GS1 Health Check™
Improving your supply chain performance
The GS1 Health Check is designed to review a company's level of readiness for the implementation of the GS1 System
, both internally within the business and externally with their trading partners. By assisting you to identify opportunities for improvement through the introduction of numbering, barcoding and electronic messaging, the GS1 Health Check can assist companies wanting to meet trading partner compliance requirements, as well as those looking to improve existing business practices through automation. The outcome of the GS1 Health Check is a range of specific recommendations and a roadmap to implement the GS1 System, specifically designed to meet the organisation's objectives.
Who would benefit?
Companies of all types and sizes can benefit from an GS1 Health Check, from manufacturers to importers, wholesalers to retailers and even third party warehouse and transport providers.
Overall, there are two broad categories of organisation that would undertake an GS1 Health Check:
- Those seeking to improve internal business processes and automate their interaction with trading partners through the use of item identification, barcoding and electronic messaging standards; and
- Those seeking to comply with trading partner requirements (i.e. electronic messaging, trade unit and pallet labelling, scan packing or EANway, etc)
What is the GS1 Health Check process?
The program uses a defined methodology, as illustrated below, to gather the necessary information needed to complete the GS1 Health Check assessment.
