TITLE: To identify importance of Radio frequency identification in supply chain and
logistic of grocery industry of the UK.
INTRODUCTION
Radio frequency identification is known as one of the most revolutionary tools in logistic
and supply chain as it makes companies able to share data by making use of radio frequency
electromagnetic fields (Jadán-Guerreroa, Guerrerob and Sharmac, 2016). One of the main aim of
using this by companies in logistic and supply chain is becoming sustainable, cost effective and
becoming more competitive in the market. RFID tag plays an important role as it allows
suppliers and manufacturer in tracking every single part which they use in their goods which
provides visibility and tracking information.
This present study is going to show benefits which retailers can have by making use o RFID
in their supply chain with supportive views of authors. Further, it will also show some
disadvantages of this RFID along with ways to solve them and making use of it in an effective
manner. Research methodology and research ethics also play an important role in conducting and
making study successful by using different elements of it like research strategy, approaches, data
collection and analysis.
SECTION 1: EXPLAINATION OF KEY CONCEPTS
Importance or benefits of using Radio frequency Identification in supply chain and logistic
According to the Chan, (2016) radio frequency identification technology has several
benefits and one of the main effectiveness of this technology is it reduces total cycle time order
of delivery of products to final customers which increases customers satisfaction. In addition, it
is also identified that by making an effective use of this technology several retailers including
Tesco and Sainsbury’s are reducing errors in products delivery to customers like damages,
delivery to wrong address and others. It overall helps companies in retaining their customers
with them for the long run because when customers receive their orders before the time and in a
timely manner without any errors and mistakes with higher quality then it makes them feel
valued and motivated. Motivated customers are more likely to stay with the company and
engaged with them.
