Serial Number Generation
A comprehensive overview of the process for generating, storing, and assigning serial numbers to medicinal products, with a focus on the role of GS1 standards. It explores how serial numbers, along with Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and the Electronic Product Code Identification System (EPCIS), are integral to tracking and sharing product information across global supply chains. The module covers the entire lifecycle of a serial number, from its generation at the enterprise level to its use in various supply chain activities, ensuring data accuracy and security for compliance with serialization regulations.
Whether for onboarding or annual refresher training, this Module is seamlessly deployable on any LMS and can be tailored to your company’s exact needs.
Duration: 30 Mins
Grade: Premium Performance
Description
- In-depth Understanding of Serial Number Generation: Learn the key steps involved in creating, storing, and issuing serial numbers, and why it’s crucial to prevent duplication in the serialization process.
- Familiarity with GS1 Standards: Gain knowledge about GS1 standards and how they ensure reliable and standardized tracking of serialized products across global markets.
- Insight into Product Identification and Classification: Understand how GTINs and serial numbers (sGTINs) work together to create unique identifiers for pharmaceutical products and how they are classified and sorted.
- Comprehension of EPCIS and Data Sharing: Discover how the EPCIS standard facilitates the secure sharing of product data across the supply chain, enhancing traceability and preventing counterfeiting.
- Awareness of Serialization in the Supply Chain: Learn how serial numbers are managed across different facilities and how data systems integrate to maintain continuity and avoid disruptions in packaging and distribution.
Learning Objectives
