To adapt the logistics system to the requirements of the automatic identification system being implemented in the NETTO chain, it is necessary, among other things, to introduce the marking of logistics units (pallets) with GS1 logistics labels by the chain’s suppliers.
In order to guarantee an efficient and cost-effective implementation of logistics labels, in accordance with the standards developed by GS1, the NETTO retail chain, together with the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing – the national GS1 organization, organized a meeting for the most important NETTO chain suppliers on June 2, 2009. During the meeting, titled “Implementation of the GS1 logistics label in the NETTO retail chain supply chain,” consultants from the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing presented methods for implementing logistics labels according to the individual needs of specific suppliers, the implementation schedule and costs, and the theoretical foundations of how the labels function. At the end, opportunities for obtaining external funding for the purpose of implementing the GS1 logistics label project were also presented.
The meeting of NETTO chain suppliers took place at the headquarters of the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing.
