Abstract: AbstractMass customization combines the contrasting elements of mass production and customization. This provides industrial organizations with a high level of flexibility and effectiveness, enabling them to gain a competitive advantage. In this field, control technologies could play a key role in supplying automatic access to information. One of the emerging technologies is radio frequency identification (RFID). RFID system now represents one of the technologies which could transform processes across supply chains (SC). Major benefits of RFID applications in SC management are oriented toward sharing information with partners, tracing objects, and share information. While an increasing interest in RFID technology can be found in scientific literature, few studies are focused on the performances of RFID technology applications in SC management.First, this chapter proposes, a classification of papers found in a scientific database from 2000 to 2008. Second, a general framework based on the Supply Chain Operations References (SCOR) model, which aims to define a standardized tool for evaluating performances in SCs of RFID applications.
