6 Supply Chain Visibility

7 Visibility of the container chain Logistics (efficiency) Challenges A lot of parties involved in door-to-door chains Different languages Different media Chain status data sharing is limited Security Challenges Those who have to report are partly not knowing what s in it Containers are anonymous boxes no-one can easily check what s in it (visibility of cargo) all parties have to trust in data and their quality Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 7

8 The Chain Perspective as is Tony Webster, Director Logistics of A.S. Watson Benelux : For lots of companies, the logistics chain is still a black hole. Because of that, they can only respond to deviations from schedule at a late stage. And that kind of last minute work always costs money. Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 8

9 Why Supply Chain Information Visibility? to make chains more transparent and predictable to enhance risk management Logistics risks Financial risks Security risks Fiscal risks to support different actors in performing their duties But not appreciated by everyone! Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 9

10 Supply Chain Visibility - Interoperability Aspects Technologies Processes Laws & Regulations Costs Agreements Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 10

11 The SCEM approach

12 Supply Chain Event Management SCEM Tracking & Tracing Manual check of different data sources Detection of deviations manually and by chance Useless OK replies Supply Chain Event Management Active process control Automatic detection of unexpected events Message only in case of disturbance Detection of deviations in an early stage Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 12

13 Most crucial issue in transport and logistics ETA Estimated Time of Arrival Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 13

18 Possible events/status messages BHV Port Tu 16:00 We 10:00 Track blocked Congestion We 13:00 HB Hub Vessel arrival delayed Container not on board Container not discharged Container not released Container damaged Vessel is not calling at BHV Container length, weight wrong Dangerous goods data wrong Too many containers for NTT Containers for NTT missing We 17:00 NTT too late, NeCoSS already left Too many containers for NeCoSS Wagons consolidated incorrectly Wagon group missing Th 05:00 Wagon out of order Nurem- Engine out of order Passau berg Personnel missing (e.g. driver) Th 08:00 Th 14:00 Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 18

19 Important items for the realisation Monitoring on two levels Identification of missing events Processing of unexpected events Integration with operative systems required How to get (automated und close to real-time) status events? Phone (drivers) EDI (port systems) Mobile PCs/Smartphones (drivers) RFID Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 19

20 SCEM for Inland Waterway Services

21 Objective Improving the Integration of Inland Waterway Transport into Intermodal Chains Better use of RIS (river information services) for logistics purposes New harmonised IT services Proactive monitoring of the transport chain: Automatic detection of deviations from plan: appropriate measures, i.e. reschedule Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 21

22 Scenario of IWT Events Fairway blocked Congestion Lock chamber closed Vessel arrived Container discharged Container released Vessel arrival delayed Container not on board Container not discharged Container not released Container damaged Container length, weight wrong Dangerous goods data wrong Water level too low Bridge clearance too low Discharge completed Barge departed in time Berthing plan postponed Barge arrived in time Post haulage as planned Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 22

23 Demonstration Case Goals Berth & Terminal Planning Reduce waiting times at terminals Reduce congestion Optimize terminal resource management Transport Planning Optimize fleet utilisation Reduce fuel consumption Promote IWT as transport alternative Transport Monitoring Increase transparency Detect deviations earlier Increase reliability Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 23

31 How to achieve Supply Chain Information Visibility? Integration of reliable sources Nearly all required information do exist somewhere but are not shared! Visibility Platforms can offer additional value Sensors RFIDs E-seals Container security devices Satellites Radiation portals Trust! SICIS Scanning data Platforms and Portals X-ray scanners Port Community Systems Tracking and Tracing portals Data Providers/ Users Port Authorities Shipping Companies Customs Authorities 3PLs/Cargo Owners Terminal Operators Inland Transport Operators Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 31

32 Container Security Devices (CSDs) Attach the CSD to the container Close the container door Assign and lock the container with a handheld device Short Sea 15 European Conference - Prof Dr Frank Arendt 32

36 Lessons Learnt

37 Lessons learnt SCEM is considered a powerful approach to optimise chain visibility Detecting deviations early will give the planner a time advantage to react Information is limited to the relevant facts, no overload Availability of up-to-date and accurate information is key Provision of these data is not a technical challenge Willingness to share data is essential (TRUST!) Automatic data capture (e.g. using AIS) has (still) legal restrictions Data ownership issues difficult to solve Willingness to pay for services is low Changing minds takes time!
