“…The waste, such as energy lost and Sustainability 2018, 10, 4822 2 of 25 carbon emission from extra routing due to a poor material tracking and control, could cause direct environmental impacts. Such cost inefficiencies will also negatively impact the project performance, especially on surpluses or shortages of materials [3]. To improve the SCM, research effort has been put on many aspects, including supplier selection or evaluation [4], analytical modeling [5], performance measurement [6], and influence analysis of sustainable SCM [7].…”

“…Research gaps can be identified that previous studies regarding the use of tracking technologies for SCM have mainly been focused on certain stages of the project lifecycle. Single tracking technology was first tested for improving SCM performance, such as barcodes [3,10], radio frequency identification (RFID) [11][12][13], global positioning systems (GPS) [14][15][16], ultra-wide band (UWB) [17][18][19], and wireless sensor networks (WSN) [20,21]. Then, integrated tracking solutions were developed to allow for efficient SCM on a construction site [22] and a storage yard of a prefabricated plant [23].…”

With the increased size and complexity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, supply-chain management has become a challenging process due to involvements of the remote location of the project site and the multiple stakeholders. The transparency and traceability of the supply-chain are critical as any surpluses or shortages of materials will put the project at risk. Currently, limited research has been conducted on LNG projects considering the total supply-chain perspective, which refers to all stages of materials tracking in off-site manufacturing, transportation, and site logistics. The purpose of this research is to propose a framework of a coordinated approach for supply-chain tracking in the LNG industry. Two focus group studies were organized to develop the proposed framework: One for LNG construction supply chain process development, and another for alternative tracking technologies selection. In addition, two experiments, namely off-site fabrication tracking and site logistics tracking, were conducted in a field to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed framework. Technology limitations were also discussed in terms of field implementation.

“…This case shows the benefits from using RFID in saved manpower cost and information transmission between customers and suppliers. From the literature, most of the case uses the RFID for creating the ubiquitous manufacturing environment so as to improve the information sharing, item tracking, data visibility and traceability [20][21][22]. Decision-making models for production planning and scheduling using RFID-captured data in such environment are limited.…”

“…Therefore, to optimally increase its operational and strategic benefits, RFID systems should be seamlessly integrated and implemented jointly in supply chain networks (Spekman and Sweeney, 2006). However, despite the potential effects of RFID systems at the inter-firm level, the cooperative implementation rate of RFID among transaction partners is still low (Schmidt et al, 2013). To date, companies have mostly been using RFID systems to streamline and improve their internal operations, rather than to improve inter-dependent processes involving transaction partners in supply chain networks (Attaran, 2012).…”

Despite the huge potential benefits of radio frequency identification (RFID) in collaborative use with transaction partners, many companies are reluctant to implement RFID with their partners and skeptical of its strategic value in inter-firm, supply chain networks. However, existing research is concentrated on the internal adoption and benefit measurement of RFID system, without careful consideration of the strategic value in an inter-organizational context at implementation stage. Hence, this study empirically identifies the reciprocal strategic value of RFID implementation in inter-firm, supply chain networks based on the resource-based theory and social capital theory. Additionally, mutual quality constructs of RFID system from an interorganizational context are investigated as determinants of the strategic value. Empirical results have shown that supply chain visibility and agility are improved through high-level, shared information quality and inter-organizational system quality of RFID. Inter-organizational trust is enhanced by high-level, interorganizational service quality and supply chain agility. Moreover, all strategic values of RFID (visibility, agility, and trust), when enhanced by RFID, have positive impacts on supply chain performance. This study expands the discussion scope of RFID to the implementation stage at the inter-firm level beyond the internal adoption level, improving the delay of RFID diffusion among transaction partners. Furthermore, the study describes strategic points that can be used to maximize the RFID value in supply chain networks.
