RFID-assisted Product Delivery in Sustainable Supply Chains: A Knowledge-based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper proposes an integrated framework which uses knowledge representation theory and languages to annotate relevant product information in a semantically rich and unambiguous fashion so disclosing several added-value services in multiple supply chain stages, without depending on a back-end infrastructure. EPCglobal RFID protocol standard has been extended and further applied in an innovative supply chain model where production, packaging and logistics have a reduced ecological impact. Particularly, on-product information are leveraged in a more general Intelligent Transport System (ITS) framework enabling advanced delivery scheduling and product tracking.

A semantic-based framework for RFID-assisted port supply chains
Knowledge Representation techniques can be used to annotate relevant products information during their lifecycle without depending on a back-end infrastructure, so enabling novel added-value services. In this paper, a port supply chain management framework – based on EPCglobal RFID protocol enhancements– is presented allowing semantic-based descriptions to be associated to tagged objects and go...
متن کاملFuzzy revenue efficiency in sustainable supply chains
The performance assessment of supply chains including sustainability dimensions of economic, environmental and social is a significant aspect for managers and decision makers. Furthermore, imprecise data are presented in many real world applications. Therefore, the current paper proposes an approach based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) to analyze the revenue efficiency of sustainable supply...
متن کاملSimulation based optimization of multi-product supply chain under a JIT system
It is scientifically challenging to determine the inventory level all through the supply chain in such a way that the desired objectives such as effectiveness and responsiveness of the supply chain system can be obtained. Simulation is a means for solving various problems which cannot be solved by regular exact models such as mathematical ones due to their complexity. The present paper is aime...
متن کاملMeasuring and Analyzing the Bullwhip Effect in a Two-Product and Two Echelon Supply Chain Using Control Theory Approach
Coordination is very important in supply chain management and it is one of the main factors in supply chain profitability. Bullwhip effect is one of the basic obstacles to achieve coordination in supply chains and reduction of this phenomenon has an important role in supply chain harmony. The other side, costs of supply chain can be mitigated and customer service level can be increased by reduc...
متن کاملImpacts of RFID technologies on supply chains : A simulation study of a three-level retail supply chain subject to shrinkage and delivery errors
Today’s strong competitive conditions force companies to satisfy customer demands as well as possible (dependability) at the lowest possible cost and on time. Thus, companies try to develop new strategies and solutions to improve the quality of their supply chains and to reduce their operational costs. In the past few years, Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technologies have drawn signific...
