Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/8931Organizations have begun to examine the pros and cons of implementing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology into the supply chain. RFID systems have the potential to improve supply chain coordination; however, many firms have experienced significant barriers when incorporating RFID technology into the supply chain. Through research and analysis of firms that have implemented an RFID system, this research work proposes a long-run strategy to integrate RFID into the supply chain. The aforementioned strategic roadmap is recommended because it reduces the likelihood of encountering barriers to RFID adoption and implementation; which in turn, presents the best opportunity for successful RFID integration into the supply chain.Text76 pages1 file (.pdf)enradio frequency identification systemsbusiness logisticsThesis
