This study applies lean production and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain management. In this study, a three-tier spare parts supply
chain with inefficient transportation, storage and retrieval operations is investigated. Value Stream Mapping
(VSM) is used to draw current state mapping and future state mapping (with lean production and
RFID) with material, information, and time flows. Preliminary experiments showed that the total operation
time can be saved by 81% from current stage to future stage with the integration of RFID and lean.
Moreover, the saving in total operation time can be enhanced to 89% with cross docking. In addition, utilizing
RFID technology, the cost of labors can be significantly reduced while maintaining current service
capacity at the members in the studied supply chain. Return-on-investment (ROI) analysis shows that the
proposed method is both effective and feasible.
