What Drives Traceability in Automotive

• Warranty
• TREAD Act

8
Growing Pain Around Warranty

• Automotive sector spending 1 to 3 of product
  revenue on warranty costs
• TREAD Act requirements are increasing visibility
  in this area
• NHTSAs TREAD Act requires Vehicle Manufacturers
  to more comprehensively track and report product
  issues to the Federal Government.
• And its not getting easier
• Frequent Model Introductions
• Increasing Product Complexity
• Time Intensive Root Cause Diagnostics
• Part and Platform Re-Use Grows

TREAD Act Reporting Highlights

• Far more reaching than just tires
• Focus is on Early Warning Reporting (EWR)
  requirements
• Heart of TREAD Act is traceability
• Reporting requirements are different if you are
  an OEM/tire manufacturer vs. a component
  supplier
• First reports were due to NHTSA December 1, 2003
• Severe civil and/or criminal penalties for
  failing to report information in a timely manner

B-4 Part Identification Tracking Application
Standard

• Tells you what to mark
• Addresses data fields, data identifiers, numerous
  symbologies (linear 2D), and provides
  definitions critical to this standard
• Specifications for both direct marking and
  labeling of individual parts, kits,
  assemblies/subassemblies

16
B-10 Trading Partner labels Implementation
Guideline

• Specifications for container and pallet labels in
  the shipment, transport, and receipt of parts
• Updated for 2004 to include Code 128 and 2D
  symbologies
• Revision also includes quick receive bar code
  label to allow entire truck shipment to be
  received by scanning one or two simple bar codes.

17
Revision to B-11 Tire Identification Standard

• Update of the AIAG B-11 Standard published in
  1994
• New B-11 Mission Statement To provide an
  electronic means of transferring data from the
  tire to anywhere it needs to go.
• Standard to include the ability to use both
  labels and RFID tags

B-11 TIRE RFID STANDARD

• This is the first RFID item level tracking
  application standard in the world
• The work group has just updated this document to
  allow for retail information (EPCglobal syntax.)
• Document could be modified to track any asset
  (Returnable containers, racks, engines,
  transmissions, etc.)

21
B-16 Global Transport Label Standard for the
Automotive Industry

• Global automotive labeling standard.
• Based on existing ISO, AIAG and Odette labels
• Spirit of cooperation with Odette and JAMA/JAPIA
• Mixed/Master label
• Allows for RFID

22
B-17 2D Direct Parts Marking Guideline

• How to mark recommendations
• Provides information for marking, verification,
  and reading of Data Matrix and QR Code symbols
  marked directly on parts
• Technologies addressed include laser, dot peen,
  and inkjet technologies
