RFID and Supply Chain Management

Technology is inevitable in every sphere of life today; it has always made things easier. Wal-Mart works on the same strategy, from the above description; we can understand how diversified Wal-Mart is and the volume of cargo it needs to handle for each of its business’s. Traditionally, it had started with computerization of individual stores with small billing machines and had then led to centralized billing for record keeping. The technology has grown by leaps and bounds and has become increasingly challenging to maintain large databases of information and maintain records. Powerful computers networked with high performance clusters maintain and store this data. This gives a picture as to how technology plays a vital role in today’s’ businesses.

Traditionally, technology has been upgraded in billing systems and for storage purposes. A new area where technology could be applied to, where many expenses could be saved was in inventory management and logistics. Wal-Mart being so huge, needed to keep track of men and material sent across different countries and had to maintain hundreds of warehouses across the world. Bar-codes have been initially identified as a suitable technology to meet the purpose.

Lotte Grup Take Over 19 outlet of Makro Indonesia

JAKARTA--MI: Lotte Grup, kelompok usaha asal Korea Selatan yang bergerak di sektor distribusi, makanan dan minuman, serta bahan kimia berat, telah mengambil alih 19 gerai Makro Indonesia dan mengubah logonya menjadi LOTTEMART WHOLESALE mulai 14 April 2010.

Perubahan logo akan dilakukan bertahap dimulai dengan perubahan logo Makro yang terletak di Pasar Rebo, Jakarta Timur. Kemudian diikuti gerai Makro di Jakarta dan Bandung pada 19 April, Jawa dan Bali 26 April, Jawa Tengah 3 Mei, dan Sumatra 11 Mei. Direncanakan, 19 gerai tersebut selesai berubah nama pada 21 mei 2010 yang diakhiri oleh gerai di Sulawesi dan Kalimantan.

Perusahaan yang saat ini menempati posisi keenam terbesar di perputaran roda bisnis Korea tersebut juga berencana untuk membuka 30 gerai barunya di Indonesia dalam lima tahun ke depan. "Kami akan berkomitmen untuk membuka empat gerai lainnya di tahun ini dan 30 gerai baru dalam lima tahun ke depan dengan konsep hypermarket modern," ungkap Moon Young-Pyo, Presiden Direktur Lottemart Wholesale, di kantor pusat Lottemart Wholesale Indonesia, Pasar Rebo, Jakarta, Rabu (14/4).

Sejak November 2008, Lottemart telah mengambil alih 100% saham PT Makro Indonesia. Namun, Moon menyatakan bahwa Lotte Wholeshale tidak akan mengubah konsep dasar dari Makro Indonesia sebagai pemain utama bidang perkulakan di Indonesia dan tetap memfokuskan pada pelanggan korporasi (HORECA yakni Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, UKM, penyedia jasa).

Meskipun demikian, perusahaan juga akan melayani pelanggan individual di masing-masing gerai. Saat ini, pelanggan korporasinya meningkat 15% yaitu sebesar 1.300 orang dari sebelumnya pada 2008 sebanyak 1.200. Omzet penjualan juga meningkat sebesar 20% per tahun sejak 2008.

Konsep bisnis yang dikembangkan perusahaan yang namanya terinspirasi dari tokoh Charlotte dalam novel karya Goethe tersebut adalah sebagai pusat perkulakan Lottemart Wholesale dan pusat perbelanjaan modern Lottemart (ritel). "Penggabungan dua konsep bisnis ini akan menjadi tren baru di pasar modern," katanya. Dalam upaya melaksanakan program tersebut, Lotte Grup berencana melakukan investasi sedikitnya US$860 juta melalui afiliasinya, LotteMart.

Perubahan tersebut tidak hanya ditekankan dalam hal logo. Moon mengungkap bahwa akan diadakan perubahan besar, di antara lain kehigienisan toko, tata letak toko, pintu masuk, display toko, hanging bannner, promotion display, hingga seragam pegawai. Hal ini dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kepuasan pelanggan dan pelayanan terhadap pelanggan-pelanggan yang selama ini setia kepada Makro. Di samping itu, Lottemart juga akan mengubah private brand mereka seperti ARO dan Savepak yang berubah menjadi Lottemart. (*/OL-04)

WAJIB LABEL INDONESIA UNTUK PRODUK IMPORT

Butuh Waktu Untuk Mengganti Label Barang di Pasaran

JAKARTA. Meski persiapan mepet, namun PT Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia (YMKI) tetap melakukan persiapan terkait wajib label Indonesia. Manajer Umum Promosi dan Penjualan YMKI, Bambang Asmarabudi mengatakan, tak ada masalah untuk menyematkan label Indonesia pada barang yang baru diproduksi.
Persoalan justru terdapat pada barang yang sudah beredar di pasar. Peraturan Menteri Perdagangan No.62/2009 tentang Kewajiban Pencantuman Label pada Barang memang mewajibkan seluruh produk baru dan yang telah beredar di pasar untuk berbalut label bahasa Indonesia.
Label berbahasa Indonesia yang dimaksud ialah meliputi jenis barang, cara penggunaan, simbol bahaya atau tanda peringatan, serta nama dan alamat produsen dan importir. Ukuran label ini bisa disesuaikan dengan besar kecilnya barang. Kalau label tidak mungkin dicantumkan pada barang karena ukurannya terlampau kecil, boleh juga membubuhkannya pada kemasan atau berupa petunjuk terpisah.
Untuk produk baru, wajib label Indonesia efektif per 1 Juli nanti. Sementara untuk barang yang sudah beredar di pasar, wajib bersalin dengan label Indonesia sejak akhir tahun nanti. Bambang mengatakan, barang yang sudah beredar di pasar jumlahnya mencapai ribuan unit.
"Untuk menghabiskan barang itu butuh waktu tiga sampai empat tahun, sementara waktu yang diberikan cuma sampai akhir tahun, bagaimana caranya?" keluh Bambang kepada KONTAN pekan silam. Untuk itu, YMKI mengusulkan agar waktu penggantian label pada produk yang telah beredar diperpanjang.
Soal label Indonesia pada produk impor, YMKI mengaku tak ada masalah. Soalnya, produk impor di YMKI cuma sekitar 10% hingga 20%. Biasanya barang ini diimpor dari Jepang. Sebaliknya, barang yang diproduksi di Indonesia juga diekspor ke 30 negara, termasuk Jepang dan AS.
Terang penerapan aturan ini akan membuat ada perbedaan label antara produk yang beredar di Indonesia dengan yang diekspor. Karena pelabelan ini hanya persoalan pencetakan kemasan, Bambang pun tak melihat aturan ini akan mempengaruhi penjualan. Toh label Indonesia tetap bisa bersanding dengan label bahasa Inggris.
