International Journal of Production Research Vol. 48, No. 9, 1 May 2010, 25492562 Evaluating RFID investment on a supply chemical strand using setging equal sharing factor Alp Ustundag* Department of Industrial Engineering, Istanbul technical foul University, Istanbul, Turkey (Revision received November 2009) Radio frequency acknowledgment (RFID) is a promising technology for optimising supply scope processes, as it improves manufacturing and retail operations from forecasting demand to planning, managing inventory, and distribution. In this study, a simulation model is used to calculate the net present vagabond (NPV) of an RFID investment on a three-echelon supply chain and to turn out the effects of sharing the tagging cost between supply chain outgrowths on the NPV at the echelon level. In the proposed model, NPVs for the retailer, distributor, and manufacturer are measured for two cases. In the first case, the tagging cost is shared check to the expected benefit of each supply chain penis using the tagging cost sharing factor. In the second case, the tagging cost is shared equally between supply chain members. Further much, we analyze the difference in the NPVs for a supply chain member change as the end-customer demand value increases.

Keywords: supply chain; RFID; simulation; tagging cost 1. Introduction RFID technology is a wireless sensor technology that is based on the detection of electromagnetic signals. accord to Mcfarlane and Sheffi (2003), an RFID-based auto-ID system is made up of a unequaled identification number that is assigned to a particular item, an identity tag that is attached to the item with a chip capable of storing the unique identification number, networked RFID readers and data processing systems that are capable of compile signals from multiple tags at high speeds (which preprocess this data), and one or more networked databases that store the product information. The history of this technology dates back to 1939. During homo War II,... If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
