More and more products and product variations are being developed for consumers, often with ever shorter product life times. There is also increasing pressure to reduce the time between the development, manufacture and final delivery of these products. These changes put enormous strain on the food services upstream supply chain.
For many years you have used GS1 standards to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your supply chain to the operators or consumer. Now you can use these same standards and transform your upstream supply chain to your own suppliers.
Implementing GS1 standards for operators in the food service upstream supply chain has proven benefits:
- reduction of inventory levels of up to 40%
- reduction of administrative costs by 20% for the manufacturer and 5% for the supplier
- reduction in lead times by up to 40%
- reduction of production costs by up to 6%
- service levels approaching 100%
