1: GS1 System
Leverage the powerful and robust GS1 System of standards Other Information:
GS1's main activity is the development of the GS1 System, a series of standards designed to improve supply chain management.
Stakeholder(s):
- GS1 Member Organisations (MOs): Much of the development is initiated by its Member Organisations (MOs). Companies wishing to use the GS1 System should apply
for membership to a Member Organisation. Companies in countries where there is no MO can obtain their membership directly
from GS1 Global Office... GS1's interests are represented at meetings with official bodies (such as the United Nations and
the European Commission), international associations and other institutions. Member Organisations are usually national associations
which provide tools and support that enable their own member companies to manage their supply chains and trade processes far
more efficiently. Specifically, the main responsibilities of MOs are: * The allocation of unique numbers - the basis for the
complete range of standards * Providing training and support for: - BarCodes: Numbering and bar coding - eCom - EDI (Electronic
Data Interchange) - Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) - data synchronisation EPCglobal - RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
* Supplying information on the standards and the continuing evolution of the GS1 System through the Global Standards Management
Process (GSMP)
