MACRO CHALLENGES
• 18 design/manufacturing/assembly sites across the world
• Exchange rate pressures
• New aircraft programmes (A380, A400M, A350, A320 NEO)
• Production rate increases
• Power 8+ programme, EBIT pressures
• Clear focus on enterprise eco-efficiency
Constant pressure for continuous improvement and innovation

Why Increase Visibility? Why RFID?
Business Savings EBIT, Cash, Cost Avoidance
Visibility Information about working, not working
Measurability Where is it working, not working?
Improve the way of workingBusiness Process
RFID, Bar Codes etc. Accurate and efficient information
Quick winsthrough data automation
Long term winsthrough
continuous improvement
Improving visibility is a pre-requisite to improve the “way of working” and deliver business savings

Visibility, Measurability and SavingsThey are all connected
All business savings come from improving a “way of working” i.e. process
Level of visibility and measurability determines level of process improvement
RFID can help improve level of visibility and measurability savings
Improved Accuracy Control Efficiency of Processes
Improved Business Savings
Manual based visibility with low measurability (e.g. manual data entry)
Semi-automated visibility with increased measurability (e.g. bar code)
Automated visibility with high level of measurability (e.g. RFID )
The level of visibility and measurability determines the level of savings possible; RFID is an promising enabler to increase this level of savings

CROSSROADS & DECISION TIMEThe situation pre-corporate programme
Collection of 15 independent projects
Fragmented approach; multiple standards, solutions and vendor landscape
Creation of multi-function Auto-ID Steering Committee
Company strategy, consolidation and prioritisation of activities
Agreement to develop a harmonised approach and solutions for deployment
Analysis of benefits, pilot proof points, bottom up business cases, industrialisation
Selection of standard solutions and services for Airbus/EADS
Clear pull from internal/external customers ONE Airbus approach : it works!

Summary
Airbus recognises RFID as a key enabler for improving processes
Airbus is taking an integrated & end to end approach to the use of RFID across all business processes through a single corporate programme
Airbus is actively working with airline, supply chain and industrial partners to develop an approach that maximises benefits to all actors
Airbus is working with major industry players, standards bodies and authorities to ensure inter-operable RFID solutions
Airbus is using RFID as a BUSINESS RADAR to help build a DIGITALand FLY BY WIRE view of the supply chain and its business operations
