TRANSPORT SYSTEMS - Presentation

In a multi-business and also multi-entities context, in order to handle mono or multimodal, national or international transports, a strong and integrated information system has to federate these various businesses and entities around common concepts, to share information and to make processes more fluid, such are the main objectives of the project aiming to modernize the \"Transport\" information system of the AREVA Group. From transport order recording, up to real-time follow-up of this transport during its execution, through freight forwarding, fleet management (casks and associated equipments, transportation means as trucks, wagons), risk analysis of transportation schemas, preparation of the useful documentation in case of crisis and organization of the truck drivers missions, such is the functional scope of the project. Among the business stakes linked to this project, we can quote: • consolidation of the control of radioactive materials transport for the whole AREVA Group (and more generally transports of dangerous goods), in particular by generalizing the transports oversight, • industrialization of crisis management processes, • support of AREVA Logistics Business Unit development while contributing to a high level of competitiveness, • “distribution” of best practices in the field of radioactive materials transports (and more generally transports of dangerous goods) to the whole group. Considering the international dimension of the project, ergonomics of the software solutions must be particularly looked after: the tool must remain easy to use while being flexible enough to adapt itself to the various scenarios. Furthermore, in case of international transports, actors of various entities can be brought to share centralized, reliable and secured data. Finally, regarding its transversal nature, this project is also a “business project” by whom actors of various profiles will have to share processes and “business objects” (transportation schemas, transport files, suppliers, casks, etc.).
