Efficient Consumer Response (ECR), is a strategy to improve consumer choice, satisfaction and service and at the same, reduce total costs, inventories and physical assets. ECR requires distributors and suppliers to focus jointly on the efficiency of the total grocery chain, rather than the efficiency of individual components. The design specifications for the standardised pallet conforms to ISO 6780 which specifies the principal dimensions and tolerances for flat pallets for intercontinental materials handling and to SS 334:1998 Singapore Standard for Specification for Timber Pallets.
