“…In reality, despite the fact that RFID technology has been coined as the "next big thing in management" [84], and identified as "one of the ten greatest contributory technologies of the 21st century" [16], its early adoption has been plagued with numerous and complex issues such as technological uncertainties, lack of software applications, back end integration issues with Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), expensive software and services, data management challenges, lack of foreseeable benefits and unclear ROI for SCM applications, global standards issues and finally competition with established dominant designs (e.g. bar code) [12], [24], [77], [46], [83]. Although most of these challenges have been addressed, the RFID adoption process suffered from its early "over promising reputation".…”

“…More recently however, RFID technology, a wireless automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology, has been emerging as the new wave of inter-organizational systems (IOS) that is expected to transform the interdependent supply chain business processes and the supply chain management practices (Srivastava, 2004;Bose & Pal, 2005;Lefebvre et al, 2006;Curtin et al, 2007;Bose & Lam, 2008;Lee & Park, 2008;Sabbaghi & Vaidyanathan, 2008).…”

In the growing literature on RFID and other network technologies, the importance of organizational transformation at the supply chain level has been recognized. However, the literature lacks conceptual model development and salient mechanisms for achieving the level of organizational transformation required for stakeholders to realize the full business benefits from RFID projects. Furthermore, the RFID adoption, use, and impact studies to date largely focus on a single firm setting and on the retail sector. Therefore, this study intends to fill this knowledge gap in the literature, and develop a contingency model for creating value from RFID supply chain projects in logistics and manufacturing environments. For our model development, we draw upon extant diverse literatures; particularly the framework for IT-enabled business transformation (Venkatraman, 1994), and leadership and organizational learning. The framework postulates a positive relationship between the level of organizational transformation effected by the use of information technology (IT) and the level of business benefits realized from IT. The contingency model draws on the framework and explicates five contingency factors influencing value creation from RFID supply chain projects: environmental upheaval; leadership; second-order organizational learning; resources commitment; and organizational transformation. Using the contingency model as a conceptual guide, we also perform an analysis of longitudinal real-world case data from a Canadian third-party logistics service firm's seven-layer supply chain RFID projects. The case study analysis provides evidence for the imperative of the contingency factors identified in the model for creating value from the RFID projects. Furthermore, it also reveals the differential costs for the focal firm and the up-stream manufacturing as a key barrier to realizing the full RFID benefits at the supply chain level.

“…Although Auto-ID technologies are expected to deliver frequent high quality tracking information (Bose & Pal, 2005), the benefits offered need to be carefully balanced with its costs. At the same time the large amount of data that new technologies can generate make it difficult to determine the business value of the applications that use them (Bose & Lam, 2008). As a result, the need to accurately quantify the expected benefits from Auto-ID based tracking systems has raised significant research interest from both academics and practitioners (Whitaker, Mithas, & Krishnan, 2007;Delen, Hardgrave, & Sharda, 2007;Dutta, Lee, & Whang, 2007;Ozelkan & Galambosi, 2008) .…”

Order location information is undoubtedly one of the most critical pieces of supply chain information. Yet supply chain visibility generally remains a challenge as observations of order progress are often irregular and collected manually. The emergence of Automated Identification (Auto-ID) technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is improving the effectiveness of supply chain tracking systems. The authors propose a model that describes how Auto-ID observations across a supply chain and historical observation data can be combined to produce an ongoing order location estimation over time. The model is based on probabilistic reasoning principles and the resulting location estimation can be used to support operational decisions as well as to assess the quality and value of tracking information. The authors provide explicit instructions as to how to use the proposed model and using an illustrative example, they demonstrate how the model can produce ongoing location estimates based on RFID read events.
