  1. DoD RFID Policy November 2, 2004 Alan Estevez| Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Supply Chain Integration)

  2. Why we need RFID . . . Visibility is Critical to Effective Logistics Support

  3. Policy Scope Active RFID – freight containers, air pallets • SAVI 433 Mhz readers • SAVI tags • DoD tag data formats Passive RFID – case, pallet, UID item packaging • EPC std UHF readers • EPC Class 0 & 1 std tags • Migration to EPC UHF Gen 2 std • EPC and DoD tag data formats

  4. Transportation/Supply/Theater Depots/TDCs Manufacturers/Suppliers Customers Distribution Centers/Depots POEs/ PODs Improve Intransit and Asset Visibility Initial benefit areas Improve Shipping/Receiving/Transportation Timeliness Improve Shipping/Receiving/Transportation Accuracy Improved Inv Mgt Improved Inventory Mgt Reduced Costs Improved Labor Productivity Other benefit areas Reduce NISs Reduced Pipeline Pipeline Reduction Eliminates dup Speed Payment Process Automated Receipt Automated Receipt and Acceptance Reduce Shrinkage Reduce Shrinkage Demand/ Information Flow Benefits across the Supply Chain

  5. Next Steps • Publish DFARS Rule for passive RFID • Work within DoD on implementation… • Two major sites in 2005: Susquehanna & San Joaquin Dist Centers • Other major sites in 2006 • Work with Industry on implementation… • Next DoD Summit February 9-10, 2005 • Outreach/education through conferences, industry associations and website (www.dodrfid.org) • Suppliers Guide (see www.dodrfid.org)

  6. Challenges ahead… • State of the technology • Currently accepting first generation EPC tags • EPC/Industry working on EPC Gen 2 tag • Varying degrees of readiness for implementation • Some companies already shipping tagged materiel • Other companies still learning about the technology • Business process changes • Shipping and receiving • Visibility of assets in repair

  7. We can use your help… • Support standards for RFID • Consistent approach across all industries • Align your implementation strategy with DoD • Get the word out on RFID • Use the technology… • Learn by doing

  8. The RFID Vision Implement knowledge-enabled logistics through fully automated visibility and management of assets in support of the warfighter

  9. A Midwestern Grocery Chain Executive discussing the potential of the barcode in 1975* *“Scanning Hits a Snag,” Progressive Grocer, December 1975, p. 47 Back to the Future “I think the industry has sold itself on a program that offers so little return that it simply won’t be worth the trouble and expense.”
