ECR Polska (Efficient Consumer Response) serves as a neutral platform for cooperation. It brings together retailers, distributors, and manufacturers, as well as solution and service providers (IT, logistics, data). It primarily offers its members the opportunity to exchange experiences and collaborate to increase efficiency throughout the value chain.
The Supply Forum is one of the most active working groups operating within the Association, bringing together logistics managers who define priorities for supply chain improvements.
A significant part of the meeting will be devoted to issues of transport process optimization and supply chain sharing. Participants of the conference will have the opportunity to learn about the results of the international KASSETTS project, implemented in Poland by the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing in Poznań, as part of the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme and co-financed by the ERDF. The goal of the KASSETTS project is to rationalize selected transport processes and logistics activities, as well as to increase the competitiveness of SMEs and environmental protection by creating a European network of logistics coordinators using ICT tools. The results of the project group’s work are very optimistic, which meeting participants will have the chance to see for themselves. Furthermore, the topic of unloading efficiency in networks will be expanded upon. There will also be much discussion about intermodal transport in FMCG distribution and new charges in domestic transport. Participants will also discuss joint demand forecasting and supply planning.
