Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0045324A2] A method for production and operations management comprises the steps of: associating a read/write RFID tag with a product to be processed; subjecting the product to at least one process; and, writing information to the associated tag relating to the at least one process, whereby application of the at least one process to the product can be confirmed by reading the information from the associated tag. The method can further comprise the steps of: subjecting the product to a further process; reading from the associated tag the information relating to the at least one process; modifying the further process in accordance with the read information; and, writing further information to the associated tag related to the further process. The processes can include, for example, at least one of a manufacturing process, an inspection process, a shipping process, a warehousing process and a retailing process.
