Quick response QR

Adopting a VMI approach incurs a high investment by the customer and supplier. Setting up the processes and procedmes for imdertaking this new way of working takes time and effort. The customer will need to close their materials management function if they are to make cost savings, while the supplier will need to develop the capability to take over this task. 

The process of outsourcing materials management to suppliers makes the retailer more dependent on them. 

The practicalities of the processes and procedmes that underpin VMI may not be transferable from one customer to another. Customers may ask for different tagging methods or bespoke labelling. With many industrial products there is no bar-code standard.

The retailer has heard of a new scheme called quick response (QR). Under this scheme, the manufacturer has to receive the order only four months in advance. This enables the retailer to collect data regarding sales of similar products. These similar product sales enable the retailer to further refine the demand distribution estimates. What will be the impact of QR on the retailer ... 

One of the key aspects related to the VSC that make the SC processes easier and faster that has been addressed by Lorchirachoonku and Mo (2010) is the quick response (QR) code and he stated that it was developed by a Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994 that has been widely used in Japan. 

If it is decided not to integrate the ERP systems of the individual supply chain partners, quick response (QR) is a commonly applied cooperation method (Sahin and Robinson 2002). This method is based on a reduction of the replenishment lead times, enabling the retailer to hold smaller stocks and refill inventory faster. 

The basic idea behind quick response (QR) is that in order to reap the advantages of time-based competition it is necessary to deveiop systems that are responsive and fast.

Quick response has much in common with the principles behind just-in-time described in section 6.2. The same principle of making only to demand is applied to different parts of the supply network. QR applies the pull principle to the front-end process of distribution management between the retailer and the supplier. JIT applies this principle throughout the supply network. In the case of QR, items are supplied to the retailer in response to consumer demand. Deliveries are made just-in-time for them to be sold. Delivery to the retailer triggers the supplier to produce another item, so pulling further parts through the supply chain in a JIT manner. 

Consider using a QR (Quick Response) code Including a QR code is another quick and ecisy way for your lead to get to a landing pe e with an additional offer or CTA. All he does is snap a picture of the code and he can go to a dedicated landing pe e.
