  • Taxonomy: a taxonomy is a scheme of classification used for an organization’s products.

Application:

  • Example:

    Let’s take for instance a can of the energy drink “Red Bull”, which is made available in its base unit (1 can), a box of 30, a carton of 35 and so on. It is important for the retailer to have the capability to handle these units that are of different quantities.
