Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a leading technology could be useful for reducing the supply chain food. The RFID can be effective with receiving product information and reducing costs. The greatest challenges are the supply chain management of perishable goods, especially the food. Variation in the number of goods, tracking and follow-up the flow of goods throughout the supply chain, low life expectancy, high volume products requiring temperature control in the supply chain is some of the challenges. The risk of food at each stage of the supply chain of food can occur, resulting in the definition of management to obtain information, ingredients, date of production (sales, consumption), etc., and provide it in a transparent manner to provide supply chain suppliers and consumers is necessary. One of the best possible solutions is using of RFID that help the supply chain management in perishable goods logistics. This paper examines the business model of the financial implementation of RFID in tracking food. To clarify the subject, a case study RFID system using in Taiwan welfare chain stores has been providing. In this case by introducing two upgrade projects 4 and 6 years old, profit and costs associated with the implementation of RFID for manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the supply chain of convenience stores have been analyzed.
