RFID: Risks to Supply Chain
Abstract
Many businesses are incorporating RFID technology into the supply chain to improve efficiency and reduce errors, such as, late deliveries, excess inventory, and shortage of inventory. Application of this technology is very broad and is limited only by technological challenges in their design the cost of procuring them. In addition, there are several consumer concerns posed by RFID deployment, such as, privacy, security, and environmental damage. Thus far, issues with the introduction of RFID technology have been examined in isolation; a clear comprehensive view of the impact of the technology has not yet emerged. When considering RFIDs, companies typically perform a costbenefit analysis that incorporates the deployment cost and the productivity gains. Consumer concerns in deployment of this technology also need to be incorporated in the business analysis. This paper presents a scheme for comprehensively examining the risks of deploying RFID technology using a matrix-based approach.
