Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively understand the important level of each factor and objectively select the key factors that influence the adoption of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) by the distribution industry (including logistics and retailing) in Taiwan. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is utilized to find the weighting of each factor, based on opinions of RFID alliance members, including the distribution industry and RFID solution providers. It is hoped that the research results can provide a reference for the distribution industry in terms of their focus on better allocation of resources to form appropriate strategies, which will improve success rates, when adopting RFID.
