RFID as an enabler for efficient supply chain processes

OBS! ANSÖKNINGSTIDEN FÖR DETTA EXJOBB HAR LÖPT UT.
Volvo Logistics has together with Trafikverket and Green Cargo set up an infrastructure to automatically, through RFID, capture data related to rail wagon movements.
This is done in order to enable process quality improvement and redesign. Initially the process to leverage from this RFID set up is the invoicing process connected to one of the train set ups for a major Volvo external customer.
The next step in this work is to take an initial look at the flows and processes occurring in the relation between different Volvo sites and how to best leverage on the enhanced information flow.

The assignment is to investigate how the capture of information on rail wagon movements through RFID technique can enable more efficient supply chain processes and information sharing between actors in the supply chain.
Volvo would like to know how this set-up should look like in the defined pre-determined flow within the Volvo Group. The assignment would be a part of a bigger project within Volvo and would feed the project with input.

Main activities:
Document current set-up and characteristics in the:
• Physical flow
• Administrational processes
• Information flow
Give proposal for future set-up and document what effects this would lead to (economic impact, quality impact, process impact, system impact)

The exact contents of the thesis will be set together with the students.
