Hudson uses Supply Chain Review to map its course
A GS1 Australia Supply Chain Review has helped Hudson Pacific, a member of the Countrywide Foodservices Group, to reassess its operations and processes. The review carried out by GS1 Australia Professional Services team identified and mapped the company's current processes, made recommendations and presented a manageable plan for Hudson Pacific to evaluate.
Hudson Pacific's IT and Quality Assurance Manager, Joanne Grogan, said the review had gone very well and the company was now evaluating GS1 Australia's recommendations. A GS1 Australia Professional Services team member was on site for the majority of the review, and the project was completed in less than two weeks. Hudson Pacific was provided with a clear set of both long and short-term recommendations on how implementing the GS1 standards could reap supply chain efficiencies.
The recommendations by GS1 Australia Professional Services also broke down the perceived complexity of implementing bar coding systems into manageable sections that could be managed within the company. "GS1 Australia has provided both short-term and long-term goals and these must be evaluated before our client can proceed to the next phase of the project," he said.
