Download or read book Evaluating the Security of the Global Containerized Supply Chain written by Henry H. Willis and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2004 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much worldwide cargo, from raw materials to finished products, travels via containerized shipping. For the shippers, the main concern has always been losses from theft or accident. But shipping containers are as attractive to terrorists as they are to thieves and smugglers. New security measures have therefore proliferated. This report defines a framework for assessing the effects of these measures, reviews the balance of current container security risk-reduction efforts, and lays out directions for further research.
Download or read book Improvement of Supply Chain Performances Using RFID Technology written by Cornel Turcu and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter helps to improve readers understanding of the RFID and EPC potential for business processes. RFID technology is classified as a wireless AIDC technology that uses digital data encoded into a radio tag embedding a microchip with an antenna. The data stored on the tag is collected by a reader using radio waves. There are a large variety of RFID tags designs; they also have many different functional characteristics such as power source, carrier frequency, read range, data storage capacity, operational life, cost etc. RFID has immediate benefits over barcodes. Thus RFID tags are an improvement over barcodes because the tags have read and write capabilities. The data stored on RFID tags can be changed, updated and locked. RFID technology offers a better way to track items with minimal human intervention, for stocking and marketing purposes. Benefits come in the form of inventory, shrinkage and labor reduction on the one hand, and sales increasing due to reducing out-of-stock and getting real-time demand information on the other hand. RFID technology represents one of a number of possible solutions to enhance supply chain. It is therefore important to do a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate each alternative solution. The majority of the costs of integrating RFID in supply chain application come from IT, tags, hardware and services. But due to the actual relative high cost of integrating RFID technology, each company needs to evaluate its own business processes to determine where and if RFID can be applied (incorporated) to provide substantial business benefits. Thus, all RFID solutions have to evaluate different performance and cost factors, including the operating environment, on-tag memory storage, and signal transmission restrictions. Each of these issues has significant cost impacts on both tags and readers. The costs of RFID readers have already fallen to a considerable extent. The cost of tags is expected to decrease over time and as quantities increase. Passive tags are undoubtedly less expensive than active tags and most companies are focusing on passive tags. The different studies proves that at a lower quantity the barcode is the cheapest alternative for supply chain, but, as quantity of product increase the optimum choice is RFID. In some applications, RFID and barcodes system will still coexist and this redundancy cost must be considered. However, to realize maximum return on investment (ROI) for RFID integration, the enterprises need to leverage their information architecture strategically. Any industrial domain may benefit from RFID technology, and the number of applications is on the rise. Thus, RFID technology is applied in a vast area of industrial, commercial and military domains, including manufacturing and logistics, retail, animal tracking, etc. This chapter focuses on how RFID technology can be used to solve problems faced by supply chain. In fact, RFID has the potential to radically change the entire supply chain by improving inventory management, asset visibility, and interoperability in an end-to-end integrated environment. The ability to track, at item level, material flows among partners until they reach the consumer, while maintaining the data accuracy advantages of various types of automatic identification technology (AIT), is the perfect solution to the many issues of enterprises in the past. RFID technology permits the unique identification of each container, pallet, case and item to be manufactured, shipped and sold, thus allowing an increased visibility throughout the supply chain. Thus the RFID has the potential of helping.
Download or read book The Value of RFID written by Alp Ustundag and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RFID technology presents a great potential for creating competitive advantage. By automating and simplifying data collection, it lets users more accurately track assets and monitor key indicators, which in turn gives greater visibility to the operations. However, the benefits received from this technology will be determined by how well it is integrated with the business processes and overall information flow. Because of the fact that the decision to deploy RFID technology in an enterprise is a business decision instead of a technology decision, cost-benefit analysis is a key component of this decision. If an RFID deployment cannot be justified in terms of its economic value to the company, it is not likely to help the company; and consequently, it is not likely to remain a viable deployment over the long term. The Value of RFID describes the business value of RFID and explains the costs and benefits of this technology comprehensively. Different investment evaluation models are proposed to use in various application areas. Techniques to guide the selection of appropriate implementation levels and to handle uncertainty and risk in RFID are explained. Written for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and lecturers working in the field of RFID and supply chain management, readers will learn evaluation practices for RFID investment for different application areas. The book also guides managers in making to accurate decisions on RFID investment to maximize the return.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RFID and the Internet of Things shows how RFID has transformed the supply chain over the last decade and examines the manufacturing, logistics and retail aspects of RFID. This monograph considers the related cost/benefit of RFID in these business environments. The authors describe a vision of an "Internet of Things", where each participating object has a digital shadow with related information stored in cyberspace. RFID and the Internet of Things introduces the reader to the relevant hardware and software as well as to standards and architectures. It then presents several case studies and uses cases showing how RFID can be used in manufacturing and retail with a focus on intra-enterprise applications and local benefits. The authors move further down the supply chain, discussing RFID applications in logistics and the perspectives for an Internet of Things. This is followed by a discussion of cost/benefit analyses of RFID implementations. The volume discusses possible security and privacy risks of RFID and presents several architecture proposals for a less centralized Internet of Things. The authors conclude with a summary and outlook.
