About the Program
Accurate Data is the Foundational Cornerstone of Data Synchronization
Accurate data is foundational to Global Data Synchronization. To prove the point, Ahold USA, Associated Food
Stores, Kroger, Royal Ahold, SUPERVALU, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and Wegmans Food Markets, conducted The Data Accuracy
Collaboration Program in July 2006. GMA, FMI, 1SYNC and Agentrics sponsored the program.
Manufacturers and retailers agree that accurate data is foundational to Global Data Synchronization benefits.
"While 100% data accuracy is an achievable goal, Ahold is still measuring the quality of data to manage supplier
performance. Data inaccuracy is an industry problem that requires a collaborative industry solution to enable us
all to win" states Leslie Hand, director, global RFID technology, Ahold USA. (See Data Accuracy Collaboration
Website and Retailer Accurate Data Case Study).
Tracy Scott and Bruce Hawkins,Wal-Mart Stores talk with Tim Murray and Richard Nichols, Del Monte Foods, during the One-to-One Retailer / Supplier sessions.
Patrick Looby, Manager, Vendor Alliance Services, Walgreen Co., Marianne Timmons, Vice President Supply Chain and Global Business to Business, Wegmans Food Markets, and Pam Stegeman, Vice President, Supply Chain & Technology, Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) examine the retailer need for accurate data.
For retailers, accurate synchronized data provides tangible benefits and immediate savings.
For instance, at Wegmans Food Markets, accurate data:
1) saves $3.5 million annually in transportation costs:
2) speeds new items to shelf by 7 days;
3) reduces labor and inventory carrying costs by $1 million annually;
4) and provides a 40% reduction in coupon scanning rejections. (See Opening Remarks and A Retailer's Accurate Data Findings).
Terry Vavrick, Lorraine Learish, Data Synchronization Coordinator, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, And Pat Walsh, Senior Director, Industry Relations, Food
Marketing Institute (FMI) discuss the accurate data imperative for CPG manufacturers.
Mike Bargmann, Chief Logistics Officer, Wegmans Food Markets, provides and industry overview on accurate data synchronization.
For manufacturers, cleansing and maintaining the integrity of the data, while not easy, is rewarding.
(See 1) Lorraine Learish presentation, see 2) Synchronization, the Next Generation Business Partnering). "Quality data synchronization
is an on going process at The Hershey Company. We will continue to monitor for accuracy on an ongoing basis" notes Terry Vavrick,
e-business partnership manager, The Hershey Company. Editors note, via transformational business process to cleans and maintain
data accuracy, The Hershey Company has achieved 100% accurate data compliance with Wegmans Food Markets.
Cleansing the data means going back to the basics.
A good place to start is re-measuring products according to standards (see package Measurement Rules at GS1 US) and ensuring the
GTIN Allocation Rules are properly adhered to (See Bud Babcock's GTIN Allocation Rules).
Terry Vavrick, e-Business Partnership Manager, The Hershey Company,
provides the Hershey perspective on accurate data synchronization.
Accurate, synchronized data moves the industry toward the reality of an uninterrupted supply chain.
"Synchronization is foundational but the true benefits are realized when you eliminate Supply Chain disruption
in your Mission Critical business processes" Bruce Hawkins, Wal-Mart Stores. (See Uninterrupted Supply Chain).
