Abstract

The application of RFID to control production and logistic processes is an approach for managing the increasing complexity in the automotive supply chain. Besides economic aspects, the use of energy and materials as well as its environmental impact are gaining importance in investment decisions and process redesign. Therefore, a method for evaluating the resource efficiency of RFID-controlled supply chains is needed. This paper introduces a six-step method which enables companies to evaluate the environmental impact of the RFID-caused process changes in the planning process.
