Product traceability and food safety (15 oct08)

ECR Asia-Pacific Conference Bangkok, October, 2008 “ Establishing Trust Through Traceability”

Contaminations and recalls are changing consumer perceptions and purchasing behaviors, and eroding consumer trust Source: IBM research, IBM survey of U.S. and UK consumers; Fortune, July 16, 2008
42% of consumers buy different brands today versus 2 years ago … because they are looking for safer products
47% are more concerned today about food safety than they were 2 years ago

Consumer confusion around the efficacy of new product health and wellness claims have also eroded consumer trust
82% ‘agreed’ that “claims made by food and drink products often exaggerated or unproven”
52% felt that ‘health boosting claims by food and drinks players were untrustworthy’

73% are skeptical at some level that branded food products deliver the health and wellness benefits advertised

… however a proliferation of corporate responsibility claims is only adding to the confusion and fostering distrust Carbon Footprint Crisps Carbon Neutral Beer WWF alleges tens of thousands of hectares of rainforest in Indonesian National Parks cleared to grow coffee Source: Brandweek, July 15, 2008; Financial Times, September 9 2006; Financial Times, January 17, 2007; www.CNNMoney.com "Ethical" coffee is being produced in Peru, the world's top exporter of Fairtrade coffee, by labourers paid less than the legal minimum wage.
40% of consumers are negative or ambivalent about media attention regarding our impact on environment
Only 13% of consumers believe companies adopt environmentally friendly practices because they care about the environment

Traceability systems can serve as that source of trusted information allowing CP companies to connect with concerned consumers, and realize other benefits Track Trace Source: Economic Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture Antibiotics Logistics Logistics Logistics Logistics Logistics Logistics Fertilizers Packaging Ingredients Logistics Logistics Ingredients Logistics Grocery Retailer Corn Farmer Cattle Rancher Distribution Center Beef Processor CP Manufacturer Track and trace products and risks within own four walls to isolate and prevent issues Compliance Ensure compliance with both individual retailer mandates and government regulations Brand Empowerment Become trusted source of information to the ‘Omni Consumer’. Empower brands to make new claims. Risk Mitigation Protection of brand through identification of risks and isolation of contaminated product Supply Chain Efficiency Accelerate product flows and reduce inventory levels through increased visibility to inventory and movements Trusted information The ability for each member of a supply chain to track the movement of ingredients, packaging, and products forward through the supply chain The ability for each member of a supply chain to trace the ownership and characteristics of ingredients, packaging and products backwards

Typically associated with food safety, most traceability systems today fall short of either protecting brands from recalls, or empowering them to make new claims
Traceability systems capture, store, access, aggregate and communicate product, supplier, customer, handling and processing information to:
Credibly support new marketing claims, and
Prevent, identify and isolate product contamination issues
Current Gaps / Shortfalls
Data:
Limited breadth and depth of information captured
Critical information not available across organization
Information not readily available to 3 rd parties
Data elements not standardized to facilitate sharing and comparison
Relevant data stored in disparate systems
Data collected not aligned internally (i.e., MES data does not align with ERP)
Organization / Culture:
Compliance driven mindset - only invest where necessary
Limited ability to track / trace outside own four walls
Downstream tracking capability usually stronger than upstream
Process:
Processes not standardized
Process steps not effectively monitored
Manual processes dominate data collection

To realize the Full Value Traceability opportunity CP companies need to move forward on four imperatives, starting by aligning their Traceability capabilities with the requirements of the brand Proactively engage with Traceability stakeholders 4
Recognize that Traceability is complex, strategic undertaking
Adopt an evolutionary path for of process, capability and tool development
Establish clear executive level and functional responsibility and sponsorship
Prioritize desired/required functionality leveraging assessment of current IT and Supply Chain capabilities, and product/brand risks and opportunities
Define Traceability vision, and create an roadmap Integrate the physical and informational supply chain Leverage Traceability to Protect and Empower the Brand
Embrace whole supply chain perspective
Identify stakeholders, define their Traceability related stake and develop engagement plans that drive alignment with company vision
Create a shared Traceability vision and development roadmap with vendors and suppliers
Leverage distributed, standards based architecture for data management
CP companies need to effectively and efficiently move product, and capture, manage and communicate data about product(s) and their movements
Establish one version of the truth for customer, product and supplier data
Automate collection, analysis, and communication of data
1 3 2
Develop deep understanding of target ‘Omni Consumers’
Establish fact-based understanding of product/brand attribute risk elements
Prioritize traceability requirements within existing product portfolio
Define traceability requirements within new product development pipeline
Ensure traceability investments deliver capabilities that support the brand

Full Value Traceability systems capture, a) product movements, b) attribute changes, and c) processing activities across and within the supply chain Antibiotics Logistics Logistics Fertilizers Packaging Ingredients Logistics Ingredients Logistics Data Data Data Data Data Data Each company maintains its own product information and record of transactions, making that information available on a permission basis to stakeholders Virtual Traceability System Track and trace products and risks within the four walls to isolate and prevent issues Logistics Logistics Logistics Logistics Logistics Grocery Retailer Corn Farmer Cattle Rancher Distribution Center Beef Processor CP Manufacturer Transaction & Historical Data Firewall Firewall Firewall Firewall Firewall Firewall Firewall Data security maintained via encryption, restricted password access, etc… Rapid communication of essential data facilitated through open-standard software and adoption of industry ID standards

Creation of a virtual Traceability ‘ecosystem’ will accelerate realization of the Full Value Traceability opportunity Ecosystem Enablers Virtual Traceability ‘Ecosystem’ Consumers Shoppers Influencers Each stakeholder of the Virtual Traceability ‘Ecosystem’ plays a role empowering and protecting the brand Stakeholders with critical role protecting or empowering the brand Common Data Standards Distributed IT Infrastructure Protect & Empower Brand Direct Supply Chain Grocery Retailer Distribution Center Logistics Service Providers (LSP) Packaging Suppliers Creditors Advertising Agency Food Brokers Media Local Communities Co-Packers CP Manufacturer Beef Processor Cattle Rancher Corn Farmer Government Regulatory Agencies Trade Associations Auditors Insurers IT Service Providers Equity Analysts Non-Profits and NGOs Executive Sponsorship & Support

EPCIS: Enabling exchange of traceability information through global standards
System defined by GS1 for exchanging information on serialized items
Developed for RDIF technology, can be used to exchange associated information
Does not require RFID tagging. Can store the serial number in a SGTIN on a bar code
Serialization can be at the item, case, pallet or container level
IBM’s RFID Information Center supports all the EPCIS standard protocols
Supported by leading companies such as Carrefour, Henkel, Kraft International, Metro Group, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Rewe Group
