Changes must be made to this standard from
time to time to reflect changes in our
methods and procedures. Every vendor and
plant site is encouraged to suggest
improvements and revisions.
Suggestions from the plant sites should be
handled as follows:
-
Revision suggestions for the Bar Code
Manual should be submitted in writing to
the site Bar Code Owner. The Bar Code Owner
will work with the site System Owner to
evaluate the suggestion and determine if
the site should request the change to the
Bar Code manual.
-
If the site chooses to pursue the change,
the site System Owner will propose the
change to the Application Software Review
Board.
-
The Application Software Review Board will
be responsible for determining if this
change is aligned with the industry
standards (via a review with
P&G’s Representatives to the
Uniform Code Council and EAN International
Organizations), if it impacts any other
businesses, and if it requires a change to
P&G’s Bar Code Specification. The
Review Board will keep the Bar Code Network
advised of the status of the proposed
change and will document if the change will
be made.
-
The Application Software review Board will
then issue the Bar Code Manual with the
change incorporated.
Suggestions from Vendors should be made to
the site that is responsible for their label
qualification. If that site agrees with the
change they will continue with the procedure
outlined above (B. thru D). Suggestions may
also be made via their normal Purchasing
contact. Purchasing should forward the change
request to an appropriate receiving site or
to the Application Software Review Board and
request that it be reviewed.
Each vendor is expected to have a single
point of contact for bar coding. All bar code
manual revisions will be issued to this
single point of contact. Any changes to the
point of contact should be communicated via
Purchasing.
