Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) seems to be in air these days! As an avid consumer and reader of supply chain management information, I get a lot of it pushed to me via the Internet, as well as from trade publications. The hottest topic is RFID as the next big thing in technology – not as big, but similar to the Internet frenzy of several years ago. Thousands of articles mention it every year. Just this past Spring semester at MIT, we had several students that researched and wrote Master’s theses on various aspects of the use of RFID tags in supply chain management and logistics.
