Call to action - GDSN Irregular TI / HI Work Group CR 08-228
 
This is a GSMP Step 2 Call-to-Action to recruit users to continue the GSMP Step 1 effort GDSN Irregular TI HI Work Group. We ask for those from all industries and from everywhere in the world to bring their expertise, commitment, and contribution to this Project.  In June, 2009, a Business Case team was authorized to create a Business Case Document to examine the problem and opportunity surrounding the current confusion when irregular pallet information is published in GDSN.  Without accurate pallet information, optimization of transport planning is defeated. With the Business Case having been published (Step 1 of GSMP completed), this Call to Action is being issued to recruit users to GSMP Step 2, Requirements gathering.

Message from Chris Adcock, President Industry Engagement

"I am pleased to announce the publication of the first edition of the Industry Engagement Guide. This guide sets out the purpose and objectives of the GS1 Global Office Industry Engagement Team and the processes followed in our engagement with industry, our Member Organisations and external teams.

The document is the result of a year's hard work and dedication by a team drawn from all parts of our GS1 community and was compiled in partnership with our colleagues from System Development. The contributors are listed in the introduction and I would like to thank each one of them for their valuable contribution to this work.

We expect to refine the document over time based upon experience of using the processes and policies within it. We will soon produce a shorter and more concise overview to Industry Engagement so that our community can understand the basic principles and process flows of Industry Engagement without having to consult the much more detailed Industry Engagement Guide."

The Industry Engagement Guide can be downloaded from:  http://www.gs1.org/docs/ie/GS1_Industry_Engagement_Guide.pdf.
