2. RFID in the Lufthansa Technik GroupRFID directly on parts promises high potential
• Supporting on-board processesAircraft Configuration Management
• Supporting maintenance processesparts identification while installed and w/o line ofsight
• Supporting logistics processesproactive notification about upcoming parts
• Standardization of parts processessimplification of quality & certificatechecksliquidation of cross media transactions
