Understanding Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Its Impact on the Supply Chain
Overview Fueled by initiatives from Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense, Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) is gaining significant momentum as a technology solution in the supply chain. Despite the considerable promise of RFID, there is still a significant lack of knowledge and clarity around the topic, however, which is possibly impeding acceptance and adoption in the supply chain. To address this problem, this paper serves to educate readers on RFID topics including technology, standards, supply chain applications and benefits, industry examples, costs and ROI models, and risks and challenges. The ultimate goal of the paper is to support readers in their own assessment and development of RFID solutions.
