Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of simulated impact of the radio frequency identification (RFID) system on the inventory replenishment of the thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) supply chain in Taiwan. A global operations and logistics case of a well-known LCD monitor manufacturer in Taiwan has been studied. The pull-based multi-agents supply chain was accordingly modeled and simulated with AnyLogic. An automatic inventory replenishment function adopting the (s, S) policy is enabled with RFID or not. The result of the experiment shows that the RFID-enabled pull-based supply chain can be effectively achieved with a 6.19% decrease in the total inventory cost, and a 7.60% increase in the inventory turnover rate.
