Supply chains today are very fragmented with each link as an individualistic entity. Absence of real time data leads to poor visibility that slows down the decision making process. With Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, manufacturers and retailers can go beyond the traditional bar code identification, fortifying visibility with better data granularity and more timely updates.

This paper explores the advantages of an RFID based supply-chain that helps in continuous monitoring, thus improving the whole system by using all the available data.
