RFID and Real Time Supply Chain Visibility Paper_3
IntroductionThe focus of this paper is to understand or investigate the relationship between RFID and the real time supply chain visibility. RFID refers to Radio Frequency Identification. Companies around the world are operating in fasts changing environment and more stakeholders are engaging with each other on daily basis. The major challenge the companies are facing nowadays is to handle the increased amount of information (Christopher, 2000). The identification of right information and interpretation of them to make appropriate decisions has become challenging.

The focus of this research paper will be to understand and analyse Radio Frequency Identification technology that is likely to assist in effectively managing the supply chain by improving the tracking ability. The RFID technology can be utilized in the tracking of product transportation, shipment tracking, and effective management of inventories (Michael & McCathie, 2005). This improved tracking ability directly converts to the efficient
