Summary, in English
A general search for articles containing the search phrases radio frequency identification or RFID in the database called ABI Inform is conducted. An initial analysis of articles found resulted in sixty-four relevant articles. These are analysed from a logistics and SCM perspective.
The literature review categorises and structures literature regarding RFID technology which influences logistics or SCM according to area of focus.
