Giving organizations the ability to track, secure, and manage items
from the time they are raw materials through the life-cycle of the
product, radio frequency identification (RFID) makes internal
processes more efficient and improves overall supply chain
responsiveness. Helping you bring your organization into the
future, RFID in the Supply Chain: A Guide to Selection and
Implementation explains RFID technology, its applications in SCM,
data storage and retrieval, business processes, operational and
implementation problems, risks, security and privacy, facility
layout, handling systems and methods, and transportation costs. In
short, with its soup-to-nuts coverage, the book ensures that your
RFID implementation is successful and that you get the most from
your investment.
The book discusses the major paradigm shift in product
traceability that began with transitioning to RFID technology from
bar code technology. It examines the economic feasibility of
rolling out RFID and the challenges in supply chain
synchronization, customer privacy, security, operations and IT,
logistics, program management, education and training, and
implementation, as well as what lessons have been learned. The
author addresses the RFID business processes needed to analyze and
resolve problems the suppliers face when they deal with multiple
customers, each with a different mandate, and with their own set of
suppliers.
Going beyond the technology and how it has changed supply chain
processes, the book includes selection guidelines and
implementation examples, such as speed of tag reads versus quality
of computer inputs and optimal tag location. The author discusses
the implementation of a business processmodel and the separate but
equal concerns that business and IT executives have about the
implementation of RFID applications. The book also covers security,
integrated control management linked to the corporate strategy, and
laws and regulations.
