A Different Perspective…..March 2009
Ian Robertson, GS1 EPCglobal3
Much attention has been given to explaining RFID technology and EPCglobal standards and how they enable the use of this technology in supply chains and retail operations.
But understanding the technology and the standards is not enough unless their use is put into the most important context of all – that of the business that is using them.
This presentation illustrates how they can help improve business from the perspective of an imaginary Vice President of Operations.
Although a fictional manufacturing operation is illustrated, the KPI’s and benefits are common to most operations

Operations “Layers”
5th March 2009
Level 1 is the management of an individual item, service or information through the operation’s processes. It focuses on individual processes and
transformation of material into the saleable item.1
Level 2 is the management of the operation on an overall and periodic basis rather than on an individual process. It uses data collected during the processes
to establish trends, monitor performance, identify bottlenecks etc.2
Level 3 is the management of the assets, property, plant, equipment, buildings and capital used. It also focuses on long term and strategic
planning. Accurate data is essential for this task.3

Data “Layers”
5th March 2009
Level 1 data is information about the progress of an individual item, component or service through the company's operations.
Level 2 data is summary data that provides data ontrends, throughput, supplier and vendor performance etc. It is based upon aggregation of Level 1 data
Level 3 data is information about capacity utilisation, capital utilisation, ROE, customer & market requirements. It is based upon aggregation and
analysis of Level 2 data

Operations Additional Focus
2006 EPCglobal Inc
In addition to managing the layers, Operations mangers have to manage two other very important aspects of their operations
Customer – provide the customer with information on order acceptance, order execution, dispatch, tracking and delivery
Processes – execute the minimum work necessary to transform the materials into saleable goods or services consistent with stated quality goals

Managing An Item
• Where is this item in the process ?
• Is this item on schedule ?
• Has it gone through all planned processes ?
• Does someone need to intervene in the process ?
• Will this item meet customer schedule ?
• Does it have all planned components ?
• Has it passed all necessary tests ?

Managing An Operation
• How was production last month against plan ?
• Where were my process bottlenecks ?
• What vendors performed to agreed SLA ?
• How did operations compare to each other ?
• How do we compare to others in our industry ?
• Did we meet commitment to our markets ?
• What supply issues impacted production ?
• Did we ship things on time ?

Managing Fixed Assets
Can I delay facilities expansion and avoid non linear increase in fixed assets allocation ?
When will peak demand exceed available capacity ?
Are my facilities in the right place ?
Will supply chain flows continue to support our markets ?
Is my Landed Cost still competitive ?
Can I improve seasonal capacity planning ?
Do I need different types of facilities ?

Current Assets – Pipeline Inventory
For many industries, this is a significant cost in the whole chain
If I can better see what is where in the pipeline I can better trust supply chain information
If I can ‘trust’ this information I can reduce my ‘buffer’ inventory and reinvest the capital
Knowing what is coming at production enables better production planning
Less inventory requires less space and less handling !

Managing Customer Service
Once they have ordered, customers want information
Is my product being made ?
Have you shipped it to me ?
Can you get it to me when I have requested it ?
Where is it now ?
When will it reach me ?

What work can I eliminate ?
Are there any duplications ?
Are we doing work because of poor visibility ?
Where are my choke points ?
What work could be done in parallel >
How much effort do we spend going after item information ?

Hidden Problems
But none of this matters at all if you can’t see what’s wrong in your operation. You can’t fix a problem that you don’t know you have!
The key to “seeing” your problems and opportunities for improvement is to “see” what has happened in your operation
And that requires “visibility” of what has happened.

A Shared Common Basis
2006 EPCglobal Inc
Visibility is not the goal of implementing GS1/EPCglobal standards and RFID technology. It is a means to an end, and that end is those business benefits.
But all of these improvement techniques are improved dramatically by accurate and timely visibility of what took place in the operations

Elements Of Visibility
What something is
Where it was
When it was there
And it really helps too if I can know
Why it was there
What condition it was in
2006 EPCglobal Inc
But VISIBILITY is knowing..
This simple approach to collecting “event” data is the key to correctly identifying problems in operations, which is the key to improving operations!

How To Get Visibility
1. Have a way to identify an item
2. Have a way to capture that information
3. Have a way to exchange that information
4. Have a way to enquire about that information

But Why RFID ?
2006 EPCglobal Inc
This pallet has at least one “inner core”.
That means that there are cartons inside the pallet with no line of sight to their labels
Verifying all cartons present means you must
Drop the pallet
Break it down
Line up the label and scan the barcode on each carton
Rebuild and re-label the pallet
RFID can possibly read all labels as pallet passes the antennae without stopping at all

But Why RFID ?
2006 EPCglobal Inc
It is possible to do all of this using barcodes. We must remember that barcodes have served the world well for more than 30 years. But sometimes the time and effort required means that it is not viable to capture visibility data other than at critical points in the overall process.
The main advantage of RFID as a technology is that it enables the viable capture of identity and other data at many more points in the processes than was previously possible. And it can do that without interrupting the physical flow of items…
And barcodes can help by providing a secure backup to RFID. They even enable the implementation of RFID in stages across processes and trading partners.
