PROCESS SELECTIONS

Unlike other stores Gamestop does not produce many different kinds of products. They produce mainly games, gaming systems and accessories. In other words they use a Batch flow system; where each type of product goes through a different process in order to achieve a finished product.

The best way to puchase a game at Gamestop is to preorder it, because they only have a limited quantity of each particular product or game at the store; in other words its first come first serve. All their products are Made-to-Stock (MTS.

Gamestop standerdizes itself in the product-process matrix as a high volume, low variety, and high priced.

Factors that influence thier process selection depends upon the demand of the customers and the popularity of the products that they produce. Other factors depend upon the costs of producing the product or good.

Mass Customization is not possible for Gamestop, due to its low variety of products and the fact that thier products cannot be customized in any way.
