Manufacturers play a major role across the value chain by possessing definitive control over the market as they monitor product pricing. They habitually command pricing on a customer-by-customer basis rather than on a distributor-by-distributor basis.

Retailers are the last component of MRO value chain. Procurements from home improvement outlets such as Home Depot, Lowes, and Sears Hardware are often considered to fall within the MRO category. Retailers offer access to numerous general products; however, they cannot always fulfill the requirement for specialty MRO products. In addition, several retailers do not offer any substantial corporate discount programs and charge paying premium (retail) rates.
