Every organization is constantly looking for opportunities to make their operations cost effective, efficient and agile. In a manufacturing organization, supply chain management should be efficient. Every asset has to be managed well. Realizing the right value of each asset is critical in the supply chain process. Traditional methods involve significant time and resources to track and manage assets. It is not about understanding where the asset is at a fixed point of time, but using active information to make effective decisions. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is used to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. These tags contain information stored in electronic format. It is important to understand RFID error rate. RFID errors impact the transactions and causes delay and rework. There is a direct impact to operation costs. This paper illustrated how RFID error rates can be predicted and analyzes two factors contributing to these errors. This would help reduce the inefficiencies and the operating costs.
