چکیده مقاله:

Supply chain is a network of enterprises, facilities and distribution centres that are involved in different processes from producing and supplying raw materials to changing them to the endproducts and distributing them among its consumers. This concept from its introduction in 1980s employed new technologies in order to bring efficiency and better management to it. The reason is that row materials are produced in one country, built and assembled in another country, andfinally consumed in still another country. Therefore, the management of this cycle is becoming more important and vital, as a delay or failure in each stage can hamper the whole supply chain system and result in great losses. On the other hand, since demand is usually much more thansupply, in supply chain we need precise management that can manage the flow of information through supply chain, servicing customers, and risks and assets. Recently, one of the new technologies that entered this area is RFID technology. Over the past decade, RFID has attractedhuge amount of interest in different fields, the most important of which is supply chain. By using RFID in supply chain, goods can be identified better, stock controlling and tracking through supply chain can be done more easily and accurately, and above all, inventory checking can be done in a few minutes. All of these lead to effective management, accurate and real-time information, and reduction in processing time, labour cost, and waste. Therefore, in this article the attempt is to explore the effect of RFID technology implication on supply chain, to elaborate how RFID can optimise the supply chain and its management, and to demonstrate how this technology can bring total and real -time visibility in entire the supply chain
