This handbook begins with the history of Supply Chain (SC)
Engineering, it goes on to explain how the SC is connected today,
and rounds out with future trends. The overall merit of the book is
that it introduces a framework similar to sundial that allows an
organization to determine where their company may fall on the SC
Technology Scale. The book will describe those who are using more
historic technologies, companies that are using current
collaboration tools for connecting their SC to other global SCs,
and the SCs that are moving more towards cutting edge technologies.
This book will be a handbook for practitioners, a teaching resource
for academics, and a guide for military contractors. Some figures
in the eBook will be in color. Presents a decision model for
choosing the best Supply Chain Engineering (SCE) strategies for
Service and Manufacturing Operations with respect to Industrial
Engineering and Operations Research techniques Offers an economic
comparison model for evaluating SCE strategies for manufacturing
outsourcing as opposed to keeping operations in-house Demonstrates
how to integrate automation techniques such as RFID into planning
and distribution operations Provides case studies of SC inventory
reductions using automation from AIT and RFID research Covers
planning and scheduling, as well as transportation and SC theory
and problems
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging is now mandated by
the department of defense and many of the world's largest retailers
including Wal-Mart. In order to stay competitive, more than 200,000
manufacturers and suppliers must develop strategies for integrating
RFID technologies into their supply chains. RFID in Logistics: A
Practical Introduction provides businesses and other relevant
concerns with an authoritative step-by-step guide to the
implementation and diverse applications of this revolutionary
communications technology. Survey RFID applications in
entertainment, credit devices, wireless communications, healthcare,
and libraries Learn about both active and passive system components
testing models Examine best practices for integrating RFID
technology into the supply chain Combining techniques from
computer, electrical, and industrial engineering, RFID in
Logistics: A Practical Introduction supplies the basic instruction
needed to develop and implement RFID technology.

As RFID technology is becoming increasingly popular, the need has
arisen to address the challenges and approaches to successful
implementation. RFID and Auto-ID in Planning and Logistics: A
Practical Guide for Military UID Applications presents the concepts
for students, military personnel and contractors, and corporate
managers to learn about RFID and other automatic information
capture technologies, and their integration into planning and
logistics functions. The text includes comparisons of RFID with
technologies such as bar codes, satellite tags, and global
positioning systems and provides a decision model for choosing the
appropriate technology for a given application. By providing the
histories, current use, and future applications of RFID and
automatic identification technologies (AIT), the book discusses
supply chain planning and logistics uses for these technologies. It
addresses the fundamental relationships in RFID, including how
antennae, integrated circuitry, and substrate work together. The
text provides detailed information for troubleshooting design
issues and an understanding of passive, semi-passive, and active
tags, so an informed choice of technology type can be made. It
describes the unique identification (UID) standards necessary for
military contractors and how to use RFID and AIT to meet those
requirements. This book is unique in the depth of material
presented, making it appropriate for engineers, students, and
operational personnel as a resource for foundational concepts for
integrating logistics and RFID. A comprehensive reference, this
volume can is an academic text, a practitioner's handbook, and a
military contractor's UID guide for using RFID and AIT
technologies.
