Container Centralen
Get insight in crate movement
in the logistic chain

Container Centralen ( CC )
Pilot 2008
Largest pool manager of the Returnable Transport Items (RTI; e.g.
trolleys, trays) in the Netherlands
RTIs travel between whole store’s, distribution centers (DC’s) and the
stores
CC delivers RTI’s to all mayor supermarkets (C1000, Albert Heijn)
 CC’s business drivers,
 We want to improve our profitability by lowering
• Theft
• Counterfeiting
 Payment based on usage based model
Question at hand:
 Give us insight in the movement of crates in the logistic chain
In collaboration with

Proof of Concept
Movement of crates between three locations

Technology
RFID tags connected to the vegetable crates
Measure with RFID portals
at every location
RFID portal connected to
back-end systems

Resume impact of CC business question
• Training required for all logistics personell how to work with RFID readers
• Contracts with crate providers, adding RFID tags to crates
• All organizations in the logistics are required to place RFID readers and RFID middleware
• Container Centralen personell trained in making information from the Track&Trce data
• Hosting of software to external organizations
People
• Insight in the end-to-end movement of crates in the chain
• Track & Trace enables insight in theft, usage, cunterfeiting
Process
• Hardware : RFID Readers, RFID tags on crates
• RFID Middleware (EPCIS)
• RFID Discovery Service
• Track & Trace application
Technology

End result pilot (2008)
No follow-up after pilot
Shortly after end of pilot we entered the Financial crisis
Costs involved too high
 Every RFID tag 1US$ (2008)
 Every location placement of RFID readers
 Training of all personel involved in logistics chain

Questions for students
CC delivers crates to both C1000 and Albert Heijn, which are competing
companies. How to ensure those companies that data is safe and cannot
be seen by the competing companies?
What is the impact of a crate movement not registered?
What are the cost drivers of this solution
How does this solution impact the ‘people’ part of the solution
How do we recognize theft from the Track & Trace data?

Stedin
Work Order management for
placement of Smart Meters

Stedin Meetbedrijf
Stedin Meetbedrijf is responsible for servicing gas and
electricity meters for 2 million customers in the Netherlands.
(250 employees)
Main tasks are exchanging & installing meters &
collection of meter readings
Part of Stedin Netbeheer – Grid operator with 3 of the 4
largest dutch cities, highly urbanized area, including the port
of Rotterdam (1500 employees)
Part of Eneco Holding (5500 employees)
turnover: $ 7 billion

Rollout of smart meters
2007: Dutch government decided on obligatory rollout of smart meters
for every household by 2013, starting in 2009
Accurate billing
Meter reading (site visit or by customer) no longer needed
Insight in energy consumption
Saving of energy
More reliable electricity grids
2010: Bill passed to start with rollout on customer demand.
2012: Start of rollout on customer demand
2013: Evaluation of goals
2014: Possible start of complete rollout of smart meters
2020: EU goal: 80% of households smart meter installed

Business transformation 2006-2015
2006
100.000 site visits per year
involving meter exchange
Majority of the work:
•Maintenance
•Newly built housing
•50% done by internal
installation department
2015+
600.000+ site visits per year
involving meter exchange
Majority of the work:
•Smart meter installation
•10% done by in-house
installation department

Technology

End result project
Large roll-out of smart meters started
End-to-end work order management supported by processes and
automation
External service providers can be added relatively quick to the end-to-end
execution
 Agreement on information delivered back from service providers
 Agreement on financial handling
 Agreement on quality levels

Questions for students
What is the impact of a reading not executed by a service engineer?

What is the impact of adding new information for regulations purposes to
the landscape?

Summary
When looking at the impact of a business question, do not forget the
Why question
Change required by the business impacts
 People
 Process
 Technology
We’ve focused on the Technology part of the impact with the CORA
model
We’ve looked at two examples where impact was on all three areas
People, Process, Technology
