  1. Enhancing ERP System with RFID: Logistic Process Integration and Exception Handling

  2. Introduction • Traditional stand-alone ERP systems are inadequate to handle the current requirements of logistics applications • Solution: integration of RFID and mobile technologies with Web-enabled applications • Enables management to utilize accurate information for analyzing business performance and quick decision • Help the integration of logistic processes and the handling of exceptions in key business processes

  3. What is RFID? • Radio Frequency Identification • A generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects • a technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify, categorize, track... • There are several methods of identification but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object on a microchip that is attached to an antenna • The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader • The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to computer systems Dickson Chiu 2006

  17. Summary • User benefits • Powerful and user friendly to perform their daily operations. • Improved organizational interoperability and connectivity • Anytime anywhere system and information access • Overcome tedious and error-prone manual exception handling • Management’s benefits • Costs against the benefits - productivity • Customer service quality - consistent handling of the exceptions • IT Staff’s benefits • System development and maintenance efforts improved • Systematic fine-grained requirements elicitation (of exceptions) • Capturing requirements from domain specific knowledge (of exceptions)

  18. Future Work • Performance measurement • Other unexpected exceptions and events • Artificial intelligence in handling the exception events • Agent-based assistance to internal staff and external users • Empirical measurements of the improvement of staff performance and customer satisfaction
