During the last few years, lean manufacturing, just-in-time inventory and new technologies have delivered considerable gains in supply chain efficiency and visibility for companies in a number of industries. Reduced lead times, improved shipment accuracy, better customer service and increased regulatory compliance are just a few of the benefits. But many companies that have invested in track & trace technologies, such as RFID, and visibility programs have yet to realize the full potential.
To convert visibility into business value and to optimize their supply chains, it is imperative that companies take a holistic approach. In this presentation, I will:
o Identifies core visibility and supply chain issues faced by companies in automotive, life sciences, consumer products, manufacturing, transportation, logistics and other key industries;
o Describes the six senses of visibility, how it relates to RFID, and why some senses are more important to your business than others;
o Provides a proven framework for designing the right solution based on business need and quantifiable ROI;
o Illustrates the necessary steps to create a clear and solid business case for investments in supply chain visibility tools and initiatives.

Friedman For Audio Discussion: http:// www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId =4600258 “Visibility into the movement of goods is vital to our customers' success … Our technology integration efforts are focused on enabling our customers to know, with a simple mouse click, if their shipment left Europe on a plane, or on a ship crossing the Pacific and when it was delivered by truck in Tianjin.” Dave Barnes, UPS's CIO, Sept 6 th 2006 at the fourth annual UPS Technology Summit “ Enterprises who are proactive and develop a Global Supply Visibility and Performance Program have had fewer disruptions, reduce inventory and have increased quality over companies that do not have such a program,” Sudy Bharadwaj, Sept 5 th 2006, Vice President of Aberdeen Group. 06/08/09 Key to RFID ROI: Exploiting the Six Senses of Visibility Page
