Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) 2nd Quarter 2017 report
The Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) is a community-based process for creating deliverables that serve the GS1® community.
The deliverables from GSMP are:
GS1 standards: documents that trading partners agree to follow in order to achieve interoperability goals. The rules that must be followed are called normative statements.
GS1 guidelines: non-normative documents that assist individual organisations in understanding and applying GS1 standards.
Collateral materials: other documents that provide an understanding of GS1
standards and GS1 guidelines and how to use them.
This report contains the standards and guideline development activity for the 2nd quarter of 2017 (April - June).
2 Standards and guidelines are created through the GSMP 4-Step Process

3 Standards Activity
3.1 Standards delivered in this quarter
The EANCOM Standard Edition 2016 was issued as the EANCOM technical solution for all EDI business requirements approved during last two years (2015-2016). This implementation will
improve business functionality of EANCOM 2002. It will benefit the whole EDI user community.
The GDSN Healthcare Use Cases Guideline has been updated to the GDSN Standard version 3.1.2
The GDSN Maintenance Release 3.1.3, Business Message Standard, has been updated for the November 2017 release. This release includes work requests approved (for the release) by 25
October 2016 that are backward compatible, and includes Validations, Global Product Classification,
Codes and Attribute Value Pairs
The GDSN Medical Device Non UDI Implementation Guideline has been updated to reflect the GDSN Standard 3.1.2
Updates were made to The General Specifications Standard through General Specification Change Notifications (GSCN’s) for the following:
Help companies minimise the size of a GS1-128 barcode
Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) 2nd Quarter 2017 report
Consumer Product Variant Identifier – Introduce a new entity and identifier, within the GS1 General Specifications, to facilitate communication of trade item changes for which a new GTIN is not required
A new guideline, The use of GS1 Identification Keys in GS1 EDI Messages Implementation Guideline, was developed to explain how GS1 keys should be used in GS1 EDI messages and their benefits
The GS1 Image Specification Guideline was updated for ease of use
A new guideline, The Pharmaceutical Image Implementation Guideline, was developed to assist in product identification and patient medication information sheets for oral solid pharmaceuticals
The Global Product Classification (GPC) Standard June, 2017 Publication was issued and brings valuable new content such as new Bricks to expand classification in Cosmetics, Photography, Hormonal Contraception, DIY Products, and Crops. This standard will be implemented into the GDSN Network in the near future.
3.1.1 Standards delivered in Q1
The EPCIS and Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) Implementation Guideline has been updated
to incorporate the revised EPCIS and Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) Standard, V1.2. The implementation guideline is intended to provide supply chain stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, logistics providers, solution providers, business process architects; IT departments (developers) and solution providers with an introduction to implementing a visibility system using EPCIS, the Core Business Vocabulary specifically and GS1 standards.
GS1 General Specifications Standard v17 has been updated to include 24 work requests (e.g. MRO in Rail, align on human readable interpretation, New Ai for paperless coupon, etc…). The GS1
General Specifications Standard is the core standards document of the GS1 System describing how GS1 bar codes and identification keys should be used.
A new GS1 XML EDI Maintenance Release 3.3 Standard includes all technical solutions for all business requirements approved during last two years (2015/2016).
A new version of the EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS), 1.10 defines the Electronic Product Code (EPC), including its representation at various levels of the GS1 Architecture and GS1 System
Landscape (e.g., on EPC/RFID tags and in EPCIS events), and specifies the data carried on more Gen2 RFID tags. TDS 1.10 includes a number of backward-compatible enhancements, such as data carrier-neutral EPC URIs for the Global Identification Number for Consignment (GINC), the Global Shipment Identification Number (GSIN) and the BIC container code, as well as additional EPC/RFID filter values for the Global Document Type Identifier (GDTI) and the Aerospace and Defense Identifier
(ADI). Additionally, new AIs have been added for encoding in EPC User Memory, harmonising TDS with version 17 of the GS1 General Specifications, and the TID Memory Bank has been aligned with
the EPC Gen2 UHF air interface protocol.
Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) 2nd Quarter 2017 report
The implementation of best-in-class improvements has resulted in a significant reduction of work requests in the system over the last 500 days. Work requests not actionable for standards development were either withdrawn, or sent back to the submitter as “not actionable for standards development”. 90 work requests remain open in GSMP as of 30 June 2017.

3.4 Standards Development Work Group
Standards Development (SD) Groups are responsible for GS1 system development including,
developing GS1 standards, GS1 guidelines, and other deliverables that support their deployment. There are two kinds of SD work groups:
Standards Maintenance Groups (SMG): SMGs have an indefinite lifetime, are responsible for the on-going maintenance and enhancement of one or more existing GS1 standards or GS1 guidelines.
Mission-specific Work Groups (MSWG): MSWGs are formed to do a specific piece of work as described in its charter, which disbands when the work is complete.
Mission-specific Work Groups are created for most work efforts of substantial scope.

3.5 Performance
Work requests are the entry point into the GSMP process to request new standards or modify existing standards per the process and procedures laid out in the GSMP Manual. A Work request becomes a Work Order when it is approved for standards development. The time it takes for a Work Order to be processed in GSMP is measured below.
3.5.1 Standards maintenance work
A Work Order is categorised as maintenance if it is a single, or a group of small changes to an existing standard or guideline, that can be developed in a Standards Maintenance Group. Examples: errata, new EDI code values, new symbol placement rules, GDSN Validation Rules.
There are two types of maintenance Work Orders:
Maintenance Type 1: Simple changes to a standard, considered on-time if it is completed within 180 days (10 day variance permitted)
Maintenance Type 2: Development time is expected to be longer than 180 days. These are
considered on-time, if completed within 365 days (10 day variance)
99% of all work orders completed this quarter were completed on-time (within the service level agreement stated above.
The median development time for a maintenance work request closed in 2017 ytd is 88
days.

3.5.2 Development work
A Work Order is categorised as development, if it involves creation of a new standard/guideline, or significant change to existing standard/guideline. Examples: extension to GDSN, a new EPCglobal High Frequency (HF) Air Interface Standard, enhancement to the EPCIS Standard to include
aggregation layers, a new barcode symbology, a new Business Message Standard. Development work is on-time, if the work is completed in, or under the estimated time to complete. The estimated
completion date is defined in the project plan at the start of the development stage.

4.2 Voting
Each company/organisation represents one vote in GSMP, regardless of the number of associates
voting. GSMP requirements and standards are approved by community eBallots. Each eBallot requires approximately 12 votes with additional minimum requirements of supply chain role votes (charter variations may apply). Due to system changes, voting statistics are not available for this quarter. Updated information will resume in Q3.
Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) 2nd Quarter 2017 report
The average number of votes per ballot in Q1 was 19. Sixty Seven ballots (67) passed in Q1.
4.3 Event attendance
GS1 Global Office hosts two events every year for the GS1 community to collaborate face-to-face on
industry needs and the development of GS1 standards. These events are:
GS1 Standards Event, held in the USA

5 Quality
The GSMP defines quality as the entire process employed to ensure that all GS1 standards are user-driven, globally applicable, royalty-free (to the best of our ability) and that ultimately meets the
needs and requirements defined by its members.
Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) 2nd Quarter 2017 report
All GSMP groups are expected to follow the processes and procedures specified in the GSMP Manual. A community eBallot is used to confirm community consensus to progress a draft standard, or other
GSMP deliverable.
5.2 Consensus
Decision-making is achieved through consensus, which is defined as approval without sustained opposition. Voting options are yes, no and abstain. Due to system changes, Q2 ballot data is not available. Updated data will resume in Q3.
Below are measures of due process and consensus in the GSMP:
Zero (0) due process infractions
87% of eBallots approved in Q1 were unanimous
99% of votes cast in Q1 were affirmative
5.3 Satisfaction survey results
GS1 issues several surveys to measure satisfaction with GSMP. Survey results are structured in three categories:
unfavourable = sum of very dissatisfied and fairly dissatisfied
neutral
favourable = sum of satisfied and very satisfied
Favourable and unfavourable answers are shown in percent using this structure: fav/unfav. Neutral
answers are not used in reporting the survey results, they are viewed as opportunities to move a response to favourable. The results of the three surveys are detailed in the next three sections.
5.3.1 GSMP member satisfaction survey
Overall satisfaction with GSMP rose 7 percentage points for the second year in a row, and reduced unsatisfactory ratings to a 4 year low. Staff satisfaction was down 5 percentage points, but is still the second highest rating in 4 years. Satisfaction with the GSMP process itself, maintained its 50% rating,
while achieving the least amount of unsatisfactory ratings in the last 4 years.
