6. Palletized Unit Load Tag YES Pallet tag Shipping Container Exterior Container YES YES Item Unit Pack * NO *Passive tagging of unit packs is more common in retail than defense. Item tagging may be a future capability, but not practical in near-term for long-life items. - NATO/National Stock Number (NSN) is a codification tool for identifying items that meet a set of capabilities but does not differentiate among those individual items- RFID primarily focused on Packaging for In-transit and storage Related Codification and Transport Initiatives

7. Unique Item Identification - “Enabling individual item visibility by going beyond codification” • UII Raises the Bar to intensive identification, tracking and management throughout the lifecycle of each item UII uses machine-readable, globally unique item identifiers and integrates three primary processes: • Comprehensive use of UII facilitates the assessment of an asset’s location and status with respect to its maintenance plan and the consolidation of this information for logistics analysis • An automated means of marking and identifying equipment items such that manual entry of the commonly used equipment identifiers is eliminated, where possible • The ability to electronically exchange data bi-directionally across disparate organizations and systems. –

8. MFR 0CVA5SER 674A36458 IUID: It All Starts With a Part Mark! In today’s world, many items we buy have identification on them that indicate the manufacturer or distributor of the product and the product type (e.g., 12oz can of Coca-Cola Classic) Two identical cans of Coke from the same bottling plant will show the same data on the Universal Product Code (UPC) Some items also have a serial number that differentiates one item from another identical item (e.g., the 24th engine off the assembly line is different from the 1024th) Serial numbers are unique, but not outside of their enterprise – the serial number assigned by XYZ Manufacturer could be the same as one assigned by ABC Company By combining enterprise identification, item class and serialization, a globally unique item identifier is created that differentiates every item from other items Each item has its own globally unique identifier (UII)

9. Enterprise Identifier = 0CVA5 (CAGE Code) Original Part Number = 1234 Serial Number = 674A36458 UII: How is it Constructed? The UII shall be derived from its discrete component data elements – the concatenated UII is not required in the mark as a separate data element From the Data Matrix: The UII can be derived using the IAC for CAGE, which is “D”:

10. Automatic Identification Technologies - an Important Enabler for Business Process Improvement (Unique Item Identification Example) DOCVA5674A36458 Unique Item Identification ISO 15459 AIT enables error-free data transfer!

11. Recent Publication – ISO 15434.3 Bridges Business Sector Parts Identification to Support Item Unique Identification No Change No Change Interoperability Enabled 11

12. Fixed and Variable Item Master Data Used for PIPC Pedigree Data Used for Legacy (Also used for PIPC) Used for Legacy (Also used for PIPC) Pedigree Data Indicates data element may change during items life 12

13. Strength through Industry & Technology X Benefits of MRI and Automated Data Capture INDUSTRY VIEW - TRANSFORM! • Significantly reduces risk of quality failure associated with identification escapes • Eliminates legibility issues • An enabler to a paperless system • Improves speed and accuracy of data transfer • No data transcript errors • Internationally recognized • Has the ABILITY to……... • Improve parts traceability • Reduce internal processing procedures • Capture accurate ‘As Built’ data • Check ‘Should Build’ data • Reduce Replenishment costs • Generate electronic log books The Voice of the Industrial Base

14. Strength through Industry & Technology An MRI Journey - Sample AFTER BEFORE Provided Courtesy of Rolls Royce Engines : Nat Russhard Oct 2005 Result: Achieved savings across aerospace engine manufacturing of as much as 4% of direct labor
