From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: "In a chain of conventional self-service stores, th e most cost-efficient method of replenishing store inventories, by far, is by th e "case", that is, to supply stores with the shipping cases of products received from supplying manufacturers. The alternative is to replenish by the "each" or "eaches", i.e. to supply stores with individual product units in less-than-case quantities, but that method is so much more costly that universally the primary unit of replenishment in large-format stores like supermarkets and hypermarkets is by the cases shipped in pallet shipments.
