Abstract
Despite the extraordinary progresses that technology has brought in the automation of the production systems, Business Process Mapping, and in particular the automation of this important activity, represents a relevant example of methodology that can still take advantage of this new trend.In this paper, a RFID toolkit developed to aid with the Business Process Mapping is presented. The main concept of Business Process Mapping and of the RFID technology are summarized. Afterwards, the RFID toolkit architecture and its features are discussed.In order to test the capability of the proposed toolkit, a case of study of a pharmaceutical company has been analysed. The relevant lead times characterizing the main phases of the production cycles are tracked and the flow diagram of the production process has been automatically mapped.
