Air Cargo Community Frankfurt e.v. Competence Team - PHARMA Presentation of Results Optimization of the Ordering Process and the Information Flow April 24th, 2017
Optimization of the Ordering Process Objective / Value: For an increase in reliability of the whole transport chain the ordering process needs so be optimized by implementing a fast and full flow of information company-wide. Scope: Looking at information flow from forwarder to airline Audit of processing and transfer of information Measurement of temporal variance of information flow Approach: 1. Risk identification (state-analysis along the outbound process) 2. Risk analysis 3. Risk assessment 4. Risk monitoring See schedule Optimization of the Ordering Process and the Information Flow Moderator: Linda Sahm Slide 1

Introduction Optimization of Information Flow
Optimization of Information Reduce flow of information Direct communication Avoid unnecessary communication Improve informational content (quality and completeness) Remedy information leak Coordinate timing of information (time, place und availability) Ensure information documentation Information as a service (track & trace) Create information security Optimization of the Ordering Process and the Information Flow Moderator: Linda Sahm Slide 4
