11. Business Work Packages

12. Approach of Business Work Packages Problem Analysis Requirement Analysis Business Case Pilot/ Trial Infrastructure/Application Base: EPC & EPCglobal Network

13. WP 5: Anti-Counterfeiting • Develop a secure track and trace solution based on EPCglobal network infrastructure • Analyse the drivers and enablers of counterfeiting and product piracy, the supply and demand side of illicit trade • Requirement analysis of end-user, consumers, brand-owners and manufacturers (task will include the demands concerning an end-user EPC-based device to perform product checks) - Input from EU SToP project • Assessing the economical justification; build business case • Development of trial infrastructure WP Partners: SAP, ETH Zürich

14. WP6: Pharma Traceability Pilot • Implement a complete supply chain traceability system for pharma products to improve patient safety and increase supply chain efficiency in the branded and generic supply chain. • Demonstrate a business case and the feasibility, cost efficiency, and interoperability of the technology suite, regardless of: • Pharma product packaging level and and product type • Serialised data tag (RFID or Data Matrix code)

15. WP7: European Textile supply chain 1. Analytical Approach - Problem Analysis based on studies and field reports - Requirements Analysis Hardware, Software and processes - Develop a Business Case 2. Empirical Study - Execution of an Empirical Study - analysis results - deployment of a pilot WP Partners: GS1 Germany, AIDA, UPC, Carrefour, gardeur, GS1 Spain, Kaufhof, Northland

16. WP 8: Manufacturing Process Application • Examine the role of RFID in providing accurate and complete item level information in a timely manner to enhance the managementof products in services • Problem analysis: identify business process improvementsthat are possible through RFID tagging on work-in-progresscontainers – specially in manufacturing processes • Requirement analysis: HW (types of tags/readers that are appropriate to business processes) + SW (existing systems and new decision system) • Business case and trial infrastructure WP Partners: Cambridge, Nestlé, SAP, BT

17. WP 9: Reusable Asset Management Focus on the use of EPCglobal applications for the management of reusable logistic containers- how to develop a secure track&trace solution to cut the cost and increase efficiency Items: pallets, crates, barrels, gas cylinders, beer kegs, rail cars,trailers, etc. First steps: market description- defining the key actors in the market- providing figures on the market Approach:1. Questionnaire will be circulated to container pools and providers2. Description of current practices in terms of flows of goods, data and money Pilots and trials are planned WP Partners: GS1 France, Carrefour, GS1 Germany, Bénédicta

18. WP 10: Products in Service (I) Business problem: the gradual loss of item level information during and after the point of manufacturing. The information associated with a particular product decreases. WP Partners: Cambridge, Sony, BT, Carrefour

19. WP 10: Products in Service (II) Examine the role of RFID in providing accurate and complete item level information in a timely manner to enhance the management of products in services: • to conduct feasibility analysis of an RFID enabled information system for the whole lifecycle for a specific product type (e.g. TV) • to examine the type of information that needs to be captured when products are in service and maintenance • to conduct arequirement analysis, e.g. tags and type of information needed for maintenance and products in service • to determine a business case: the benefits of having accurate and complete product information on products in services against the cost of HW/SW • trial to prove the robustness of the EPC network for intra- and inter-communications to store, retrieve and filter product lifecycle information

20. WP 11: Item Level Tagging for Non-Food-Products To understand how item level tagging will help to improve efficiency and provide better services for the customer:a) optimised order and forecasts with enhances visibilityb) reduction of returns to suppliersc) improve inventory in store and warehoused) decrease out of stockse) lower shrinkagef) develop collaboration between partners Product categories: - cultural products: DVDs, books, SW, CDs video games- textile products WP Partners: Carrefour, Cambridge, GS1 France, GS1 Germany

21. Training, DisseminationInnovation & Policy Work Packages

22. WP12: Training Training activities (WP 12) – GS1 GO • To perform a Training Needs Analysis as to assess which course material needs to be developed for which target audience and in which format • Based on the Training Needs Analysis, to develop course material in a blended learning approach (eLearning, face-to-face training, trainers kits, syllabi, etc.) • To customize the existing GS1 eLearning platform (i.e. LEARN) as to ensure it fully support EPC/RFID student administration, tracking and certification for this project. • To assess whether a ISO 17024 business certificate can be delivered to the students attending the EPC/RFID courses developed in the framework of this project
