RRP Loading Patterns and Standard Dimensions for Block Pattern in Membership Wholesale Clubs

Purpose - This study analyzes loading efficiency by loading pattern for package standardization and reduction of logistics costs, along with the creation of revenue for the revenue review panel (RRP) of Membership Wholesale Clubs (MWC). The study aims to identify standard dimensions that can help improve the compatibility of the pallets related to display patterns preferred by the MWC and thereby explore ways to enhance logistics efficiency between manufacturers and retailers through standardization. Research design, data, and methodology - The study inves-tigates and analyzes the current status based on actual case examples, i.e., manufacturer A and Korea's MWC (A company, B company, and C company), and thus devises improvement measures. To achieve this, the case of manufacturer A deliver-ing to MWC was examined, and the actual pallet display pat-terns for each MWC were investigated by visiting each dis-tribution site. In this study, TOPS (Total Optimization Packaging Software, USA) was used as the tool for pallet loading effi-ciency simulations the maximum allowable dimension was set to 0.0mm to prevent the pallet from falling outside the parameters, and the loading efficiency was analyzed with the pallet area. In other words, the study focused on dimensions (length x width x height) according to the research purpose and thereby deduced results. Results - The analysis of pallet loading patterns showed that the most preferred loading patterns for loading efficiency according to product specification, such as pinwheel, brick, and block patterns, were used in the case of the general distribution prod-ucts, but the products were configured with block patterns in most cases when delivered to MWCs. The loading efficiency by loading pattern was analyzed with respect to 104 nationally list-ed standard dimensions. Meanwhile, No.51 (330 x 220mm) of KS T 1002 (1,100 x 1,100mm) was found to be the dimension that could bring about an improved loading efficiency, over 90.0% s
