Good practice in B2B relationships • The European Institutions and several Member States raised the existence of problems associated with the food supply chain and agreed that solutions to these problems should be found • The outcomes of the multi-stakeholder dialogue are in the form of a set of principles of good practice and a list of examples of unfair and fair practices in vertical trading relationships. • Framework for the implementation and enforcement of the principles of good practice in vertical relations in the food supply chain.

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), Quality Master Data Management and Data Synchronization Thanks to our sponsors:


What is EDI? By definition: ‘Transfer of structured data, by agreed message standards, from one computer application to another, by electronic means, with a minimum of human intervention’


Classic EDI and XML


Key learnings from previous EDI meetings • Start using EDI like email or Internet – it’s here! • Quick win if well implemented • Governments (Public sector) in general is very similar to big retailer (GS1 Denmark case: all invoices addressed to the public sector should be only in EDI) • For retail and suppliers EDI is core enabler for efficient replenishment • Use ID standards (GTIN, GLN) for EDI routing and replacing product/party details on every message Learn more: http://www.ecr-baltic.org/en/publications/ediseminar-presentations/


EDI benefits (Invoic sample) outbound

Inbound paper vs eInvoice


ECR EDI working group challanges: Telema sample


EDI business model for CP&R 1. Product (GTIN) and Party (GLN) Masterdata: PRICAT, PARTIN

2. Electronic Orders EDI: ORDERS and ORDRSP

6. Planning and Forecasting messages

3. EDI: DESADV (Despatch advise) + corresponding Logistic Label (SSCC).

5. Invoicing. EDI: INVOIC (copy to bank in case of factoring). Wire confirmation from retailer

4. Receiving Advise. EDI: RECADV


Definitions: Master Data • Parties master data uniquely identifued by GLN (Global Location Numbers) • Prices • Item Master Data (products) is a set of data, which describes the specifications and structures of each item involved in Supply Chain Processes. Each set of data can uniquely be identified by a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) by GS1 definition

What is data synchronisation? Every company has a database filled with master data about the products they make, or sell, or buy But when one company needs to change any bit of information in their database or add a new item to it, another database may not be up to date anymore‌!

65


Does it cost to have synchronized quality master data! • Yes, but it will cost you more without it! • And it is not just data pool fee,...


Incorrect master data generate additional costs An AT Kearney study revealed the following industry costs in connection with incorrect item master data: • Correcting catalog errors costs $60-$80 per error. • 30% of item data in retail catalogs is incorrect. • Each item requires appr. 30 minutes of manual cleansing per year. • Every invoice error costs $40-$400 to reconcile. • 60% of all invoices have errors, and 43% of all invoices result in deductions. • The average product roll-out takes six weeks. • Percent of sales lost due to inaccurate data is 3.5%. • The net result is $40B lost in supply chain inefficiencies each year.

• Common Baltic EUR pallets assessment cards v1.0 • Latvian temporary version with industry association LPUF and LPTA v2.1 • The best solution is a choice: EUR (UIC), EPAL, CHEP, One way pallets


Next challanges:

• Dissemination of EUR Pallet assesment cards in all Baltics as common tool to assess EUR pallets for exchange (exchange criteria) • EPAL and UIC (EUR) split. Two pallet systems? Are they exchangable 1:1 and of the same quality? Changes in Pallet assessment cards


Pallet is a valuable asset, please treat it with proper care! http://www.ecr-baltic.org/en/workinggroups/pallets-quality-assessmentworking-group/

INITIAL VISION


RTI recommendations (standard)


Dairy crates

THANK YOU! Thanks to our sponsors:


Baltic RTI standardisation II step


I step & history 2008-2012 • First attempt on 2008 with no result. Not common understanding between suppliers. No suitable solution for dairies. • New RTI unification initiative formulated by ECR 2010 together with retail, suppliers and service providers. • 2012 November after deep analyses, tests and negotiations between Baltic suppliers and retailers the RTI dimesions for the Baltic market was agreed. • 6 service providers have offered its solutions. One solution provider offer is suitable and accepted by all retailers.


II step 2013 -2014 • Common working process between retail and suppliers: – Data exchange and tare saldo keeping – Keeping balance of tare and returning right amounts – Cleaning the crates. Washing possibility for producers who do not have washing machine – Rent/pooled tare is never for sale to avoid “black market”

• Training people to get max efficiency of loading process • RFID possibilities for supply chain • Further supply chain improvement according to best practice


How to get the best out of it?! • Calculate you everyday direct and indirect cost in detail • Challenge current system and partners (ie. transport companies) • Discussion with retail (products in different crate types, circle times etc.) • Reduce circle time • Start to use RFID
