目的 - 本文的目的是描述一个分析模型，用于评估快速消费品 (FMCG) 供应链中射频识别 (RFID) 应用的成本和收益。设计/方法/途径 - 本文基于深入的文献综述和对 RFID 应用评估的主要贡献的分类。 RFID 技术对供应链流程的影响已使用基于活动的方法进行了建模。我们与 30 家快速消费品公司的物流和供应链经理进行了为期六个月的广泛讨论和完善过程，以验证模型并收集所需的输入。结果 - 已经探索了托盘和箱子级别的标签。前一种情况显示的好处有限，而 RFID 的实际潜力在后一种情况下变得清晰。这些项目的盈利能力很大程度上受到 RFID 标签成本以及基准供应链在效率、质量要求，当然还有产品功能方面的特征的影响。该模型提供了如何以及何时能够实现积极投资回报的清晰评估，即使采用当今的技术（在成本和性能方面）也是如此。原创性/价值 - 这是对 RFID 应用的成本和收益进行全面分析的首次尝试之一，同时考虑到所有涉及的主要因素。该模型可以为制造商和零售商评估其投资提供宝贵的支持。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe an analytical model to assess the costs and benefits of radio frequency identification (RFId) applications in the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply chain.Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on an in-depth literature review and a classification of the main contributions regarding the assessment of RFId applications. The impact of RFId technology on supply chain processes has been modelled using an activity-based approach. An extensive, six-month discussion and refinement process with the logistics and supply chain managers of 30 FMCG companies is conducted to validate the model and to collect the required inputs.Findings - Pallet- and case-level taggings have been explored. The former scenario shows limited benefits, whereas the actual potential of RFId becomes clear in the latter. The profitability of these projects is significantly affected by the costs of RFId tags and by the characteristics of the base-line supply chain in terms of efficiency, quality requirements and, of course, product features. The model provides a clear assessment of how and when a positive return on investment can be achieved, even with today's technology (in terms of costs and performances).Originality/value - This is one of the first attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits of an RFId application, taking into account all the major factors involved. The model can be a valuable support to manufacturers and retailers in evaluating their investments.
