This study presents an RFID-based traceability approach to improve production scheduling. An in-depth study for a … manufacturer is conducted to explore scheduling options enabled by an RFID-based traceability system. We propose a novel … information visibility-based scheduling (VBS) rule that utilizes information generated from the real-time traceability systems for …

The growing attention and prominence afforded to analytics presents a genuine challenge for the operational research … community. Many in the community have recognised this growth and sought to align themselves with analytics. For instance, the US … operational research society INFORMS now offers analytics related conferences, certification and a magazine. However, as shown in …

We compare these improvement strategies and derive critical tag price for RFID implementation as a … technological remedy for the inventory inaccuracy problem. Conditions for the profitability of RFID adoption are discussed. …

a retail store is RFID-tagged. While the business case for expensive items to be RFID tagged may be somewhat clear, we … claim that even ‘cheap’ items (i.e., those that cost less than an RFID tag) should be RFID tagged for retailers to benefit … from efficiencies associated with item-level visibility. We study the relative price premiums a retailer with RFID tagged …

This paper concerns the integration of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technologies in helicopters. A global RFID … system, including RFID tags (passive, battery assisted and active), reading modules and data concentrator, will be embedded …
