Order pattern and quantities should be optimized in bilateral discussions. Alternatively 1 mixed pallet can replace a stack of uniform pallets. no remarks from ECR community 6

7. © 2010 GS1 © 2012 GS1 2.1. Small and valuable items Decision to be taken: do we accept the proposal of the working group 7

8. © 2010 GS1 © 2012 GS1 2.2. Update SSCC labeling in other sectors Can we extend the manual to non-food products? Request supported by Colruyt, Delhaize and Carrefour Documentation on advantages for suppliers was sent to BABM Input from BABM non-food members Decision to be taken: next step? 8

9. © 2010 GS1 © 2012 GS1 2.3. How to stack display pallets? 9 Request from retailers to stack display pallets back to back. This requires manual picking procedures For some suppliers (that use automated picking) this is a huge cost investment Proposal: place displays back to back when picking is done manually. Bilateral negotiations for automated picking. Decision to be taken: adapt the ECR Recommendations accordingly?

11. © 2008 GS1 © 2012 GS1 2.5. Speed docking Belgilux Evaluation with all organizing suppliers, 3PL’s, VIB, GS1/ECR and Caroz 3/09: A lot of variance in cycle times  difficult to plan Average weighted cycle time of the winner is1,5h versus average time slot = 1h DC with more full trucks = lower average cycle time Total cycle time for a truck with 15 pallets or 32 pallets is almost the same Different definition of time slots 11

12. © 2008 GS1 © 2012 GS1 2.6. Speed docking & SSCC/DESADV See pre-read 4 Are cycle times linked to using SSCC and DESADV? This data is not readily available – will need to be collected Focus on top 10 retailers and wholesalers Cost: 12.750€ Decision to be taken: do we invest in this research? Adaptations to the proposal? 12
