How to Improve Performance Together? As a result of this workshop – which builds upon the earlier presentation – you will : • Gauge the extent to which preventing material waste from occurring in the first place should be more firmly on your agenda • Use the evidence provided to engage colleagues and trade partners to improve end-to-end waste performance • Identify actions to truly engage others, embed waste elimination disciplines into day-to-day operations and sustain low waste • Adapt the methods proven elsewhere and apply them in the Baltic States

Food Supply Chain Waste Root Causes 1. Food and Packaging waste is created between suppliers and retailers
Root Cause Analysis – Food Waste
130. Waste may not be managed systematically across the supply chain
2. Products exceeding their shelf life will be wasted
132. Waste is not measured consistently
46. Product rejected by mainstream retailers can sometimes be wasted (e.g. own brand)
90. Product recalls create waste
110. Packaging waste arises along the chain 120. Product gets damaged or spoilt along the supply chain
45. Short shelf-life products have been increasing
33. Product stock can often exceed demand
100. Responsibility for managing waste is not clear in many organisations
41. Fresh products tend to have short shelf-lives
21. Forecast are often inaccurate
32. Retailers and manufactures don’t have confidence on each others’ data
47. Own brand products cannot be sold to alternative customers
70. Products with shorter shelf-life left can remain unsold
20. Over-ordering and overproduction can take place
42. People are increasingly demanding fresh food without preservatives
44. Mainstream retailers demand the majority of the shelf shelflife (60-75%)
50. Availability takes priority over waste
71. Consumers want product to be as fresh as possible
35. Retailers enforce penalties for not delivering OTIF 72. Stock rotation practices are not always followed
31. Sharing of demand information between retailers and suppliers can be limited
23. Demand for certain products has high variability
301. Price sensitive information cannot be shared
302. Some organisations are not always open to sharing information
3. Products with poor appearance often remain unsold - wasted
61. Failure of refrigeration equipment (retail display, transport and warehousing) can spoil product
121. Customers expect consistency in product appearance
82. A higher proportion of the shelf-life is used in the supply chain
60. Poor retailer chilled displays can affect appearance and reduce shelf-life
26. Weather fluctuations create variability of demand for many products
30. A structured approach to running promotions is not always followed
112. Intermediate packaging can create waste
111. Changes in pricing and labelling can cause packaging waste at the producer
62. Product can be damaged from chilling
80. Imported products tend to have longer lead times 63. Poor practices in cold chain management can affect the product
15. Packaging is not always designed to minimize waste
83. People are demanding more products out of season 15. Stacking and shelving procedures are not always followed
25. Promotions create uncertainty in demand for promoted product and for other products (cannibalisation)
27. Seasonality and cyclicality can create unstable in demand
13. Packaging is sometimes fragile
12. Product is not always handled appropriately
81. Out of season products have to be imported
36. Forecast and orders can be inflated for various reasons (e.g. meet financial targets, make shelves look full)
91. Failures in Quality management and Health & Safety will cause product recalls
122. Retailers will reject products with sub-standard appearance
300. Handling discounts are offered to increase efficiency
37. Forecasting practices in the industry are variable
73. Performance indicators focus on cost, efficiency and availability
16. Temporally labour is often not sufficiently trained

See what is wasted, where and when • Retailer-supplier team focus on one of their product families where the opportunity to prevent supply chain waste is likely to be most substantial • Select product family by sharing and combining top level aggregate data about the absolute and percentage values and volumes of material waste between factory in-gate and till • Material waste can arise at many stages of the supply chain; from goods-in, through processing, packing, storage, picking, dispatch, transport, to shelf replenishment and shopping • This material waste can take the form of raw material processing loses, clean down waste, and contaminated, damaged, obsolete or expired stocks of product and packaging materials, work-in-progress and finished goods © IGD 2012
See what is wasted, where and when • Interrogate SKU / location / time specific data on ERP or similar systems to identify instances of material waste • Waste type and reason codes are often entered into these systems to explain waste when a manual adjustment is made – Warehouse codes may include: “promotion”, “minimum order quantity”, “sales below forecast”, “season exit stock” or “damaged”

See how and why waste is occurring • The system data analysis sheds some light on top level types of and reasons for material waste • Before effective solutions can be generated the mechanics and root causes of the material waste need to be identified • The how and why cannot be detected from the system • They can be too easily assumed; the temptation to make assumptions, jump to conclusions and invest in changes that don’t prevent material waste has to be guarded against • Your retailer-supplier team need to go to the hot spots at the key times, investigate the products and use investigative techniques such as the “5 Whys” to learn from those involved

See how and why waste is occurring • Identify the root causes and build a Loss Tree
• Process mapping to depict who does what when can help reveal root causes in, for example, the breakdowns or delays in the handoffs of information between functions deep in head office miles away from the resulting material waste © IGD 2012
See how and why waste is occurring • The retailer and supplier team need to work together all the way from till to factory in-gate and through their respective head offices taking different roles depending whose territory they are on – When visiting, team members should concentrate on asking all their questions and making all their requests to help build understanding – When hosting, team members should concentrate on facilitating access to front line staff who can answer questions and to responding to other requests as possible
• The learning is maximised when all this can be undertaken by a cross-functional trading partner team • Sometimes the true significance of something seen at one point is only recognised by somebody who works somewhere else along the supply chain © IGD 2012
See how and why waste is occurring • Such “supply chain walks” should be arranged very carefully to maximise access and learning • It is often tempting for a site host to dress things up in preparation for a visiting delegation without realising that this defeats the purpose of the visit • Previously agreed working principles such as those in the ECR Collaborative Waste Prevention Toolkit help build the trust and openness required for maximum effectiveness • Alongside its competition compliance policy IGD has a new statement of the conduct expected of participants when working on supply side projects (see www.igd.com/policies) • This is to provide maximum clarity about what can and cannot be done with trading partners on projects such as material waste prevention projects © IGD 2012
