2 Introduction
Supply chain visibility is an important issue for academics and industry both in a theoretical sense and in practice. Visibility is a complex issue that involves people, processes, and technology and information flow. From the supply chain management point of view, it sustains, accelerates or enables other practices driving the supply chain, such as sharing real-time data with key customers, suppliers, and partners or standardizing processes and practices, eliminating inefficiencies, and improving inventory and order management. Ideally, visibility enables all supply chain members timely access to all relevant information related to that particular member’s role in the supply chain.
Supply chain visibility is attained by technological and organizational means. Technological means refers to the development of e-business solutions that have enabled tightly integrated supply chains.
Organizational refers to various collaborative business processes where the supply chain parties agree on such cooperation and where the traditional firm boundaries do not hinder the setting of targets or, for example, collaboratively developed demand forecasts.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
RFID is expanding into new vertical application areas, driving continued demand for integration services providers with both RFID technology experience and domain-specific expertise. RFID is one of the evolving high-tech markets in the ICT sector, technology providers and users may profit from growing RFID markets and technologies. RFID uses special
