Implementation Final Steps (I) • Implementing the planogram: the planogram was implemented in all Abu Dhabi stores (adjusted to each outlet Chocolate section dimensions) • Monitoring planogram compliance: followed up by retailer
Results Final Steps (II) • Evaluating the results: two months after the implementation, category performance data before/after implementation was compared, showing: • an average increase of 30% in terms of movement at total category level per outlet; • significant decrease of Out of Stock situations for best selling items and improved level of control over the inventory level. * A consumer research carried out at a later stage showed that the shoppers noticed and appreciated the standard layout in all Abu Dhabi outlets in the Chocolate section.
