Old document view Key Points
In most organizations little thought is given to how companies are presenting themselves to their customers Companies spend millions on branding and brand identity….yet when it comes to some of the most direct forms of communication….they are failing Example: think of statements that you receive from utilities, Telco, finance institutions….are easy are they to read and understand…what impression does it give you? How may invoices do you receive from your insurance company? Wouldn’t it be nice if it could all be consolidated into a single statement?

StreamServe and RFID StreamServe RFID for Supply Chain Logistics Business Issue StreamServe Can Influence Business partners demand A very high level of supply chain accuracy Perfect Orders Or….production stops if components or material arrives late Or….customers cancel orders when finished goods do not ship on time Manufacturing initiatives force suppliers to improve inventory/shipment accuracy Lean manufacturing Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Just In Time Manufacturing (JIT) Starting with the Business Issues our customers are facing today in the Supply Chain Logistics processes, there are two levels of issues depending on who you ask. At the middle management / operational side there are issues like ”how can we increase the supply chain accuracy, how can we reach the perfect order, how can we improve and tighten the relations with our suppliers in the supply chain processes?”. There is also an issue with loyalty within manufacturing. If an order is wrong, production stops, material arrives late it is a big risk that customers cancel orders and goes to another supplier. At top management within Logistics they struggle with issues like what technique, inititive or process model should we use to minimize waste, human effort, space, tools, inventory and engineering time to develop a product (Lean Manufacturing). Also how can we adjust the supply and demand gaps (VMI) and how can we have the right part at the right place in the right amount at the right time (JIT). These techniques shortens cycle times, decreases the amount of inventory that a company carries, increases quality, decrease cost and leads to satisfied customers. Examples of techniques and initiatives are VMI, Lean Manufacturing and part of that is the JIT technique. Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything compared to traditional mass production: less waste, less human effort, less manufacturing space, less investment in tools, less inventory, and less engineering time to develop a new product. Lean manufacturing is a generic process management philosophy derived mostly from the War Manpower Commission which led to the Toyota Production System (TPS)[1] and also from other sources. It is renowned for its focus on reduction of the original Toyota 'seven wastes' in order to improve overall customer value but has some key new perspectives on how to do this. Lean is often linked with Six Sigma because of that methodology's emphasis on reduction of process variation (or its converse smoothness) and Toyota's combined usage (with the TPS). Toyota's steady growth from a small player to the most valuable and the biggest car company in the world has focused attention upon how it has achieved this. Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a family of business models in which the buyer of a product provides certain information to a supplier of that product and the supplier takes full responsibility for maintaining an agreed inventory of the material, usually at the buyer's consumption location (usually a store). A third party logistics provider is involved who makes sure that the buyer have the required level of inventory by adjusting the demand and supply gaps. As a symbiotic relationship, VMI makes it less likely that a business will unintentionally become out of stock of a good and reduces inventory in the supply chain. Furthermore, vendor (supplier) representatives in a store benefit the vendor by ensuring the product is properly displayed and store staff are familiar with the features of the product line, all the while helping to clean and organize their product lines for the store. One of the keys to making VMI work is shared risk. Often if the inventory does not sell, the vendor (supplier) will repurchase the product from the buyer (retailer). In other cases, the product may be in the possession of the retailer but is not owned by the retailer until the sale takes place, meaning that the retailer simply houses (and assists with the sale of) the product in exchange for a predetermined commission or profit. A special form of this commission business is scan-based trading whereas VMI is usually applied but not mandatory to be used. This is one of the successful business models used by Wal-Mart and many other big box retailers. Home Depot uses the technique with larger suppliers of manufactured goods (ie. Moen, Delta, RIDGID, Paulin). VMI helps foster a closer understanding between the supplier and manufacturer by using Electronic Data Interchange formats, EDI software and statistical methodologies to forecast and maintain correct inventory in the supply chain. Vendors benefit from more control of displays and more contact to impart knowledge on employees; retailers benefit from reduced risk, better store staff knowledge (which builds brand loyalty for both the vendor and the retailer), and reduced display maintenance outlays. Consumers benefit from knowledgeable store staff who are in frequent and familiar contact with manufacturer (vendor) representatives when parts or service are required, store staff with good knowledge of most product lines offered by the entire range of vendors and therefore the ability to help the customer choose amongst competing products for items most suited to them, manufacturer-direct selection and service support being offered by the store, and finally the relatively frequent occurrence of "Well, I'm pretty sure this is right for your needs but let me take you over to Luc; Luc works for Company X and he's the real expert on their stuff". Just-in-time (JIT) is the most used and recognized lean manufacturing technique. For many years just-in-time has been misused or misunderstood for many American manufacturing companies. According to the book, "Running Today's Factory", some people think that JIT means Just Implement Techniques, in other words, use "best practices". The correct definition of just-in-time is having the right part at the right place in the right amount at the right time. This technique shortens cycle times, decreases the amount of inventory that a company carries, leads to low work-in-process (WIP), and creates a flexible atmosphere for the type or amount of product that a company would like to run and most of all streamlines work flow through a manufacturing facility. 25

StreamServe and RFID Customer’s Perception Of The Related Problems “Business partners demand a very high level of supply chain accuracy/perfect orders” Inventory quantities are often hand written on move tickets Inventory transactions are often manually entered into applications Humans make mistakes resulting in inventory inaccuracies Perfect orders (right quantity/right time) are very hard to ship Manual processes can only be made faster with the increase of head count Shipping the wrong goods to the wrong location results in returns Processing returns and related transportation costs is ultra expensive Creates unsatisfied customers Potential for lost supply contracts When we investigated theses issues at our customers and tried to focus on the parts where StreamServe could have influence we discovered that: ... 26

StreamServe and RFID StreamServe enables material movement processes to be automated by printing RFID tags for documents, items and parcels StreamServe uses data from existing application output to create RFID tags in addition to the existing document, without altering the existing application program StreamServe enables enterprise systems to produce RFID tags centrally, reducing the cost of multiple installations decentrally, depending on the desired architecture of the customer StreamServe, by encoding information in RFID tags, enables the automation of all inventory movements assuring 100% accuracy of supply chain data Enabling organizations with 100% inventory accuracy assures the right products are shipped, to the right locations, at the right time – Supporting the Just-In-Time technique. So now we have covered RFID in a general way, now we will focus on the StreamServe part. In a StreamServe configuration you can now in a template area add space for an RFID-tag and configure settings for the specific tag. And this feature enables material movement... 27
