Exploring an open-loop RFID implementation in the automotive industry

• This paper explores and describes the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology on inventory accuracy within a production and assembly plant, and proposes a model for assessing the impact of the technology on inventory accuracy. The empirical investigation, based on case study research, focuses on a RFID implementation at a supplier of bumper and spoiler systems to the automotive industry. The results indicate that RFID ensures that inventory inaccuracy will be kept at minimum, providing practitioners with the opportunity to further eliminate waste and improve factory performance.
