6 Session 3 Review Setup & Compliance 1. Understand the issues Are controls in place to identify your true asset loss rate? What are your general industry guidelines for loss? 2. Understand the available asset management systems Simple paper and pencil methodology to complex high-tech tracking systems 3. Develop the processes & KPIs necessary to create actionable/enforceable data 4. Obtain stakeholder alignment, educate the supply chain and implement a discipline to ensure compliance

7 1. Asset Identification Implementation Tag material and affixing Serialization and encoding Placement and orientation Size and/or read range Birthing process new & existing assets

8 Implementation 2. Transactions Types rec, ship, inspect, clean, content, damage, repair, etc. Point of capture & frequencies Processing & reporting 3. Capture methods Mobile vs. stationary Display Input & interaction Key vs. touch

9 Implementation 4. Exception Management Floor interaction & real time visibility Missed scans / reads Excess data & duplicates 5. Systems, Reporting & Bill-back Accountability Must be web-based to effectively involved the supply chain Reports clear & precise efficiencies vs. lost opportunities Reconnect stakeholder alignment with actionable data Financial aspect Penalties / incentives Agreements via procurement, sales or intercompany

10 New Regulations Driving Change What is FSMA? Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Effective January 4, 2011 Biggest food safety initiative in 70 years in the US Minimize risk by being proactive rather than reactive Provides FDA mandatory recall authority Requires additional record keeping for high-risk foods FDA directed to establish enhanced product tracing abilities Ensure imported products meet U.S. standards and are safe for U.S. consumers

11 New Regulations Driving Change What is HACCP? Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points Established mid-1990 s HACCP is a systematic approach to the identification, evaluation, and control of food safety hazards based on the following seven principles:** Principle 1: Conduct a hazard analysis. Principle 2: Determine the critical control points (CCPs). Principle 3: Establish critical limits. Principle 4: Establish monitoring procedures. Principle 5: Establish corrective actions. Principle 6: Establish verification procedures. Principle 7: Establish record-keeping and documentation procedures. ** sapplicationguidelines/default.htm

12 About DARIFAIR America s first national dairy supplier In industry for over 25 years Always looking for the most innovative best ways to serve their customers Works with products such as: Cream Potato blends Margarine Half & half Whole milk Started working with CAPS in 2004

13 Problem CHALLENGE Increasingly stringent food safety regulations requiring the detailed data capture and recording of information collected at critical points throughout the supply chain drove Darifair to investigate solutions that would allow them to stay ahead of the curve. B L BOTTOM LINE Darifair wanted to leverage technology to automate the capture, recording and transmission of critical supply chain data, while receiving instant notifications of any errors. SOLUTION See next page

14 New Regulations Driving Change How can a tracking system help? Automate the capture, recording and transfer of data Standardization and accuracy are key Eliminate manual processes and room for human error 24/7 Access to data and reports Capture critical data including: Temperature and weight PO #s Safety seal #s Scanner operating user data Loading/unloading data
