Internet technologies such as web applications are giving rise to a new economy and have already radically altered the retail industry. They are now being introduced into every aspect of the automotive business. - Alex Preston CEO, ANX History ANX, an information super highway infrastructure company, was funded and endorsed by big three automakers. The automakers in mid 1990s wanted to collaborate with the specific goal of creating a platform to define uniform standards for applications, common to all the auto manufacturers such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) , Computer Aided design and manufacturing etc. A common infrastructure platform was expected to bring considerable savings by enhancing application speed, data integrity and also by fostering stronger relationships with other players in the value chain i.e., component suppliers and manufacturers. Potential savings by integrating EDI platforms alone was expected to bring savings of $1 billion a year (approximately $71 per vehicle). ANX currently receives revenues from two main sources, SAIC the parent company and usage fees from trading partners. In calendar year 2001, ANX revenues were $8.1 million. Revenues for calendar year 2001 and 2002 are expected to be $24 million and $56 million respectively. ANX currently has 200 employees and expects to break even by calendar year 2002. ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 18 Project Background The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) is a non-profit consortium whose goal is to improve business and technical processes and set standards for the automotive industry. In 1994, AIAG produced a paper recommending that the auto industry create unified network architecture based on TCP/IP. Subsequently, a team of Trading Partners (TPs) began meeting at the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) to develop a business-oriented network service based on Internet protocols. From this mission, the Automotive Network eXchange (ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12), a leading-edge extranet service for auto industry was born. The ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Project was launched in December 1995. The project stemmed from the AIAGs endorsement earlier that year of the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) as a data communications standard for the auto industry. The ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 network is a secure, business-quality data communications network that links automotive suppliers and OEMs electronically over a single connection. The goal of the project was to develop an implementation plan for data communications links between trading partners to facilitate the highest degree of security and privacy for mission-critical data. AIAG hired Bellcore (Telcordia Technologies) to be the overseer of ANX. Bellcore established a range of quality-of-service (QOS) metrics to meet AIAGs goals, and certified the service providers that would provide the ANX service under a competitive service model. The ANX automotive industry service went into full operation in November 1998. The major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), GM, Daimler-Chrysler, Ford, Toyota North America, Caterpillar, Navistar and Paccar are key participants. Of the top 150 parts supplier, 2/3rd are ANX registered. Of the TPs, 85% are American and 15% are Canadian. ZYTEK the first European TP, joined ANX network recently. In December 1999, Science Applications International (SAIC) parent company of Telcordia Technologies -- purchased ANX from AIAG. SAIC established a separate subsidiary, ANXeBusiness, to manage the ANX service and market it to other industries. Alex Preston was hired as the CEO of the new entity. ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 18 Service Overview ANX service is a high service quality, high security IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) designed and operated to meet the needs of TPs (See Exhibit 1 for ANX Service Network). It is the sole global IP based VPN service for the auto manufacturers. An ANX CSP provides the facilities to support the connection of TPs to the ANX network. The security of data transmitted on that connection is supported through the use of industry standard devices that support data integrity, encryption, and user authentication via use of digital certificates (See Exhibit 2 for ANX Service Security). The ANX CSPs are interconnected through the use of ANX CEPOs. ANX CEPOs support the exchange of traffic between different ANX CSPs and also control the routing of traffic through route server. An ANX Subscribed TP is a Trading Partner who has completed the ANX subscription process. The ANX CSP providing ANX service connectivity to the TP provides the IP address to the ANXO. ANX Service performs as though it is a single network, regardless of number of service providers. The use of a multi-provider IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides key benefits to the TPs in terms of encouraging price competition while ensuring Quality of Service (QOS) certification requirements. Telcordia Technologies certifies the CSPs and the security gateway vendors. Currently there are seven CSPs: Ameritech, AT&T, Bell Nexxia (in Canada), Equant, Ideal Technology Solutions, Ipulsys and MCI. Other CSPs are to be certified soon. Eight IPSec gateway vendors have been approved: Alcatel, Axent, Check Point, Cisco, Network Associates, Nortel, Radguard, and VPNet. ANX requires each CSP to adhere to a demanding Service Level Agreement (SLA). The CSPs must provide reports to Telcordia Technologies on their adherence to QOS metrics and Telcordia also monitors the performance of CSP from its own network operations center (NOC). A CSP must comply with a total of 130 technical and business metrics across eight areas of service quality as indicated below. Network Service Features - e.g. 24 X 7 NOC, customer help desk Interoperability - Connectivity to any TP, CSPs connected to each other via exchange points Performance - e.g. packet latency <= 125 milliseconds, packet loss rate <= 1/1000, dial-up blocked calls < 5% Reliability - e.g. network availability should be 99.97% Business Continuity and disaster recovery redundancy for NOC, disaster recovery plan Security blocking of spoofed packets, integrity of network hosts and infrastructure Customers care Help desk 9 hours/days for 5 days a week, service activation <= 4 hours after equipment is in place. Trouble handling 24 x 7 help desk, dispatch delay to customer premises <= 8 hours Factors in Business Case Analysis Suresh Joseph, a telecommunications analyst at Frost & Sullivan, points to the ANX Network, a VPN used by the automakers and their suppliers for online procurement that may save $1.1 billion annually, and says that other industries will follow suit. "Business-to-business e-commerce will be improved by VPNs," he says. "It's simple: they cut down the cost of sales and lower the overhead of order processing and procurement." Potential direct savings from using ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service include: Consolidation of multiple communications links to individual trading partners Elimination of contract, billing, network management, equipment maintenance, and floor space overhead associated with multiple connections Elimination of transaction-based charges for the connectivity portion of value-added services Potential opportunities to reduce the cost of cross-border traffic (initially between the US and Canada; elsewhere as ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service expands globally) Partial replacement or implementation of a corporate network using ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service rather than private lines Reduced need for multiple providers to reach geographically-dispersed trading partners Reduced need for testing compatibility of multiple services and technologies through the use of standardized infrastructure Indirect savings, not as easily quantifiable but potentially even more dramatic, include: Ability to carry out business strategy more effectively by deploying electronic processes over existing ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 standard infrastructure Ability to service new customers more quickly and efficiently and minimize the use of manual processes because the communications infrastructure does not have to change Ability to support strategic partnerships more readily Studies performed over the last few years reveal the potential benefits of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service. Potential savings of $1 billion a year ($71 per vehicle) could be realized by integrating Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) throughout the entire supply chain. (Refer to Table 1). Such savings can be achieved because TP business processes would be automated throughout the entire supply chain, shortening the order-to-delivery process and boosting inventory turns. As Table 1 illustrates, if ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service can accelerate MAP deployment even slightly, ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 project time-adjusted rate of return (TARR) would approach 500 percent. In another example, industry analysts focusing on the use of Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replacement (CPFR) tools in the demand chain estimate cost reductions of as much as $1,200 per vehicle. Savings within the demand chain are achieved by speeding sales data to the manufacturer and suppliers, resulting in smaller inventories, faster delivery cycles, and reduced need for incentives. Finally, business cases developed for small, medium, and large TPs show a potential for cutting current communications costs in half, with medium and large TPs achieving full payback on their initial ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 investment in less than six months. ANX-related costs include: ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Overseer and AIAG fees ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12-certified service provider (CSP) fees Incremental security software for ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Training specific to ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 network services Systems integration services used to deploy ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 connections ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 network services are based on the premise that the auto industry has made a commitment to use Internet technologies, including Web-based applications and the underlying network language of the Internet - the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is assumed that new applications will use TCP/IP communications and that old application that do not will be updated or replaced. While the pace of adopting TCP/IP may affect the timing of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service deployment for some trading partners, migration to TCP/IP is not considered as a direct or indirect cost of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12. Refer to Exhibit 3 for specific case studies pertaining to cost savings attributable to ANX in specific industries. Fee Structure and Value Proposition ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service costs are expected to be competitive with those of single-provider VPN services. Even though plain Internet services would be inadequate for business-critical automotive applications, their typical prices (basic Internet connectivity are $2,000/month for T1 dedicated service, $1,000/month for 56kbps dedicated service, and $25/month for dial service) are used in this analysis to represent the cost of basic non-ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 connection services. Fee components of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service, with amounts expressed as a percentage added of this "basic non-ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12" cost and value to the customer delivered by each fee component are outlined below: AIAG fees - 7% of typical Internet connection: Management of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service as a single uniform business Representation of the voice of the customer to all stakeholders and providers Marketing and training services aimed at increased penetration and declining costs ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12Operation fees - 20% of typical Internet connection: Service quality management, including performance, reliability, and security Balancing technology possibilities against industry requirements Central services, including troubleshooting escalation Exchange Point fees - 2% of typical Internet connection: Predictable routing of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 traffic Dedicated location for centralized high-performance ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12-based services Service Provider premium - competitive percentage of typical Internet connection varying by provider: Standard service quality in the areas of: network services, interoperability, performance, reliability, security, business continuity, customer care, and trouble handling Competition The primary threat to ANX is the managed service providers (MSP). Also a secondary competition faced by ANX stems from on-line B2B exchanges set up by consortium of vendors whether in the packaged-goods, automotive, or chemicals industry that are in the process of linking suppliers with vendors independent of infrastructure providers. This has led some of the original backers of ANX from not realizing the full potential of ANX value added network for conducting their B2B e-commerce transactions. Genuity http://www.genuity.com/ This is a spin-off from GTE internetworking division and is a leading Internet infrastructure services provider that offers a Network Services Platform for its clients. Genuity's network platform combines its Tier 1 network with its full portfolio of managed Internet services, including dedicated, remote and broadband access, Web hosting and Internet security, to develop a platform for creating scalable and repeatable managed eBusiness solutions. Genuity has annual revenues of more than $1 billion with around $800 m in cash. , Genuity (NASDAQ: GENU) is a public company and has global offices and partnerships throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America. Global Crossing http://www.globalcrossing.com/ The company provides integrated telecommunications solutions over the world's most extensive global IP-based fiber-optic network, reaching five continents, 27 countries and more than 200 major cities. Global Crossing serves many of the world's largest corporations, providing a full range of managed data and voice products and services. In addition to providing connectivity to customers across the world, the company also provides complex Web hosting capability and its worldwide resources through its Global Center. Global Centers data centers are geographically distributed and are designed to ensure high availability and performance for customers. The data centers are physically located in major metropolitan business centers and are integrated with the Global Crossing IP network infrastructure, making data centers "On Net" all the time. "On Net" data centers are built to specifications that include, 24x7x365 monitoring, temperature control, fire suppression, UPS/generators, backup power, ramming ballards, hand scanners, surveillance cameras and secured racks and cages. Other managed service providers such as Exodus with its acquisition of Global Center in January 2001 are also considered to be significant competition. The Issue The idea of the ANX Network is certainly compelling. It would replace costly and redundant proprietary networks between automakers and suppliers with a single information network that had guaranteed performance, centralized administration, standards-based network-level security, and the reliability of a virtual private network. As an incentive to the major automakers and their suppliers, the ANX Network is supposed to support the industry-specific enterprise resource planning applications that they already used, including those for computer-aided design, parts billing, and just-in-time delivery. If ANX roll-out all had gone according to plan, it would have extended its reach to other industries, including possibly the steel, health care, and electronic appliance sectors. The plan ultimately had as many as 8,000 trading partners in the automotive industry alone, according to Abner Germanow, an analyst with the IT research firm. These promises haven't even come close to fruition. Only about 850 trading partners have subscribed to the system so far; it's too expensive for many of Detroit's smaller, second-tier suppliers to acquire the networking expertise that the system requires. ERP systems of a variety of suppliers are not at the same high level as the Big Three automakers', and the cost of upgrading them has proved to be conceivably out weigh any savings the system might allow the trading partners. A variety of reasons can be attributed for this lack of shift from big auto manufacturers (a) Insufficient industry buy-in. Even worse for ANX, several automakers, including Ford and GM, have established their own initiatives to speed up product design and communication with suppliers. Without the big automakers supporting the ANX Network, there are no compelling incentives for trading partners to join (b) Misperception about independent market makers such as ANX along with failure to offer industries what they really need in a infrastructure platform - a way to automate current trading practices. "The industry players confuse our business with Covisint. This is wrong. Covisint is a B2B e-commerce application company. Whereas ANX is a neutral third party network provider that allows products like Covisint to run faster states Jim Michels, VP of Marketing at ANX. (c) Auto manufacturers resistance to get a third-party such as ANX in the way of that relationship. (d) Unavailability of off-the-shelf offerings from companies such as Ariba, Commerce One and i2 Technologies on ANX network, that will allows public exchanges to be customized for the needs of individual industries. The recent decision of Comdisco to exit from the managed services market clearly serves as a warning to those vendors running for the gold rush in the MSP market claim analysts from Gartner research group. Gartner Dataquest claims that it takes more than a shiny network operating center and web access to management reports for success in the MSP space. MSPs and traditional managed network services must: Manage the costs of their platform and developers Condition and educate the market to increase installation base Create an organization that can draw from a set of practices and "secondary skillsets" (such as vertical expertise; financial and retail, carrier expertise) Approach the service provider and carrier organizations as new channels to market rather than as competitors. You are Alex Preston, President and CEO of ANX. With the current tough market environment for eBusiness service providers, what is your strategy for ANX going forward: A list of question that you will need to consider: What should the ANX strategy be for global expansion? Specifically, with its envious list of TPs, what are the strategic marketing and tactical steps that ANX can undertake to increase its reach to Europe and Asia? How can ANX consolidate its position in automobile industry? What specific areas should you focus on and why? Within the industries and companies that already have the ANX Network, what other ways do you ANX can increase its service and product portfolio? How will the dynamics of dedicated homogeneous services versus differentiated heterogeneous services factor in for ANX? Are there additional value-added services ANX needs to focus on?

A private network that uses the shared public internet to carry an enterprises private traffic, using software or hardware encryption to keep the data secure. Exhibit 1: ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 10 Network Conceptual View  EMBED Word.Picture.8  Exhibit 2: ANX Security Standards The ANX network is designed to incorporate industry standard security technologies. ANX Security is composed of three complementary components; ANX Certified IPSec devices; Public Key Infrastructure; and secured networks. IPSec Devices ANX Security is based upon an industry standard for security, IPSec. These IPSec security devices provide authenticity, i.e., the receiver can confidently trust the identity of the sender. They provide privacy, ensuring the data cannot be read in transit between sender and receiver. Lastly, they ensure the integrity of the data; the data cannot be tampered with while in transit. Because these security devices operate at the networking level, they enable all applications to be secured on the network; they are, however, compatible with diverse mechanisms of application specific security. Public Key Infrastructure ANX Security incorporates Public Key Infrastructure, which brings additional security functionality to the environment through the use of digital signatures and encryption. Authentication ensures the identity of the sender of the transmission. Confidentiality ensures that only the authorized party reads the transmission. Nonrepudiation ensures that there is evidence to prove the sending and receipt of data, in the event of a disputed transmission. Additionally, a trusted third party manages the digital certificate environment, guaranteeing the identity of each Trading Partner. Potential savings to TPs with ANX security are Expenses48 hour production line shutdown @$215,000/hour$10,320,00048 hours overtime for 2,000 employees to make up for lost production $9,504,000PR disaster control for three months$600,000Emergency upgrades of 100 firewalls @ $10,000 per firewall$1,000,000Total$21,424,000 Exhibit 3: ANX Trading Partner Case Studies In an ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 environment, all trading partners will benefit from the rapid deployment of industry strategies that rely on data communications. Any estimates of the share of these benefits that individual trading partners would reap however would be speculative at best. Therefore, this section only attempts to quantify the savings that can be unambiguously attributed to each trading partners use of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service. The direct costs of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service vary by connection capacity. Indirect costs like training and systems integration will vary based on the particular trading partners situation, with larger companies training their own staff to implement ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 connections, and smaller companies relying more heavily on integrators. Large trading partners, who typically communicate with multiple customers and suppliers, stand to realize the greatest savings from the consolidation of redundant connections. Upper-tier suppliers will be able to establish connections to lower-tier suppliers more easily without having to develop their own OEM-like supplier access networks. They may also use ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service as a means to expand, replace or build corporate networks at lower costs. Of course, a supplier will initially experience a cost increase because legacy connections will exist in parallel with ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 connections for a short period of time. Also, suppliers working for a single customer may also experience higher costs initially, but these will decline over time due to competition and growth in the market for ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service. Smaller trading partners, which today either incur high costs to satisfy the communications requirements of a shifting customer base or resort to cumbersome manual processes, will be able to adopt electronic processes much more easily in an ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 environment. These trading partners stand to realize most of their benefits in terms of enabling factors such as increasing competitiveness, business agility, and the ability to acquire and serve new customers more quickly. The TP Case Studies presented below are based on actual implementation experiences by ANX Subscribed Trading Partners. Case Study #1 Dofasco Key Benefits:Faster exchange of EDI transmissions 50% drop in total operating cost of EDI transmissions due to flat fee structure More reliable EDI transmissions, improved supplier ratingCompany DescriptionA leading producer of flat rolled steel products, with annual revenues of $3 billion (CAD) and shipments of 4 million tons. Production Facilities are in Canada and the US. About 30% of products are sold to automotive sector. Challenge/ OpportunityDeliver EDI Advance Ship Notices (ASN) transactions to adjacent trading partners ahead of trucks carrying steel shipments. A store-and-forward EDI value-added Network (VAN) could not meet the 10-minute EDI transit time requirement.Solution(s)AN IP-based VPN, similar to ANX, was installed to exchange files directly via FTP.BenefitsThe initial VPN installation achieved operating cost savings of about 70% for EDI transmissions. Savings occurred because the VPN charges a flat monthly fee, independent of data volumes transferred, while VAN charges are tied to data volumes. ANX fees are charged in a similar way. Subsequent deployment of the VPN with the other trading partners achieved EDI operating savings of 100% each because no out-of-pocket expenses were required to link to these sites. However, the other trading partners incurred similar one-time installation and on-going monthly fees. One installation, with an OEM, replaced a proprietary dial-up link. Cost savings was minimal, but increased reliability of EDI transmissions resulted in a higher supplier rating for our company.Current/Future PlansCurrent work is focused on migrating all EDI transmissions from the VPN to ANX. This represents about 60% of our total EDI volumes, and illustrates the opportunity for even more savings as other VAN-based EDI transactions are migrated to ANX. Also, as some ANX-capable customers mandate additional EDI deployment, ANX will provide a cost-avoidance strategy (more data volume for the same flat fee). Dofasco is getting ready to deploy browser-based applications. In viewing the list of subscribed/registered Trading Partners, they found 7 of their 9 largest suppliers are/will be ANX subscribers. They will contact these companies to explore what applications to roll out next, and continue building their community of interest. Case Study #2 Methode Electric Key Benefits:Better able to meet customer requirements Higher productivity Reduced communication costs Company DescriptionA smaller Trading Partner, Methode is a designer and manufacturer of electronic switches, with locations globally. Tier 1 supplier to the Big 3. Challenge/ OpportunityThis company had only dial up capability, and was sending CAD data tapes via postal mail. Productivity was suffering. There was no Internet or Email access. They had been exploring solutions when their ISP introduced them to the ANX service Pilot, which was about to launch. Methode chose to participate in the Pilot. Solution(s)Since they had no previous networking capability, Methodes service provider was key to helping design and implement the ANX Connection. Strongly suggest you begin by determining file transfer requirements before determining bandwidth BenefitsHad only dial-up capability for communication to our customers. ANX dedicated connection provided an immediate improvement in productivity, due to increased reliability. The design process with our customers was greatly speeded up. Before, CAD files were copied to tape, and sent via postal mail. CAD files are now sent via FTP, and arrive in a matter of minutes, allowing us to better meet customer needs. Project a 50% savings on communications cost once ANX is fully implemented. Having Email facilitates communications with our suppliers, and customers. Current/Future Plans Migrate remaining applications to ANX network. Case Study #3 Chicago Rawhide Key Benefits:Standardization translates to reduced complexity of maintenance, management Cost avoidance Company DescriptionA manufacturer and distributor of sealing devices, facilities located globally. Tier-1 Supplier to OEM, as well as after market.Challenge/ OpportunityMaintenance of 12 different network connections was difficult and costly to manage. CAD files were sent as attachments to E-mail. An OEM had requested this company to connect to yet another private VPN, which required a separate T1 connection for each global location. Globally, the impact of having to have one-on-one connections with suppliers was huge.Solution(s)This company chose to implement an ANX connection, which would allow them global access to this new OEM application. In addition, this ANX connection would replace 6 existing VPN connections, with more to follow. CSP provided a great deal of assistance in bringing up the ANX connection. The CSP mapped out the configuration of the ANX connection, integrating it with the internal network. The CSP selected, set up, and implemented the firewall solution, as there was no internal IPSec experience. A turnkey solution from a CSP is strongly recommended. BenefitsThe ANX connection has allowed to extend the enterprise globally, with a real-time connection. The facility in Italy is able to send CAD data to Ford UK, via our ANX connection in the US. Connections to 12 different networks required various methods, scripting, and is overly-complex. ANX connection allowed us to reduce our total number of network connections by 50%. CAD files sent as email attachments, are now sent faster over FTP.Current/Future Plans95% of electronic commerce consists of EDI transactions. The current strategy calls for driving EDI down through the supply chain, beginning with Material Release and Shipping Schedules to the supplier. For the aftermarket, Purchase Orders / Purchase Order Changes are the priority. The EDI implementation will be rolled out to ANX as soon as our applications have been migrated to a TCP/IP platform, and the Supply/Demand chain is ANX subscribed.

Potential Value of Accelerated MAP Deployment with ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Service In a 1996 AIAG proof-of-concept initiative known as Manufacturing Assembly Pilot (MAP), EDI tools were used within a very small branch of the supply chain to shorten the order-to-delivery cycle of a particular car seat. Based on the results of this experiment, the AIAG estimates potential average savings of $71 per vehicle if supply chain EDI were fully implemented. The financial model in Table I shows the ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 project expenditures and two slightly different adoption curves for the MAP concept. The model shows that, if the use of ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service can speed up MAP rollout even slightly, the ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 project TARR would approach 500 percent! 1995199619971998199920002001MAP Adoption Rate with ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service -  -  - 10%25%50%75%MAP Adoption Rate without ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 service -  -  - 5%20%45%70%Industry staff on ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 project (FTEs) 1.00  3.00  4.00  3.00  1.00  1.00  1.00 Industry-funded contractors on ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 project (FTEs) -  1.00  2.00  4.00  2.00  -  - Annual Benefit of MAP with ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Service ($000) -  -  -  100,000  250,000  500,000  750,000 Annual Benefit of MAP with ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Service ($000) -  -  -  50,000  200,000  450,000  700,000 Net Benefit of ANX Service ($000) -  -  -  50,000  50,000  50,000  50,000 Direct ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Seed Funding ($000) -  -  (1,570) -  -  -  - Direct ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12 Staff ($000) (110) (330) (440) (330) (110) (110) (110)Direct ANXsymbol 210 \f "Symbol" \s 12Contractors ($000) -  (240) (480) (960) (480) -  - Net Annual Cash Flow ($000) (110) (570) (2,490) 48,710  49,410  49,890  49,890 TARR497%AssumptionsSalaried FTE $ 110,000 Contractor FTE $ 240,000 Industry benefit of MAP at 100% adoption $1 billion While MAP concentrates on the supply chain, proponents of another set of tools - Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replacement (CPFR) applications - are focusing on the demand chain. An estimated 30 percent of the cost of the average car accrues between the time it leaves the assembly line and the time a consumer takes delivery of it. CPFR tools have the potential to reduce these demand chain costs by as much as 20 percent, or $1,200 per vehicle.
