SuperCheap Auto : Packaging and Barcoding

Trade Partner Guide

There are many benefits to be gained by all participants from an efficient and effective Supply Chain. The full extent of the benefits will not be realised unless Super Cheap Auto and its trade partners are aligned throughout the supply chain. To be aligned, fundamental processes and standards must be established, understood and applied. There are four 'Core Competencies' that SCA's trade partners are required to be compliant with from a supply chain perspective:

1. Packaging that enables efficient movement and product protection throughout the supply chain.

2. Unique identification of the consumer unit and each level of packaging through the use of Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN's) in barcodes, and parties and locations through the use of Global Location Numbers (GLN).

3. Logistics or Pallet labels containing Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCC's) as well as other barcoded information where applicable.

4. Electronic exchange of information - purchase orders, delivery advices and logistic data.

To assist our trade partners, Supercheap Auto has developed a set of guidelines that sets out its requirements relating to packaging, barcode and logistic data specifications. Please find the links below to download the document. The document is available in English and in Mandarin. These specifications relate to the first 3 'Core Competencies'. These 3 competencies are required to support the 4th 'Core Competency". To achieve a cost effective flow of goods, packaging, barcoding and delivery specifications must consider the needs of manufacturing, distribution, store operations and the consumer.
