Abstract
PurposeThis paper aims to propose a new framework for selecting strategies from the pools of RFID strategies, Six‐Sigma strategies and supply chain strategies. To gain a better understanding of the proposed model, three case studies are investigated and all related strategies are presented and discussed.Design/methodology/approachThis article proposes a new framework for Six‐Sigma driven RFID‐enabled supply chain systems. Theory building is comprised of four parts where each part is discussed clearly in the content of the article. However, it is through such tools that management can identify new systems for matching the needs of his/her organization with all of the right strategies.FindingsIn a journey to business excellence, an organization is successful if specific goals for critical processes of the organization are identified. The quality management programs implemented can modernize and simplify activities towards the ultimate goal of the business. To do so, this author's discussions on Six‐Sigma strategies, supply chain strategies, and radio frequency identification are converted into a framework that can be used for developing an appropriate model for organizational strategy selection. There are some cases in the literature that can support such a model building and framework identification. Three of such cases are presented for the readers' familiarity with the subject.Practical implicationsThe use of these three methodologies can bring significant changes to an organization. This can be done by taking into consideration the key strategies of supply chain management, Six‐Sigma, and RFID playing a big role in the success of the organization.Originality/valueFor each methodology considered, strategies are examined and a framework based upon such methodologies is proposed. Cases supporting the proposed framework are reviewed from the literature for clarification purposes.
