Overview
The accurate and consistent dimensional measurement of trade item packaging is key to the successful exchange of product data between trading partners. These rules are provided for use for all trading partners wishing to share product package measurements. This common methodology for determining product package measurements is intended to ensure global compatibility.
Industry studies have shown that two-thirds of product information shared between trading partners has data accuracy errors. By attending, you will receive information and guidance on interpreting and applying the GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard for both consumer and non-consumer trade items, which form the foundation for accuracy of physical dimensional data (i.e., weights and dimensions).
Who should attend?
The course is suitable for master data teams, NPD and anyone else responsible for managing weights, dimensions and new lines forms.
This course is also invaluable for users of productDNA and Global Data Synchronisation (GDSN).
