Efficiently, tracking information related to components, materials and equipment from the production/construction phase to operation and maintenance is a challenge in the industries. The industry environment is a natural fit for generating and utilizing instance-level data for decision support. Advanced electronic identification and data storage technologies e.g. radio frequency identification ...

Short for radio frequency identification, RFID is a dedicated short range communication technology. The term RFID is used to describe various technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. RFID is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using RFID tag. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been attracting considerable attention with the ex...

Radio frequency identification-enabled supply chain systems are in an open system environment, where different organisations have different business workflows and operate on different standards and protocols. This supply-chain environment can only be effective if the partners can trust each other and be collaborative. However, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) involves growing privacy and s...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a potent technology that manufacturing enterprises can deploy to enhance supply chain management, inventory control and asset management effectiveness. However, counterfeit prevention is seldom addressed in these RFID applications. The quality image of reputable manufacturers is vulnerable to the damage caused by the expanding flow of counterfeit product...

Radio Frequency Identification is regarded as the most cutting edge technology for the optimization of supply chain processes in recent years. Researchers of supply chain management have often suggested that the measurement of RFID benefits is very important. This research investigated how the different levels of a multi-level supply chain dynamically behave under the impacts of RFID applicatio...

A radio frequency identification device (RFID) is a type of information technology used to improve supply chain management through an enhanced visualization of products. The RFID market in the U.S healthcare industry has been projected to be approximately $297 million and has been expected to grow at a rapid speed. RFID had a great impact on the hospital supply chain. It has been demonstrated t...

This paper explains two main aspects of RFID supply chain management – the generic supply chain management and the specific military application for the purpose of asset viability. The generic supply chain management is studied by examining how to improve supply chain management through accurately determining inventory levels in real time without human interaction. For the military application,...

Supply costs account for more than one-third of the average operating budget and constitute the second largest expenditure in hospitals. As hospitals have sought to reduce these costs, radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a solution. This study reviews existing literature to gauge the recent and potential impact and direction of the implementation of RFID in the hospi...

The retail industry is experiencing problems in the supply chain because there is no formal collaboration between the retailer and supplier. Demand uncertainty in the supply chain, known as the "bullwhip effect," results in excess inventory and inefficiencies in the supply chain. Demand forecasts and orders are often distorted unless they are developed jointly by the partners. These factors cre...
