There is a growing attention towards the application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFId) technology in the Fashion & Apparel supply chain. This paper describes a Lateral Trans-shipment replenishment policy enabled by item-level RFId tagging. In fact, in order to adopt a Lateral Transshipment policy, a firm should have an accurate visibility of both the inventory level in its warehouses and...

We present Colorwave, a medium access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader networks. A network of readers will collaborate for a common application such as item-level monitoring in supply chain management. Readers may be deployed in an ad hoc manner, and readers must not interfere with one another’s reader-to-tag commu...

Corporate image is an important organizational resource that enables to create, strengthen and sustain competitive advantage. Different antecedents have been identified for corporate image in the literature including quality of products and services, consumer consideration or distribution system. Green supply chain management appears to be an antecedent of corporate image too. This study examin...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) chips have been widely deployed in large-scale systems such as inventory control and supply chain management. While RFID technology has much advantage, however it may create new problems to privacy. Tag untraceability is a significant concern that needs to be addressed in deploying RFID-based system. In this paper we propose a new construction for untraceab...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a promising new technology that is widely deployed for object tracking and monitoring, ticketing, supply-chain management, contactless payment, etc. However, RFID related security problems attract more and more attentions. This paper has studied a novel elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based RFID security protocol and it shows some great features. First...

Abstract Self-Transactional materials are equipped with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and communication capabilities that allow them to automatically report their location, use, condition a central system. The paper used combination of literature review case study. integration RFID technology the Internet Things (IoT) into Supply Chain Management (SCM) has gained ground in recent y...

companies strive to improve market share, grow corporate profit, and gain strategic advantage. in order to achieve these goals, supply chain competency must be placed at the heart of a company’s business model. using e-commerce and information and communication technologies (ict) in today’s changing demands of business has made organizations more responsive and flexible. e-commerce and internet...

The use of location tracking technology can be applied to industry to improve many areas such as security, safety and the supply chain. The main reason that location tracking systems have not be applied across many applications is due to the number of limitations that restrict the technology. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is mainly used in close proximity identification such as entering...

The paper examines a project utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems between a department store chain (Kaufhof) and a fashion goods manufacturer (Gerry Weber). It analyses the project according to the ‘5 Ps’ of RFID, a concept, proposed by Loebbecke and Palmer (2006b), which suggests that firms considering RFID should investigate: the Physics of the transponder, the reader, and ...

Both nationally and internationally, pharmaceutical counterfeiting has become a problem that is threatening economic stability and public health. The purpose of the present research study review was to analyze the scope and severity of pharmaceutical counterfeiting and to establish if the implantation of the Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) model can more efficiently be used within ...
