Abstract

This is the first of a two-case series (399-092-1 and 399-093-1). Hong Kong Article Numbering Association''s mission was to promote and facilitate efficient trade practices, and to contribute towards the continued global competitiveness of Hong Kong companies. As such, HKANA had been successful in introducing EAN bar-codes to Hong Kong manufacturers and retailers. The challenge now was to convince the retailers to use the scanned bar codes in their stock planning and replenishment cycles. This would optimise existing routines and take costs out of the replenishment process.
