The Business Operations SME Work Group is Newly Revived and Needs Volunteers!
This group will focus on capturing all pertinent information within the ASN (Advance Ship Notifications) and how the information flows into labeling accurately and consistently. A key driver is the need for better and more complete ASN Data, especially as tariff-related requirements add complexity for manufacturers and distributors
The SME group should include representation from manufacturers and distributors, with both IT/API/EDI/ASN expertise and operational experience such as quality, logistics, warehouse, and receiving.
