Delen et al. (2007) show, through a case study, that information collected by RFID can be valuable to both the retailer and the supplier.
They also show that the logistical performance can be improved by RFID usage at a micro supply chain level, e.g., between a distribution center and retail store. Karaer et al. (2007) study RFID application in the reverse channel, where a manufacturer has ample production capacity and also uses returned products to satisfy customer demand.
