enters the facility, travels to the defective parts warehouse, then to a repair center, back to

a repaired parts warehouse, and finally exits the facility. These ingress and egress points

are starting points for candidate touch points.

Furthermore, consider the velocity and volume of asset identified at these touch

points. Velocity refers to the rate of asset identified at that specific point. This value

must be in parts per some time frame. The volume refers to the number of assets

identified at a given time and given point in the process. A depot facility typically does

some sort of cycle counting or inventory counting in an attempt to count some portion of

the inventory to reduce discrepancies between system inventory and actual inventory.

Some wireless technologies may aide in these activities. Identify the volume in these

situations. At other points, identify the velocity. The last step is to consider the benefits

and disadvantages of using the technology at the various touch point candidates. The

goal is to narrow down the candidate touch points, if possible, to identify the touch points

that would be best suited for the technology. Questions to ask when making a decision

are the following:

a. Is the volume or velocity at this point higher than at others?

b. Does the majority of asset needing identification pass through this point?

c. Is it an egress or ingress point?

d. Is it technologically feasible to implement the technology at this point?

e. Is it economical to implement the technology at this point?

The first and second questions aid in identifying those points that may be impacted

the most by the technology. The third question supports the first two. Ingress and egress

points are typically ideal locations for identifying assets. The third question refers back
