A Study on Applying RFID Systems of Korean Pharmaceutical Industry
Abstract
In order to streamline the distribution process, the Korean government is currently preparing for a policy that mandates introducing RFID systems to various industrial participants that belong to the supply chain. Different from the industrial products, medical products are subject to a strict regulation on activities such as manufacture, distribution and consumption since it is directly related to people’s life and health. This paper outlines RFID item-level tagging systems, a world first implemented by H pharmaceutical company and demonstrates the strategies based upon its accumulated experience along with the effect of introducing RFID systems.
