Abstract

Supply chain pressures have caused some firms to reexamine their processes. In doing so, firms are exploring emerging technology such as RFID to enable seamless exchange of information within their supply chain. While RFID promised to revolutionize way business processes are managed today, impact and benefits of technology are still unclear and ambiguous concepts such as intelligent products, smart supply chains or the internet of things are still creating confusion within potential adopters. In this paper an attempt is made to (i) clarify ambiguity surrounding RFID vs. other AIDC and IOS technologies such as EPC Network (ii) specify technology readiness & IT related requirements of actual and emerging applications, and (iii) propose a framework to highlight how technology can be used to support RFID/EPC enabled ecommerce processes and support practitioners and academicians in assessing impact of RFID on electronic supply chain business processes.
