Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an intelligent object tracking system having exponential applications in various industries. In recent years, academicians and practitioners from manufacturing and supply chain industries are showing significant interest in adopting RFID technology. RFID technology is primarily applicable in product traceability throughout manufacturing and supply chain which results in improved efficiency and economic benefits. In this paper, authors have systematically reviewed the selected literature on applications of RFID in manufacturing and supply chain management. The selected literature was broadly classified into two categories based on potential areas of research and methodologies used in research on application of RFID in manufacturing and supply chain management. This paper tries to bridge a gap between theoretical research and practitioners implementing RFID technology by properly analysing selected literature and offering future opportunities for research.
Keywords- RFID, manufacturing, supply chain management, Literature review
