Structured questionnaires as well as interview guide were used to gather primary data while secondary data was extracted from annual reports, books and journals. Pearson Correlation analysis was used in testing the relationship that relates to secondary data and primary data. The result of the study findings indicated that Just-In-Time has a moderate weak positive significant effect on customer satisfaction of Shoprite (U) Ltd; that Periodic Review Inventory has a moderate strong positive significant effect on customer satisfaction of Shoprite (U) Ltd and that ABC model has a weak significant positive effect on customer satisfaction of Shoprite (U) Ltd.
