2. BACKGROUND
(RFID) as a technology was developed during the 1940s, the first industry
uses were occurring during the 1980s in tracking and access applications .
Intense Supply Chain due to heavy productions .
Shift in supply chain trend .
RFID can be used to automate and thus streamline identification
processes, which means that more checkpoints along the supply chain
can be established at decreased costs .

3. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an
automatic identification method, relying on
storing and remotely retrieving data using
devices called RFID tags or transponders.
An RFID tag is a small object that can be
attached to or incorporated into a product,
animal, or person.
Transponder: An automatic device that transmits a message in response to a
received signal

4. RFID tags contain silicon chips and antennas to
enable them to receive and respond to radio-
frequency queries from an RFID transceiver.
Passive
tags require no internal power source,
whereas active tags require a power source
Transceiver: a device which combines both transmission and reception
capabilities within a single housing. It is a semiconductor device designed
to send and receive digital data.

16. How is RFID technology currently used in
supply chain operations?
How are supply chain management systems
impacted by this use?

17. Based on the problem discussion, this study is
conducted on two dimensional approaches.
1) Identification of the significance of RFID in
Supply Chain Management.
2) Impacts of RFID in the Supply Chain
Management.
Further, this study shows the effects of RFID in the different
company's supply chains.

18. RFID puts an positive impact on the Return On Investment.
RFID is considered an effective tool to tracking information and
improves both process efficiency and accuracy in the Fast Moving
Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chain.
Handling efficiency: RFID allows the automatic identification of objects
without line-of-sight. This reduces the manual data capturing effort.
Theft: Even if RFID at the bottle may not prevent theft, it can help
companies to detect weak points in the supply chain.
Bullwhip effect: The adoption of RFID technology decrease in bullwhip
effect due to mainly derives from real- time availability of demand data.

19. The researcher recommend that RFID deployment in supply
chain helping the companies to compete more effectively in
today’s complex global markets, RFID may appears an
attractive tool for supply chain optimization.
RFID technology, designed to tag and track objects, is in the
context of supply chain management, essentially an inventory
management tool.
Bar code technology, another inventory management tool, is
almost everywhere in supply chain logistics
RFID’s unique characteristics to create new ways to
implement innovative supply chain strategies. An “intelligent
product”, for example, might dynamically adjust its expiration
date based on changing environmental variables, dynamically
re-price itself based on its age, location, or other lifecycle
factors, or perhaps drive a dynamic picking process for stock
rotation and Better supply chain visibility can bring many
benefits, including reduced inventory and safety stock levels,
and fewer stock-outs.
