  14. turn 14 · 1:41 · 1:41 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

    Right.

  15. turn 15 · 1:44 · 1:44 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    is a production plan rather than,

  16. turn 16 · 1:51 · 1:51 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    Yes.

  17. turn 17 · 1:54 · 1:54 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

  18. turn 18 · 1:59 · 1:59 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    Right.

  19. turn 19 · 2:00 · 2:00 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    Yeah so, which what I said in the very first meeting, in March last,

  20. turn 20 · 2:07 · 2:07 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    Yes.

  21. turn 21 · 2:09 · 2:09 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    year.

  22. turn 22 · 2:13 · 2:13 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    so You did.

  23. turn 23 · 2:17 · 2:17 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    Mm-hm.

  24. turn 24 · 2:20 · 2:20 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    I am going to keep saying it.

  25. turn 25 · 2:31 · 2:31 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    Yes.

  26. turn 26 · 2:32 · 2:32 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    What is the split by store format?

  27. turn 27 · 2:38 · 2:38 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    Yeah.

  28. turn 28 · 2:41 · 2:41 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    It varies. The big stores, bake more.

  29. turn 29 · 2:51 · 2:51 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    Do you have it by format?

  30. turn 30 · 2:57 · 2:57 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    I have it in a spreadsheet.

  31. turn 31 · 3:03 · 3:03 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    Of course you do.

  32. turn 32 · 3:07 · 3:07 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    Hmm. Nadia, can you walk so... interface points?

  33. turn 33 · 3:24 · 3:24 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    Sure.

  34. turn 34 · 3:26 · 3:26 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    Okay so. Yes. So the production plan needs a demand signal from us, and then whatever Meridian builds consumes it. The question...

  35. turn 35 · 3:45 · 3:45 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    Mm.

  36. turn 36 · 3:49 · 3:49 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    is where the boundary

  37. turn 37 · 3:56 · 3:56 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    Right.

  38. turn 38 · 3:58 · 3:58 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    sits.

  39. turn 39 · 4:05 · 4:05 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

    We would prefer to consume a forecast and own the plan.

  40. turn 40 · 4:10 · 4:10 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    That works for us.

  41. turn 41 · 4:14 · 4:14 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    Yes.

  42. turn 42 · 4:18 · 4:18 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    On timelines,

  43. turn 43 · 4:23 · 4:23 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    Sure.

  44. turn 44 · 4:24 · 4:24 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    we have capacity from March. Before that Nadia is on another account until —

  45. turn 45 · 4:34 · 4:34 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    I mean, marco.

  46. turn 46 · 4:37 · 4:37 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

  47. turn 47 · 4:38 · 4:38 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    so Sorry, yes. We have capacity from March.

  48. turn 48 · 4:44 · 4:44 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

    Yes.

  49. turn 49 · 4:45 · 4:45 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    But, is there a problem?

  50. turn 50 · 4:50 · 4:50 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    Yeah.

  51. turn 51 · 4:51 · 4:51 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    No. I was about to say something about another customer's schedule and I should not, with Meridian in the room. Nothing sinister, it is just not mine to share.

  52. turn 52 · 5:09 · 5:09 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

    I mean, i mean We are used to it.

  53. turn 53 · 5:18 · 5:18 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    Fine.

  54. turn 54 · 5:25 · 5:25 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    So... Can I ask

  55. turn 55 · 5:36 · 5:36 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    Yeah.

  56. turn 56 · 5:39 · 5:39 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    what happened with the December go live? We were told it went well but not much beyond that.

  57. turn 57 · 5:52 · 5:52 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    Yeah.

  58. turn 58 · 5:53 · 5:53 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    It went

  59. turn 59 · 5:58 · 5:58 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    Yeah.

  60. turn 60 · 5:59 · 5:59 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

  61. turn 61 · 6:04 · 6:04 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

    Exactly.

  62. turn 62 · 6:05 · 6:05 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    It went well and I will give you the honest version because you need

  63. turn 63 · 6:17 · 6:17 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    Sure.

  64. turn 64 · 6:20 · 6:20 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    it to plan. Produce and,

  65. turn 65 · 6:24 · 6:24 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28

    Right.

  66. turn 66 · 6:26 · 6:26 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    dairy are working. The DC-2 feed still fails, less often than it did, and when

  67. turn 67 · 6:37 · 6:37 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28

    Mm.

  68. turn 68 · 6:40 · 6:40 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    it fails my planners stop trusting the numbers for a day or two afterwards. So if you are building on top of this, build assuming the

  69. turn 69 · 7:00 · 7:00 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

    Yeah.

  70. turn 70 · 7:01 · 7:01 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28

    1 second feed is imperfect.

  71. turn 71 · 7:05 · 7:05 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28

    Okay.

  72. turn 72 · 7:06 · 7:06 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
