16. Project Objective
• A comprehensive solution eliminate inefficiencies from
supply chain & logistics activities.
• Visibility and traceability across the project site/lifecycle
for better decision making
• Automation on the material handling & Inventory management.
• Minimize paperwork & dependency on people.
• Improve people & project safety.
• Improve service level to client &
on time project completion.
22. Visibility over Inventory
Challenges:
Solution – Auto inventory
Benefits:
Updates & entries are manual, prone to errors and not frequent
Tracking & tracing a product manually is time consuming
Delayed & inefficient project operation
Frequent out of stocks, need to maintain more stocks due to lack of visibility
RFID technology can be employed for automated inventory management at the contractor &
Project sites
Equipment & Material Tagged with RFID , RFID readers with GPRS/WI-FI connectivity
The system is constantly updated with the whereabouts of the equipment & material at every
node in the project supply chain
Electronic, real – time & accurate inventory data
The solution can be feature extended into a WMS, primarily having production threshold at
manufacturer level & orders at contractor & project site level depending on present inventory
26. Order / Delivery management
Challenges:
Solution – Supplier Collaboration:
Benefits:
No collaborative planning with the suppliers, Contractor & Project Manager
No POD, authentication & confirmation of material reached at project site
Delayed delivery of material to the project site.
Frequent out of stock, Maintenance of extra inventory
High shipment error rates, Project site & material delivered mismatch.
Web based solution that handles order management, processing of orders, delivery of product,
shipping notices and invoices (NOVIPOD)
Collaboration pre-empts errors & facilitates effective transaction management between
suppliers, Contractor & Project Manager along the supply chain.
Purchase orders can be extracted & processed through software such that the transactions
are seamless & speedy
Decisions can be made proactively, to avoid supply chain issues around shipping, distribution
& deliveries
Shipping notices & invoices can be handled systematically providing better visibility
29. Project Operational Inefficiencies
Challenges:
Solution – RFID for Plant Synergy and Efficiency :
Benefits:
Disorganized movement of material & people into the project site
No visibility of people / operations within the project
Manual searching is labor intensive & security compromised.
Delay in project process due to material & people not present at right time.
Completely automated system using RFID technology & system to track people in different area
of site engaged in process & manage it efficiently.
Increased workflow speed & efficiency in operations
Real – time in – site tracking
Theft prevention & Perimeter security
Locate people in case of need & control access to restricted areas
Policy enforcement
31. Locating & Remote Monitoring of Heavy Equipments
Challenges:
Solution – RFID for Plant Synergy and Efficiency :
Benefits:
Staff hours spent locating equipment & time spent maintaining equipment log books
Unsafe equipment operation leading to more accidents & increased company liability
Unnecessary maintenance based on arbitrary schedules & Idle assets not being used
Bogus claims for overtime & Fuel theft
Completely automated system using RFID /GPS technology in combination with GSM/GPRS
services for send & receiving heavy equipment performance details & whereabouts.
Report on start & stop times for accurate billing or bidding on new work.
Stay on top of preventative maintenance with accurate usage details & automatic service alerts.
Uncover fuel theft & Bogus overtime by monitoring usage compared to expected consumption.
More successful bidding on new contracts with accurate costing
Faster recovery of stolen assets
