FREIGHTWISE starting points

• Timely and correct information is a vital part of
  any logistic solution
• Internal IT management systems are developing
  rapidly
• Advanced Information exchange between
  organisations is still complicated
• Standardised solutions are missing
• Technology is not the major issue
• Organisational and commercial issues is more of a
  problem
• Advancing inter-organisational communication
  requires some basic rules of the game -
  interaction infrastructure to support the
  physical infrastructure.
• Providers of such interaction infrastructure
  are/could be
• Standardisation bodies
• European and national initiatives
• FREIGHTWISE supports Commission initiatives in
  cooperation with the industry

FREIGHTWISE supports supply chain management

• SCM is the integration of key business processes
  from end user through original suppliers, that
  provides products, services and information that
  add value for the customer and other stakeholders
  (Global Supply Chain Forum)
• SCM consists of the following elements
• The stakeholder structure - The member firms and
  their relationships
• The business processes - the value adding
  activities
• The management components
• physical and technical
• managerial and behavioural

  (FRS) according to Directive 2002/59/EG
• Telematic Applications for Railfreight as part of
  Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of
  the trans-European rail system.
• A proposal for Harmonised River Traffic
  Information Services in Directive COM 2005/44/EC
• An ongoing initiative to develop a harmonised
  system for electronic fee collection for road use
  till 2009

  transport.
• Customs and e-government
• Aim. Integration of state of the art technologies
  and procedures to simplify administrative

  architecture and demonstrate particular business
  oriented implementations

• A concept for handling a virtual transport
  network, i.e. defining and managing chains or
  chain instances composed from the VTN
• A VTN node format with all necessary and
  sufficient parameters for advertising transport
  services (e.g., company-internal, on a trusted
  partners level, or open)

• A set of issues relevant to stakeholder
  co-operation and transport service integration
  (ETA monitoring, information transparency,
  confidentiality, security, etc)
• An inventory of information objects used by
  stakeholders (tools, documents, methods etc)
  expressing requirements per issue (e.g. a
  contract expressing liabilities, or a track
  trace function expressing decision making
  parameters needed)
