Abstract

Based on a field study conducted in the utility industry, this paper examines the impacts and potential benefits generated by an RFID application in one specific supply chain. Through a detailed investigation of the underlying business processes, we demonstrate how process optimization can be achieved when integrating RFID technology into information systems applications. A proof of concept (POC) is also conducted in laboratory settings to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scenarios.
