Efficiency & Effectiveness

Evolution of CVOEvolution of CVO
Traditional ITSA approach– Emphasis on public-private interfaces
» Electronic credentialing» Regional automated oversize/overweight permitting
Transitional IFTWG approach– Emphasis on intermodal freight
» Enhance fleet operations» Improve customer service
Emerging CWG approach– Emphasis on security balanced with efficiency
Supply Chain IntegrationSupply Chain Integration
Major trend knits together shipper, carrier, and receiver information systems & business processes
– Competition & financial incentives drive it– New information & communication technologies
make it feasible
Inefficiency anywhere in the supply chain affects everyone in the supply chain
Try replacing “inefficiency” with “vulnerability”

The ITV ChallengeThe ITV Challenge
ITV is a Long-term ChallengeITV is a Long-term Challenge
Laments and complaints– Operators: “Where’s my equipment?”– Customers: “Where’s my stuff?”
Nested freight relationships hinder data quality– Every shipment is a chain of transactions
Nested Freight RelationshipsConveyance
Container
Pallet
Multipack
Part
Every shipment is a chain of nested
transactions that should be transparent

Approaches to Location TrackingApproaches to Location Tracking
Choke point or signpost reports– Fixed readers– Short range communications– Tag must pass close to a reader
Mobile reporting– Long-range communications– Location identification– Can include 2 way digital communications

Value of Real -Time Location TrackingValue of Real -Time Location Tracking
1. Efficiency and productivity
2. Service quality
3. Shipment and service integrity
1. Efficiency and Productivity1. Efficiency and Productivity
Reduce errors, wasted effort, and re-work– Save process and cycle time– Save labor hours
Optimize assignment of equipment and people– Improve quality of life for operators
Optimize across functional areas– Operations, maintenance, labor relations
Reduce slack capacity and inventory
2. Service Quality2. Service Quality
Improve reliability– Better schedule adherence
Increase operational flexibility– Advance warning of disruptions – More ability to respond to priority changes– Ability to divert shipments en route
Improve user and customer confidence
3. Shipment and Service Integrity3. Shipment and Service Integrity
Better cargo security Less theft of services Mitigate some losses in progress Enhance safety Reduce insurance premiums

Intermodal Freight and SecurityIntermodal Freight and Security
Three Views of Supply Chain SecurityThree Views of Supply Chain Security
Containerization magnifies security risks Security measures threaten efficiency Supply chain tools can improve security
while improving efficiency
Technology can support both goals
when well conceived and well executed!
Requirements for Supply Chain Security Requirements for Supply Chain Security
Assured integrity of conveyance loading and documentation
Significantly reduced risk of tampering in transit
Accurate, complete, and timely information about shipments
Improve Visibility and ControlImprove Visibility and Control
This is the most common recommendation to improve both security and productivity
There are major institutional and technical challenges
Visibility Discussion is ConfusingVisibility Discussion is Confusing
Visibility of what? – Visibility of items and assets
By what means?– Event-driven data and integrated systems
In what timeframes? – Timeliness keyed to needs
From what sources?– Data from shippers, carriers, and third parties
Technology Developments That Will Technology Developments That Will Change Best Business PracticesChange Best Business Practices
What Will Change the Business Model What Will Change the Business Model for Supply Chain Management?for Supply Chain Management?
Powerful, long-term trend in information technology will move us beyond ‘license plate’ barcodes-and-databases
Continuing improvement in form, function, integration, reliability, and cost of information technology components
Key Developments to WatchKey Developments to Watch
Cheaper real-time ID and tracking Auto-networking tags Multi-mode readers “Productizing” of system integration Effective hybridization
Cheaper real-time ID and tracking
CheaperCheaper Real-Time Tracking Real-Time Tracking
Better technology and growing volume produce dramatic cost improvements– GPS and other GLS– Low Earth Orbit satcom– Dual mode commo with satcom backup– Phone location technologies
Prime new applications will start with tracking untethered trailers and chassis
Cost Trend in Cost Trend in Real-time Transportation MonitoringReal-time Transportation Monitoring
-Qualcomm truck system, ~$2500
-Vantage trailer tracking, ~$700
-SkyBitz location monitor, ~$400
-E-911 cell phones, ?
These are illustrative examplesCosts are negotiable--volume is a big factorMonthly communication costs are also importantThe capabilities are very different

eventually--ubiquitous role
