Abstract

A growing number of organisations are investigating the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a tool to improve their business processes across the enterprise. When implemented properly, the benefits RFID brings to supply-chain management, logistics, and asset tracking are clearly understood. Yet many companies do not realise the value RFID can supply by providing data input into a company's Six Sigma and Lean applications by facilitating operational visibility. in this paper, a systematic approach that integrates the phases of business process reengineering, RFID data-Based decision making, laboratory-level prototyping, and pilot implementation at industry site are discussed.
