Abstract
Supply chain management and automated identification systems are
nowadays visible within virtually all industries. They are used
extensively to automate many of the tasks involved in normal
business processes and to enable the optimization of the flow of goods
through the supply chain. In order to get a better understanding and
evaluation of the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID)
systems in supply chains and their management systems, the authors
classify the most important supply chain inventory identification
and accuracy requirements. In addition, they identify and analyze
the characteristics of RFID technologies that affect their ability to
automatically capture the required information. They also discuss
emerging standards related to the unique identification of objects.
The analysis is based on several literature reviews at the technology
area.
