Rich EmrichEDI ManagerJ.M. Schneider
IntroductionIntroduction
The implementation of an industry wide initiative as comprehensive as the movement to VICS 4010 will require a resolution process to address standards related issues. Therefore an implementation resolution process has been established to ensure timely resolution and to ensure consistency in implementation.
Note: This process will only address standards related issues, and not issues arising from application limitations.
ObjectivesObjectives

• Address Business needs over system needs
• Endorse and formally submit required standards changes
• Timely resolution (within 4 weeks were standards changes are not required
StructureStructure
• A committee of 5 members is to be created preferably from the group who developed the implementation guides. Two members each representing distributors and suppliers and one neutral part (one of the co-chairs of the ECCC Industry Standards Advisory Committee)
