UK RTP System
■ Roll out of standard Grocery RTP since early 1990s ■ Used mainly for domestic produce & fresh meat ■ Bakeries now have shared-use dedicated pool ■ Other RTP formats used for high volume beverage lines
Why use RTP?
■ Reduce supply chain cost ■ Improve in store space utilisation ■ Reduce waste ■ Enhance product protection ■ Lower health & safety risks ■ More consistent merchandising ■ Improved carbon footprint

■ Trip fee includes deposit, issue fee & daily hire from €0.30 to €0.50 ■ Average cycle times can fluctuate between 14 & 21 days (some as low as 7 days)
Why standardisation is important
■ Supplier to shelf journey to be achieved in the shortest, most responsive and efficient way possible ■ Maximise availability, drive sales & reduce wastage ■ Suppliers & depots able to invest in generic automation ■ Standard merchandising fixture ■ Less time sorting kit at back of store ■ Simpler pool management enabling better stock management
The cost benefit of standardisation
■ UK Grocery Pool RTP trips estimate 850-million per year ■ Approx 47-million trays required to support this ■ Variants being rationalised ■ Tray types reduced by 50% to an average of four ■ Less tray sorting at back of store & wash sites ■ Saving realised to be approximately €30m PA
Bread case study: No. of variants
■ Different suppliers used different baskets ■ Each type of basket was a different size ■ This added to replenishment cost ■ Wasted space at back of store ■ Difficulty in repatriating baskets to correct suppliers

RTP growth: Interfold
The new folding reusable transit packaging solution for food and grocery distribution
RTP growth: Interfold
■ Over 90% of UK fresh produce & meat distributed in Maxinest RTP ■ 90% of imported produce still in card ■ 150-million cases of imported produce each year (excluding bananas) ■ Need to develop a folding crate that inter-works with existing nesting crates ■ Folding crates typically offer 10%+ internal volume ■ Also able to stack 8,580 units on reverse loads ■ Inter–stacking of trays does not impact on productivity at depot.
RTP growth: Interfold
RTP growth: Maxipac
Pallet and wheel based bulk shipping & display units
RTP growth: Maxipac case study
Carrefour using Maxipac for potatoes Problem: ■ Assembly of bulk units slow ■ Product prone to damage ■ Under recovery of vehicle costs ■ Non–stackable ■ Poor display in store ■ Not easy to replenish
RTP growth: Maxipac case study
Carrefour using Maxipac for potatoes Outcome: ■ 56% improvement in stock density ■ Reduced transport cost ■ Faster merchandising time ■ Improved customer quality perception ■ Delivers a more cleaner and consistent display
RTP Growth: Maxipac, what good looks like!
RTP Growth: Minipac
■ New half size unit: 600x400 ■ Ideal for smaller stores ■ Stores which don’t sell high volume potatoes ■ Ideal for root vegetables... ■ ...and other categories such as eggs which need higher level protection ■ Also promo off fixture display activity
RTP Growth: Maxipac & Minipac, what good looks like!
RTP growth: Dollies
Dollies Ease & speed manual handling operations
RTP growth: Dollies
■ 800x600 & 600x400 introduced more than ten years ago ■ Enables faster replenishment in store ■ Faster picking at depot ■ Can be used as merchandising unit
Supplier
■ For high volume ‘fresh lines’ crates can be packed straight onto dollies instead of pallets ■ The standard Euro crate can be stacked 11 high onto dollies – the same as a pallet ■ Full vehicle loads would hold 1,408 full trays & 64 dollies ■ Utilise vehicle better when collecting compared to wood ■ Approximate trip price under €2.00
Depot
â–
Dollies used for high volume lines into big stores can be cross docked saving picking hours at depot and at store level.
Store
■ Colleagues in store can move crates easily and quickly ■ At peak trading times produce can me merchandised straight from dollies ■ Increase in sales, lower wastage ■ Increase in productivity
Store
From experience gained working with other retailers; the increase in efficiency at the last 50 metres is as follows: l
£12€ / week sales increase per store
£1.2€ / week saved on wastage per store l
£0.5K€ / week saved on lower wages per store l
■ These three main areas would save on add on average £13.7K/week per store. ■ Multiply 365 days x store no.s
Universal dolly
Clover-leaf recesses allows dollies to stack safely when empty
Pop-ups safely retain loads
Clip-on/off interlocking handle
Unique flip-out extension for carrying nested ALCs
Clearance for forklifting dolly on or off delivery vehicle
100mmĂ˜ braked castors
Summary
■ Reusable standard RTP’s can be win:win ■ In store benefits ■ Availability ■ Reduced ‘out of stocks’ ■ Supplier benefits ■ Improved product protection ■ Cost ■ Sustainable
