Where, when and how your company can benefit from RFID
Insights into the potential ROI of each application
How To Deploy: A Method for Evaluating RFID's Potential
Germany's MTU Aero Engines, one of the largest aircraft engine manufacturers in the world, developed a process- and knowledge-based analytical model. The company has used this model to identify potential RFID applications throughout its supply chain and determine the best one to implement this year. Speaker:
Knowledge of how one company evaluated potential apps
Executive Strategy: Getting Buy-in From Top Management
Having an RFID strategy isn't worth much if it is not supported by the CEO and other top executives. In this session, our panel of early adopters discusses how to get funding and support from the highest levels of your company. Speaker:

Insight into how other project leaders got support
Strategies for putting forward the case for investing in RFID
Defense/Aerospace: Finding Internal ROI From RFID
Spirit AeroSystems, a 76-year-old former division of Boeing, uses RFID internally to tag parts, track work in process, and automated decision-making (informing workers which process to perform as parts are scanned). Its next goal is to find ways to integrate RFID with its suppliers and vendors to achieve benefits for all. Speaker:
Debbie Fogg, RFID Project Manager, SPIRIT AeroSystems
Takeaways:
How to integrate RFID data on work in process with legacy systems
Benefits of tracking of parts work in process with RFID
Manufacturing: RFID and Six Sigma Manufacturing
Many manufacturers already have Six Sigma projects well under way. Instead of seeing RFID as cost and burden placed upon the company by an customer, manufacturers should link their RFID and Six Sigma efforts to reduce defects and improve efficiencies. Speaker:
Best practices for reducing manufacturing defects with RFID
Strategies for linking Six Sigma and RFID projects
Health Care/Pharmaceutical: The Benefits of Standardized EPC Data Formats
Sharing data over the EPCglobal Network is critical to enabling track and trace, e-pedigrees and other applications in the pharmaceutical and health care industries. This session reveals the work being done to develop standardized data formats and how they will drive benefits for manufacturers, wholesales, retailers and health care providers. Speaker:
Best practices for reducing manufacturing defects with RFID
Strategies for linking Six Sigma and RFID projects
Transportation/Logistics: RFID Standards for Freight Transportation in North
America—Peeling Back the Confusion
There is a clear mismatch between developing ISO RFID standards for international intermodal freight applications and North America's de facto RFID standards related to highway freight transportation. Current and developing North American approaches to Dedicated Short Range Communications differ in important ways from ISO approaches to RFID for containers in international trade. Our panel outlines the main approaches and opens a dialog on the implications and on ways to move forward. Panelists:
George Cavage, Dir. of Strategy & Tech., American President Lines
Ron Char, Program Manager, Transportation & Border Security,
