MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Smart Connected Supply Chain

Description

Come share your experiences, stories, questions, and what you have learned in a safe, non-commercial environment. We seek to understand the state-of-the market, understand what companies have done that has or has not worked, documenting questions that MESA and the community can help answer. Overall, the goal is to accelerate each participant’s learning and progress toward Smart Manufacturing. 

Topic:  End-to-End Product Genealogy, Traceability and Security

Manufacturers in all regulated industries and customers in many other industries require a full history of each product. Increasingly, the entire supply chain ecosystem must be involved in this to get an accurate product genealogy. Yet partner data is outside your company. And your product IP may be tied up in some of these fundamental traceability needs.

• Are requirements for traceability and genealogy changing for your company?
• How do you select and establish trust with suppliers and customers for this?
• Who has responsibility to ensure that all information from all suppliers is correct and available?
• How do you ensure security of the genealogy? What are the processes and technologies involved?
• Are you using blockchain or other secure multi-party technologies for this data sharing?
• How do you ensure smaller players in the ecosystem can participate effectively?
• How far are you in the journey to trusted traceability with security across your supply chain ecosystem?
