Have you heard of??!!!!!
  • Mercedes Benz , Germany
  • Mitsubishi Motor, Japan
  • Toyota ,Japan
  • Renault, France
  • Volvo, Sweden
  • Macimex, Mexico
  • Dana Corp. U.S.A.

4
Have you heard of ..
  • Bharat Forge
  • Bharat Forge , Pune , India 2nd largest the
    most technologically advanced forge shop in the
    world

5
The Global economy
  • Business cycles
  • Sharper , shorter
  • The global value chain
  • Smart sourcing
  • Value chain visibility transparency

6
Successful companies are Supply Chain Masters
  • View as strategic
  • Implement end to end integrated processes
  • Across forms , systems, people
  • Execute supply chain initiatives to achieve
    uncommon results
  • Drive supply chain innovations continually

7
What have they achieved
  • Zara delivers new styles in 3 to 6 weeks from
    demand ( comp 5 months) 11,000 styles per
    year
  • BA Increased profits in a slowing economy
  • 2000-02 saved 50 M , 70 M expected thru
    strategic sourcing

8
And the Chain is Exploding
  • Global air freight volume will grow 3 times in
    the next 20 years
  • Emirates SkyCargo 1 M tonnes plan
  • Dubai port ( among top 11 worldwide)
  • 2.4 M containers , growth 24
  • Hong Kong , Bangkok, Amsterdam

9
Current Challenges
  • Retail
  • Inventory tracking
  • Out of Stock
  • Warehouse visibility
  • Theft
  • Extended Supply Chain
  • Defense forces
  • Automated asset check-in / check-out
  • Security during transportation
  • Tracking and Visibility of assets
  • Sensor Integration
  • MRE expiry date tracking

10
What is the solution?
A Unique ID on each asset makes it track-able
anywhere and everywhere
RFID tag technology , provides that unique
Identification.
  • RFID Radio Frequency IDentification is a
    wireless form of automatic identification
    (Auto-ID) technology that allows for non-contact
    reading of data

11
Is RFID tag an improvised barcode?
  • RFID reader energizes tag which then transmits
    stored information back to reader
  • Uniquely identifies each instance of a product as
    well as the product type (so you know which box
    was scanned)
  • Line of sight NOT required
  • Information can be updated (class 2 and above)
  • Laser reader interprets barcode to
  • determine UPC number
  • Static information
  • Line of sight required
  • Problem reading soiled barcode
  • At UPC level, system doesnt know if 3 different
    items were scanned or if the same item was
    scanned 3 times

RFID Enabled Supply Chain
Merchandise is read as its shipped by supplier
and received at the DC

RFID Data
RFID Reader
RFID tag placed on items, cases and pallets at
manufacturer / supplier

Merchandise is read as its shipped by DC and
received by the store/Club
RFID Reader
Merchandise is read as it leaves the store
backroom/Club storage rack and enters the sales
floor

Passive RFID Tag Operation
READER
14
Active RFID tag
  • Tag acts like a beacon continuously
    communicates and a reader picks up the signal
  • Longer range (10-100m or more)
  • re-usable
  • Memory for data storage
  • Sensor integration
  • Costlier

15
Telemetry
  • Transmission of an assets position through
  • Telecommunications
  • (SMS,GPRS,CDMA etc.)
  • Satellite communications
