It is of benefit to the manufacturer who is able to seek obsolete stock effectively and capture real\u2010time data automatically.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The RFID\u2010based intra\u2010SC system is designed to overcome issues of information invisibility, which is considered a huge cost lost for obsolete stocks and ineffective intra\u2010SC operations in the textile industry. In this industry, the products are highly dependent on seasonal factors. Short product life cycle and high forecast errors are also critical difficulties encountered by supply chain parties. Thus, the RFID technology is suggested to be adopted in similar supply chains. In this paper, a textile manufacturing site is selected to test the proposed RFID system. Some advantages, critical issues for implementation of the RFID system, and lessons learned from the case study are shared with other interested parties.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570911002252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,7]],"date-time":"2009-11-07T07:12:56Z","timestamp":1257577976000},"page":"1166-1178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["RFID\u2010based intra\u2010supply chain in textile industry"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"Siu","family":"Keung Kwok","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kenny K.W.","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022031119554960300_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abernathy, F.H., Dunlop, J.T., Hammond, J.H. and Weil, D.
