Global Standards Management Process ©2007 GS1 US PLId&V PLId&V Retailing Company Sizing for Scenario (Question 1 of 1) 1. Example sizing information for medium or smaller sized company's facilities for the retailing side are needed to validate physical location scenarios.

To help with the response, examples of the information previously received from LCN on the supplying side were: - sample Distribution Centers: small bins- 14 locations with bins per location = bin for one company's plants Please provide the sizing inform Response from GS1 Germany The need for location identifiers is dependent on the internal organisation and not on the amount of facilities. EVERY amount of facilities can be identified by a normal GLN (out of several GS1 Company Prefixes if needed) and a corresponding data management (master data). There is no change in GLN policy needed to cover even the need for big sized companies.

The rationale is that often there are changes to the gross dimensions that are less than 20%, but cause disruption within the Supply Chain. 11 questions asked - 12 responses received Objective: to determine based on the responses if there is a need to make a change to the rule and if a change is needed to determine the impact of the change
