Logistical cooperation between suppliers and retailers in the food often comes down to the introduction of EDI Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI). Yet the IT side only half the story, appeared during the seminar Create new opportunities through collaboration in Food.
On Thursday, September 12 hosted IT services provider Pink Elephant with software Descartes congressional Create prekladac new opportunities through collaboration in Food. Both companies have extensive knowledge of ERP and supply chain software for the food industry, showed in their presentations. Others also experienced people from the food industry, namely logistics consultant Katja Heemskerk and Charles van den Heuvel Chainfood, gave tips on how information technology can more efficiently by using (together) works. DESADV project Jumbo
That cooperation between suppliers and retailers will look beyond technique showed presenting Jumbo Supermarkets on the introduction of the electronic packing '(DESADV). More Prior to delivery of the supplier's prekladac ERP sends a message to the ERP Jumbo to inform the articles that are coming out. Retailer Advantage: upon receipt knows the ERP with a scan which items have arrived and can the shipment prekladac without prekladac delay directly to his next destination. A supplier may, through the DESADV may also want to take to the branches of the shipment is intended (cross-docking) and which packages are used.
The above sounds like a logistic two-three of which you would think that every vendor will implement. Jubilant Michelle Verberne, project DESADV at Jumbo Supermarkets, now know better. "We wanted to move to four hundred prekladac suppliers DESADV make this year, but we are currently only at thirty. Unfortunately. In one way or another we can not convince suppliers that also offers the benefits for them. "
There arises a fierce debate in the hall in Maarssen in which suppliers are represented. "No wonder we are reluctant," says one. "We need to invest in new IT systems, while the retailer is reaping the benefits." Verberne parried by pointing out the benefits that can have. Suppliers DESADV this criticism Drivers can save a lot of time on the dock and quickly to the next customer. Suppliers can also use the DESADV protocol internally to accelerate their internal processes. "It allows them short, able to deliver on time and increase their reliability, that is what every supplier should be excited," concludes Verberne. prekladac VMI project prekladac EBU and AH
A collaboration that goes beyond the exchange of DESADV messages is that between cream cheese manufacturer EBU and Albert Heijn. This is called a shared warehouse set up, which ERUs (VMI) concept is responsible for the pick stocks Albert prekladac Heijn. Using a Vendor Managed Inventory Manager Planning & IT, Wim Brick, explained at the conference prekladac matter what changes in the internal message flow and in communication prekladac with logistics service Bakker Logistics needed to function optimally. Process
"We use the DESADV code for the logon internal shipments towards the shared warehouse. From the shared warehouse inventory prekladac we receive daily reports back, both on our own resources as those of Albert Heijn. "
If he comes to speak about the business benefits shows that were initially at Albert Heijn. The availability of Gold stock tubs and other EBU products is guaranteed prekladac without the storekeepers AH there is some effort required to deliver. Yet Brick has estimated that the EBU also has advantage of himself. "Some costs are higher, including through extra weft and storage operations, but that does not compensate for the lower transport everything now to the central warehouse in Zeewolde should be shared."
Thus gave seminar prekladac in Maarssen a nice overview of possible forms of cooperation between suppliers and retailers. Conclusion: IT support is complex but ... is not a bottleneck, or for any cooperation than the willingness to invest it.
