2. PREVIOUS SCENARIO AT HAVELLS
• MANUFACTURING:
Manufacturing takes place at
different production lines.
• PACKAGING:
It was a challenge to synchronize
the motors and their blades
during the packaging process
• REJECTION RATE IS HIGH:
Rejection rate is 3.5% on account
of production mismatches.
Manufacturing
(4 types of fans-56
inches, 48 inches,
36 inches and 24
inches)
Packaging
(Wrong
combination of
different blades
and motors having
same colour)

3. IMPLEMENTING RFID TECHNOLOGY
• INTEGRATION:
Havells integrated the barcode and mobile reader technology with
SAP production orders and warehouse management
functionalities.
• CHILD BARCODE:
Final item code detail acting as common link between motors and
blades.
• PACKAGING STAGE:
SAP’s warehouse management functionality helps pickers picking
related material as they need to be placed in separate areas.

4. BENEFITS
• SAVED MANPOWER:
Saved the tedious task of checking 1,250 fans a day.
• SAVED MONEY:
Havells managed to save on annual replacement costs of Rs 2.18
crore.
• INCREASED BRAND VALUE:
By shrinking field rejections, and saving dealers from
embarrassment in front of customers.
