2.3. How to stack display pallets?

•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?

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
