Welcome to the GS1 Work Request (WR) System

Process Description

The GS1 Work Request System (WRS) for submission and tracking of Work Requests and Work Orders has been designed for use with the most current Netscape and Microsoft browsers. While it should function with other browsers, we recommend upgrading to at least Netscape Navigator 6 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.

GSMP Process Simplified

The GSMP Process Consists of Four Key Steps:

Step 1: Statement of Business Need
The GS1 Industry Engagement department assures the request has a clear scope and a commitment to resource development and implementation ensuring a swift resolution. Work Requests (WR), the entry point into the GSMP process, are submitted by the community to request new standards or modify existing standards. Maintenance WRs are directly routed to SMGs, Development WRs are routed to Industry Engagement (IE) for analysis – then on to a GSMP development Working Group.
2: Requirements Analysis

Step 2 is the most critical step of user engagement. It harmonizes requirements across all types of standards. A Business Requirements Analysis Document (BRAD) contains detailed industry “needs” to assure the solution addresses the industry problem

Step 3: System Development

Step 3 is where the standard is developed with a methodology that guarantees a robust, stable and timely solution at the end of the production chain. In this step, an opportunity for prototyping (if necessary) exists as well.

Step 4: Deployment

Step 4 assures that user's needs are met, and that the standard is ready to go to market. Standards are part of a “full package” delivery to the community – which includes collateral material such as Implementation Guidance, Webinars, Training, Newsletters, or Bulletins. Ratification by the BCS and the POC assures adherence to GS1 operational and strategic procedures.
