Abstract

This work aims at studying new opportunities held by Auto-ID technologies in the operation and logistic management. On the one hand, these new information technologies will speed up information flows, and on the other hand, doing the shop floor and the product flow more visible will allow reconsidering centralised decision making processes. In this paper, a quick presentation of the RFID technology is done, after what drawbacks of classical centralised control systems are pointed out. Then, we address a way to improve a classic kanban control system, by using kanban cards as an informational/decisional entity in order to enrich shop-floor information/decision.
