  2. Company Background • European aircraft manufacturer • Major delays completing its A380 • Implemented the biggest private sector RFID deal ever http://youtube/m2Dka1B1KVk?t=18s

  3. Business challenge • Airbus was looking for the way to: • increase productivity • reduce cost • make its production process more efficient.

  4. Technical solution • RFID • What is it? • Radio Frequency Identification • How does it work?

  5. Technical solution • RFID is using as a business radar • let (them) see what's going on faster and in real time so (they) can make the right decisions faster." (Gaudin, 2008)

  6. Technical solution • Airbus uses RFID in: Minimize unplanned maintenance and detect malfunction early Manage and reduce airline parts inventories Manage and reduce airline parts inventories Ensure that the correct part is being used in the right place Mechanics can access document, task, and parts data, and locate and track approved spare parts in real time Identify and track tool location, usage history, and repair requirements

  7. Technical solution result • a reduction in inventory, capital assets and stock reconciliations • increased labourproductivity • supplier monitoring • improved supplier delivery performance • reduce their costs of production, maintenance and inventory • reduced 8% incorrect deliveries

  8. 1. What are the drivers of the RFID project? Opportunities: • increase productivity • reduce costs • make its production process more efficient • Boeing Competition

  9. 2. Information technologies cited and related to implementation? RFID: • Software infrastructure • Readers • Tags Turban, E., & Volonino, L. (2009). Information Technology for Management. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons Inc.

  10. Airbus wins radio frequency identification (RFID) award Conference held April 16-18, Las Vegas, Nevada • won the best company RFID implementation award at the 2008 U.S. held April 16-18. • comprehensive approach to deploying RFID company-wide, its pilot & implementation results, and its focus on delivering quick value to the company and its value chain partners. http://www.airbus.com/newsevents/news-events-single/detail/airbus-wins-radio-frequency-identification-rfid-award/

  11. 3. What categories of people will be supported by the RFID? • An RFID is a system that transmits the identity of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves • RFID’s can be used for • Supply chain management • Membership admission/access control • Work in Progress (WIP) • Vehicle Tracking • Asset Tracking • The warehouse workers of Airbus will be supported by the implementation of RFID’s

  12. 5. What are the performance management implications? • Airbus implemented process-improvement projects involving RFID’s • Will help to track parts inside warehouse, as they move from one region to another, and as they are built into the aircraft • Because RFID’s cost more than $1 per tag, Airbus uses them only on rolling cages, pallets, cases, and high cost parts
