  1. DoD RFID Policy Update April 22, 2004 Kathy Smith| Office of the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Supply Chain Integration)

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

  3. RFID for DoD VISION: Implement knowledge-enabled logistics through fully automated visibility and management of assets in support of the warfighter GOAL: Employ mature and emerging supply chain technologies to optimize the supply chain OBJECTIVE: Utilize RFID to facilitate accurate, hands-free data capture in support of business processes in an integrated DoD supply chain enterprise as an integral part of a comprehensive suite of AIT technology.

  4. Facing new challenges… • Rapidly moving force on a dynamic battlefield • Demand for better information on assets • Need for more effective management of inventory

  5. Why RFID now? Timing is right… • To capitalize on emerging supply chain technologies • To influence direction and cost of the technology • To make the standards work for us Lay the foundation for future supply chain improvements…TODAY!

  6. Timely and Accurate Data RFID will be an enabler to create an Integrated DoD Supply Chain Cases/Pallets are labeled with passive RFID tags. Cases are associated to pallet Cases/Pallets are read as they are received and new shipments are labeled. Orders are verified for accuracy Cases/Pallets are associated with Active RFID to provide TAV. Data is timely and accurate via network of linked readers allowing asset visibility along the entire supply chain Manufacturers/Suppliers Customer Distribution Centers/Depots/TDCs Commercial/Military Carriers TMO/Supply/Theater Depots The cases/pallets are automatically received with few disputes and info is shared with the AISs. Reconfigured shipments receive a new RFID Tag. When shipments are reconfigured a new RFID Tag is created for the pallet and associated with cases on that pallet Customers have visibility of requisitions and are confident in the status provided by the system

  7. DoD RFID Policy WHO is affected by DoD RFID policies? WHAT do the policies cover? WHEN does the implementation take effect?

  8. WHO is Affected ? • ALL DoD suppliers of ALL material and goods purchased by the Department • Excludes bulk commodities (sand, gravel) • Commodity assessment underway

  9. WHAT does the policy cover ? • Active RFID • Freight containers and consolidated air pallets • Passive RFID • Cases, pallets and packaging on UID items • EPC compliant technology

  10. Supports COCOM Directive Authority For Logistics Active RFID Policy • Immediately implement active RFID in support of in-transit visibility requirements • Tags on freight containers and consolidated air pallets • Establish RFID infrastructure to support core business processes • Must be standard way of doing business! • Enhance Asset Visibility, even in austere environments • Reduce Logistics Footprint • Hands-Off Data Capture • Improve Force Tracking • Optimize Transport/Logistics Assets

  11. Active RFID – Continuing Support for Operations • Continuing support for infrastructure in Iraq • Supporting OIF II Rotation • I MEF Deployment at Camp Pendleton and 29 Palms, CA • Tagging 250 containers of materiel • Tagging 75-100 pallets of unit equipment • USMC sustainment materiel will flow through central point for consolidation and tagging

  12. Reduced Total Ownership Costs Passive RFID • Implement passive RFID Business Rules - 1 Jan 05 • Tags on cases and warehouse pallets • Tags on packaging on Unique Identification (UID) items • Establish initial DoD capability to read and apply passive RFID tags • Publish DFARS Rule requiring passive RFID • Solicitations issued after 1 OCT 04 for delivery after 1 Jan 05 • Use EPC compliant technology • Integrate RFID data into the DoD Business Enterprise Architecture

  13. Passive RFID Tag Data • Accept EPC data constructs for unique ID on the Tag • SGTIN for UID item packaging • SSCC for box, case, and pallet • Working with EPCglobal on acceptance of organizational naming conventions (CAGE, DUNS, DODAAC) • Working with EPCglobal on designation of DoD UID as an EPC data construct DoD will only accept EPC compliant technology

  14. WHEN does Implementation take Effect ? • Active RFID – Operational; Implementation Continuing • Passive RFID • DoD – Implementation underway now • Suppliers –Effective Jan 2005 for all new solicitations issued after October 1, 2004 for delivery of materiel on or after January 1, 2005.

  15. Passive RFID Initial Implementations • Technology Demonstration • Combat Feeding Global Asset Visibility • Operational Implementations • FISC Norfolk Ocean Terminal • Individual Protective Equipment (IPE) • Planned Implementation Projects • Strategic Depot to Operational Unit • Electronic Military Shipping Label (MSL)

  16. Combat Feeding TechnologyDemonstration GOALS: • Track Class I supplies in a simulated end-to-end supply chain at carton level • Use sensors to track temperature variations and calculate remaining shelf life • Track demand rates via the web STATUS: • Technology Demo completed in Feb • Build pallet • Load container • Issue to unit

  17. Combat Feeding Technology Demonstration VENDOR DLA/DSCP Funded Requisition DDC 001101010 001010101 POE / POD EPC: case/pallet 001101010 001010101 23-26 February EPC: pallet/container 00110101001010 00101010101011 EPC: container UNIT 001101010 001010101 GS 001101010 001010101 EPC: pallet/container DS EPC: case/pallet

  18. Norfolk Ocean Terminal GOALS: • Increase inventory accuracy during cross-docking • Eliminating hand-scanning when stuffing containers STATUS: • Operational for small packages • Expanding to all shipments • Using tag as transaction of record!

  19. Individual Protective Equipment (IPE) GOALS: • Automate Data Capture • Greater JSLIST Visibility • Reduced Materiel Handling STATUS: • Infrastructure in place • Materiel tagging began in March

  20. Strategic Distribution Center to Operational Unit GOALS: • Test passive technology across the supply chain • Increase inventory accuracy • Automate the receipt process STATUS: • Site surveys conducted • Pilot Design Underway

  21. Strategic Distribution Center to Operational Unit DLA Depot Read tags/receipt Write tags FISC Norfolk Read tags Camp LeJeune Supply Unit Read tags/receipt Overseas Customer Read tags/receipt

  22. Electronic Military Shipping Label (MSL) GOALS: • Improve efficiencies in in-transit processes • Enable mapping of content level data to shipments in existing ITV system STATUS: • Conducted site surveys • Development work underway

  23. Electronic MSL Distribution Centers/Air Bases Customer TMO/Supply/Theater Depots Port of Embarkation Port of Debarkation

  24. Passive RFID Locations Dover AFB, DE DDC Susquehanna, PA Norfolk Ocean Terminal, VA Camp Lejeune, NC DDC San Joaquin, CA Blue Grass Army Depot, KY Ramstein AFB, Germany FT Hood, TX Pine Bluff Arsenal

  25. Early Lessons Learned • Visible and audible feedback to the user • Collateral Reads • Reading area needs to be isolated • Enclosure area mitigates problem • Spacers required on RF-unfriendly materiel • Business process changes key to success

  26. RFID Benefits in the DoD Supply Chain • DoD Business Processes • Facilitates Hands-Off Data Capture • Improves Data Accuracy • Enhances Asset Visibility • Downstream Derivative Improvements • Optimizes Transport/Lift Utilization • Reduces Logistics Footprint • Improves Manpower Utilization • Improves Force Tracking • Improves Logistics Processing Time • Enhances Interoperability with Industry

  27. DoD Next Steps • POLICY • Drafting DFARS Clause – Apr 04 • Publish revised RFID Policy – May 04 • Complete analysis of RFID initial implementations – Jun 04 • Publish Final RFID Policy – Jul 04 • IMPLEMENTATION • Publish proposed DFARS Rule for passive RFID – May 04 • Issue final DFARS Rule – Sep 04 • Solicitations issued after 1 OCT 04 for delivery after 1 Jan 05 • Use EPC Compliant technology – Jan 05

  28. Summary • Supporting Current Operations with Active RFID • Implementing Passive RFID • Finalizing EPC requirements • Developing final policy Sets the foundation for future supply chain improvements…TODAY!
