a lower cost to Sam’s Club. The whole point of a supply chain is for companies to make smarter decisions day to day.

1.Do you think the Robinson – Patman Act is a good act?

2. Do you think supply chains are discriminating?
