Labeling
What is label compliance?
Literally, it means meeting or complying with the labeling
guidelines set down by a customer. The customer, whether it is a retail
firm, shipper, or manufacturer, has created its own labeling
specifications to fulfill its transportation and logistical needs. It is
up to the supplier to meet those guidelines. Failure to do so could
result in return of product, fees or contract termination.
Organizations like the UCC (Uniform Code
Council), the AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) and HIBCC (Health
Industry Business Communications Council) have developed specific
industry labeling standards. Their guidelines minimize problems between
trading partners by creating a basic structure all suppliers and
customers can agree upon. The guidelines are implemented on a volunteer
basis.
In practice, the benefits of compliance
labeling are fairly obvious for the customer. A bar code labeling
standard helps monitor inventory, assists replenishment, minimizes
distribution time, and allows for product traceability. The supplier's
initial time and expense appears to be justified only in maintaining a
business relationship with a customer requiring label compliance. But,
over time, the increased accuracy, improved order picking, and
streamlined inventory will be solid evidence that a bar code labeling
system benefits both sides. The bottom line is to get the right product
to the right place in the shortest time.
