Given Walmart’s massive scale, it’s easier for it to save big money by making little changes that have an impact.

Now, after creating a lighter-weight version of the stepping stool that’s much easier to handle, Walmart is doing a “much better job” of packing trailers, McMillon said. Good enough to save the company millions of dollars annually
