Stable Costs & Key Negotiations

This slide serves as the header for Section 03: Cost Structure & Key Negotiation Points. It states that the cost structure is stable, but additional negotiations are needed based on item characteristics.

The Cost Structure Workflow slide presents a table outlining four key steps, their owners, durations, and statuses. Steps include Base Cost Lock-in (Procurement, Contract Signing, Stable), Consumables Negotiation (Supply Chain, Post-Contract, Negotiable), Ops Data Collection (Operations, Initial Phase, Ongoing), and Packaging Standards Finalization (Ops & Procurement, After Data, Pending).

The "Risks & Considerations" slide highlights challenges like manual invoice tasks increasing processing complexity, critical SKU mapping for initial operations, and separate packaging for frozen/refrigerated items. It recommends a phased rollout at 50% capacity to mitigate risks effectively.

The slide presents a timeline of key discussions from November to December 2024, starting with finalizing dry ice and ice pack packaging standards in November. In December, it covers defining SKU packaging policy using operational data, selecting between Sabanet and EasyAdmin for IT integration, and conducting an on-site inspection on December 2 to verify operations and compliance.

Future Schedule & Key Discussions

Nov 2024: Finalize Dry Ice Standards Establish standards for dry ice and ice pack packaging requirements. Dec 2024: Define SKU Packaging Policy Set SKU count and combined packaging policy using operational data. Dec 2024: IT Integration Decision Select between Sabanet and EasyAdmin for seamless system integration. Dec 2, 2024: On-Site Inspection Verify operations, facilities, and compliance during scheduled site visit.

The slide outlines stable base costs with negotiable consumables, risk mitigation via phased rollout (starting at 50%) and SKU mapping, plus urgent scheduling of inspections (12/2), standards, and IT integration. Proactive steps ensure smooth operations, with a call to immediately schedule discussions and on-site inspections.

Key Takeaways

• Stable base costs with negotiable consumables & packaging

• Mitigate risks through phased rollout (start 50%) & SKU mapping
• Promptly schedule inspections (12/2), standards finalization, & IT integration

Closing: Proactive steps ensure smooth operations.

Next: Schedule discussions & on-site inspection now.

Secure success with stable costs and swift actions.
