Dear ECR Community member,
ECR Baltic together with ECR Switzerland and Tallinn University of Technology is leading the European collaborative supply chain guide project whereas the basis of the research is the "VMI Manual for practitioners" by ECR/GS1 Switzerland.
Please help ECR Baltic get consolidated feedback from FMCG and Retail companies in Baltics, answering two questionnaires below. The research is carried out by Tallinn University of Technology VMI research team lead by Hele Hammer, PhD.
Survey on Success Factors in VMI implementation
Survey on Cost-Benefit Analysis of a VMI project
The surveys are easy to fill with multiple answers and will each take approximately 10 minutes to fill (to fill the survey you need good command of the subject as a SC Director, CIO, CFO or CEO representing your company opinion).
The deadline for filling the survey is 20 April, 2014. To show appreciation for participants to devote their time, an Amazon Kindle e-reader will be drawn between all respondents.
Also, all interested respondents will get the results of the survey and the new updated manual.
The ultimate goal of the survey is to get valuable input into the new ECR pan-European Handbook for VMI projects.
Thank you for your time and effort and good luck in prize draw!
