Johnson & Johnson GS1 Asset Management Platform Overview

This document is a technical report detailing the Johnson & Johnson GS1 Asset Management Platform, which aims to enhance the management of GS1 assets such as Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and Global Location Numbers (GLNs). The report outlines the challenges faced without an automated central management system and describes the approach taken to create a connected platform of online portals. These portals enable a consistent and uniform approach for J&J companies, facilitating automatic notifications for license renewals and capacity limits. The platform supports the generation of GTINs, NDCs, and NTINs, thereby eliminating manual efforts and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, it provides visibility into legal assets and ensures compliance with global regulations. The report also discusses lessons learned during implementation, emphasizing the importance of global visibility and the transition from manual processes. Future steps include migrating manual enumerators onto the platform and enhancing capabilities for GLN visibility and enumeration.
