GS1 WORLD MAP GS1 Member Organisations 104 MOs representing 1,000,000+ member companies in 155 countries Membership allocated on a direct company basis by GS1
BASIC OVERVIEW OF THE EAN.UCC SYSTEM
GS1 standards drive consumer demand data availability!
Efficient replenishment relies on GS1 standards!
GS1 standards drive the WMS where demand and supply chains meet!
Inventory planning and supply chain visibility rely on GS1 standards!
GS1 standards enable the entire order to cash cycle!
Adoption of GS1 standards drives down complexity and cost!
ECR Europe Integrated Suppliers pilot results in 1999-2000 Inventory level held between trading partners down by 40% Administrative cost reduction 20 % for the manufacturer 5 % for the supplier Order fulfilment lead times reduced by 40% Reduction of production costs of 6% Service levels approaching 100%
Upstream Integration Model «GS1, a new name, a global vision together»
Overview on current scenario S S S S S Manufacturer S Manufacturer S Manufacturer S Manufacturer S S S S All companies have developed their own solutions to share information with major suppliers (e.g. email, extranet access, EDI, etc) Different business process scenarios Different data interchanges Different integration technology These customized solutions have proved to be inefficient and unsuitable to be scaled within companies and across the industry

Global Upstream Supply Initiative In 2003, an informal group of CPG manufacturers started exploring the upstream supply chain areas for improvements. This led to the publication of the first version of the Upstream Integration Model (UIM). A second version was published in 2004. It was submitted to GS1 as a basis for the development of new and amended EAN.UCC standards. Today, GUSI is a part of GCI and a dedicated Work Group is established. Membership consists of manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials, ingredients and packaging.
Evolution of GUSI 2003 Group of manufacturers (Unilever, Nestlé, Henkel and Danone) explores upstream supply chain areas for improvements Confirm that there is a strong potential for a common set of approaches and standards upstream Create an Upstream Integration Model (UIM) of processes, definitions and message needs Positive support from EAN.UCC UIM V 1 is presented to experienced esupply Chain suppliers: Positive reaction from suppliers in support of the initiative 2004 The original group expands to include new manufacturers and suppliers (P&G, Crown, Firmenich, Kappa Packaging, Novozymes, SCA, Van Genechten Packaging) No emarketplaces or service providers involved Continue neutral facilitation Create UIM V2 and submit it to Global Standard Management Process to develop standard messages based on business requirements GUSI approaches GCI to gain approval as an official global initiative Positive response from GCI GUSI becomes part of GCI and a new organizational structure is agreed

Manufacturer- Supplier Integration solution which can accommodate different business process scenarios Upstream SMI and Order Management are the two most common business process scenarios used in the CPG industry Future Scenario - Upstream Integration Model Business Processes UIM Messages Set of standard messages supporting business process scenarios The move to more real time exchange of data instead of the batch oriented exchanges of the past The focus on exceptions rather than sending and confirming whole batches of data, e.g. receipt note exceptions The Upstream Integration Model is a standard solution which can be scaled If adopted by the major companies of the industry, the Upstream Integration Model will unlock the potential benefit of collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers

EAN.UCC Identification Keys and Bar Codes «GS1, a new name, a global vision together»
Presentation Overview Which standards? Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) Global Location Number (GLN) Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) How are they applied upstream? Some examples
Trade item: Global Trade Item Number - GTIN A trade item is defined as any item (product or service) upon which there is a need to retrieve predefined information and that may be priced or ordered or invoiced at any point in any supply chain.
Global Trade Item Number
Logistic units: Serial Shipping Container Code - SSCC Logistic units: An item of any composition established for transport and/or storage which needs to be managed through the supply chain
Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
Locations: Global Location Number GLN Physical location a single point of access with a physical address, such as a particular room in a building, warehouse, warehouse gate, loading dock, delivery point, cabinet, cabinet shelf, or a room within a building, as well as operational locations such as EDI mailboxes Legal entity the legal organisation that is subscribed to the EAN.UCC System, such as whole companies or subsidiaries, including suppliers, customers, financial services companies, and freight forwarders
Global Location Number - GLN
Company Prefix Worldwide unique Gives access to all the applications using EAN.UCC System identification standards
Application Identifiers (AI) To define the meaning and format of the information following in a data field Application Identifiers have been defined for: product and logistics unit identification, traceability data, dates, quantity, measurements, locations, etc. Example: GTIN + Batch no, represented in a data carrier (UCC/EAN- 128)
And now upstream.what? Raw material: A crude, unprocessed or partially processed material, that is converted into a finished product by a manufacturer. This includes additives and preservatives. Examples: orange juice concentrate, oranges, bag of grain, beans etc, eggs, meat, cheese, essences, fragrance Packaging material: all the materials used to make the packaging and the packaging itself. This includes additional objects (spoons etc) Examples: bottles, cups, lids, roll of foil pre-printed, labels, can etc.
Upstream: Definitions Generic or Supplier specific trade items Specifications are made by the Supplier and can be sold to multiple customers. Manufacturer / Customer specific trade items Specifications are set by the customer. Material is made and sold for one customer only. Multiple Suppliers can sell the material. Fixed Measure Trade Items Always produced in the same version and composition (i.e. type, weight, contents, design). The complete identification of a Fixed Measure Trade Item consists of an identification number. Variable Measure Trade Items Has at least one characteristic that varies whilst other characteristics remain the same. This changing characteristic can be the weight, dimension, number of items contained or volume related. The complete identification consists of both an identification number and information about the variable data.
And now upstream.how? Allocating the GTIN, basic principles: 1. The Brand Owner, the organisation that owns the specifications of the trade item regardless of where and by whom it is manufactured, is responsible for the allocation of the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN ). 2. A GTIN is only changed if the change is relevant further down the supply chain. 3. Each trade item that is different from another must be allocated a separate, unique GTIN.

Conclusions The Upstream Integration Model (UIM) is the foundation for global standards, which are produced by GS1. They are expected to be released in Q1 2006. Global CPG manufacturers and suppliers are leading implementation of the UIM and EAN.UCC standards under the auspices of GCI. This will impact your business! Therefore, please study the UIM, prepare to adopt EAN.UCC standards, and join the GUSI Work Group.
