Leveraging RFID for Demand Chain Optimization: Real-Time Tracking of Field-Based Inventory and Assets

This paper describes the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to provide real-time visibility of finished-goods inventory from the point of manufacture to the point of sale - commonly referred to as the demand chain. Leveraging RFID in this way enables inventory management optimization that increases sales and customer satisfaction and decreases inventory levels, product loss, and legal liability.
