“…When compared to the conventional approaches, such as barcode or manual data entry, RFID enables for a more efficient automatic data acquisition, data identification, and information exchange among supply chain members for tracking product, sorting, and distribution data collection and analysis (Hou and Hung, 2006; Prater et al , 2005; Smith, 2005). A variety of benefits are being associated with the introduction of RFID including improved efficiency, accuracy, and security of information (Adenso‐Diaz and Gascón, 1999; Kärkkäinen, 2003; Kelly and Erickson, 2005; Reyes and Frazier, 2007). By enabling firms to more effectively utilize knowledge, this technology also enables firms to deliver higher levels of customer service, a critical requirement for firms pursuing differentiation strategies.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual overview of the relationship between knowledge management, supply chain technology investments, and overall firm performance. Additionally, a historical review of supply chain development is offered along with a comprehensive list of supply chain measures currently in use and a discussion of how those measures align within the overall firm strategy.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on knowledge management theory, the paper argues herein that the transitory nature of firm‐level differentiation and the ease with which competitors gain access to each others' business strategies demand that firms stay flexible. It is also argued that translating firm knowledge resources into useable knowledge management capabilities may enable firms to enhance their likelihood of competitive advantage.FindingsMany leading firms drive towards new advantages through supply chain information capturing investments. By capturing data and mining that information, firms are better equipped to identify impending changes in the environment and to adjust their strategies accordingly.Practical implicationsFirms that have a developed sense of competiveness are more likely to capture and utilize the increased datum provided by IT investments and more likely to implement that knowledge in a way that leads to operational improvements. As firms pursue global markets, supply chain complexity grows exponentially. Firms will need to respond and operations managers will need to find ways to empirically measure their performance to find improvements. Every investment in supply technology should be driven by an understanding of the inextricably inter‐connectedness of knowledge management capabilities and the firm's ability to effectively implement its corporate strategies. By emphasizing the inter‐connection between knowledge management and supply chain technology investments, firms improve their potential for developing a competitive advantage.Originality/valueThis paper provides a unique conceptual framework intended to aid researchers and managers develop a more thorough understanding of the linkages between knowledge management capabilities, supply chain technology investments, and overall firm performance.

Purpose -A great deal of confusion exists in the literature concerning the benefits of radio frequency identification (RFID). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the actual benefits of RFID on supply chain performance through the empirical evidence.Design/methodology/approach -The research reviews and classifies the existing quantitative empirical evidence of RFID on supply chain performance. We classify the evidence by process (operational or managerial) and for each process by effect (automational, informational, and transformational).Findings -The empirical evidence showed that the major effects from the implementation of RFID are automational effect on operational processes followed by informational effects on managerial processes. The RFID implementation has not reached transformational level on both operational and managerial processes. RFID has an automational effect on operational processes through inventory control and efficiency improvements. An informational effect for managerial processes is observed for improved decision quality, production control and the effectiveness of retail sales and promotions coordination. In addition, a three stage model is proposed to explain the effects of RFID on supply chain. Research limitations/implications -Limitations of this research include the use of secondarysources and the lack of consistency in performance measure definitions. Future research could 2 focus on detailed case studies that investigate cross-functional applications across the organization and the supply chain.Practical implications -For managers, the empirical evidence presented can help them identify implementation areas where RFID can have the greatest impact. The data can be used to build the business case for RFID and therefore better estimate ROI and the payback period.Originality/value -This research fills a void in the literature by providing practitioners and researchers with a better understanding of the quantitative benefits of RFID in the supply chain.

“…The importance of warehousing theory within the context of functional excellence is fairly self-evident and there is a wide range of publications that address the ways in which that activity can be optimised. They include fairly comprehensive books on the subject [3], as well as numerous journal articles on particular aspects of warehousing theory [4].…”

Aligning Distribution Center Operations to Supply Chain Strategy

A major focus of modern day logistics is on achieving a higher level of responsiveness to marketplace demand, but with less inventory. Achieving the dual targets of lower cost and higher service has implications for every stage in the supply chain and in particular for distribution center operations. What is the extent to which organizations are adjusting their distribution center operations to match current supply chain concepts? Using a survey, roles that these facilities play are explored in order to determine the extent to which modern supply chain theory and distribution center operations are aligned.
