Supply Chain Information Visibility Prof. Dr. Frank Arendt Universitätsallee 11-13 28359 Bremen, Germany
The Chain Perspective should be Logistics networks require information networks Up to date and precise data are required Electronic communication during the whole process 2
The Chain Perspective as is Information is scattered, outdated, inconsistent, do not match Everyone has his / her information, hardly any data sharing Cargo nodes such as ports are also information nodes (but not supporting chains and networks) Parts are covered by EDI and web services but use of different media is common 3
Limited visibility www.kuestenblog.de 4
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 5
Win-Win Situation? How to integrate security and logistics aspects into one approach being acceptable for all stakeholders? Cargo Owners/3PLs (Customs) Authorities Logistics Security Supply Chain Visibility 6

How to achieve Supply Chain Information Visibility? Integration Nearly all information do exist somewhere! Legacy systems, Port Community Systems, Platforms, etc. RFID, CSD, AIS tracking add value Data models and reference models e.g. WCO Data model, FREIGHTWISE model, EDIFACT and XML messages and implementation guides But: designed for different purposes Services Trust! e.g. web services, EDI services 8
