Integrated Solution for ISO 8000 Data Quality
ISO 8000 Quality Data is the key to Smart Manufacturing and Digital Supply Chain!
ISO 8000 is a key element of Smart Manufacturing and building a digital supply chain, and it can benefit just about any company. There are several aspects to implementing ISO 8000, and implementation by companies can be approached using the steps outlined below. Arnett & Lin Consultants can assist you in implementing these steps and finding the ISO 8000 solution that will work best for your organization.
STEP 1: Obtain an Authoritative Legal Entity Identifier (ALEI)
Find and Register your ALEI at www.ealei.org
Having an ALEI will show your customers and trading partners where your company is legally registered and allow them to see the registration certificate. That is a big advantage to them related to meeting “know your suppliers” laws and regulations. Also, obtaining ALEIs for your customers and trading partners is a great way to protect your company and ensure compliance. The ALEI app is located at www.ealei.org.
STEP 2: Obtain a SmartPrefix for your company
ISO 8000-115 Quality Identifier for Products and Services
SmartPrefixes make it easier for your customers and potential buyers to find the products and services you make when they search the Web. Also, SmartPrefixes create a definitive, branded identifier for products and services that your company and your customers can use for their digital supply chain and in their databases. The SmartPrefix app is located at https://www.smartprefix.org/smartprefix.
STEP 3: Add your SmartPrefix to your products and services
