SIMULATION-BASED EVALUATION OF THE COST OF QUALITY ASSOCIATED WITH RFID ADOPTION IN A MANUFACTURING FIRM

In this study, we adapt a previously developed System Dynamics model of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology adoption by an automotive manufacturing firm to evaluate the cost of quality associated with such an endeavor. RFID technology is effective in increasing throughput and preventing quality-related defects in its various applications. Using a foundational model in the discipline of Cost of Quality, this study assesses the quality cost impact of RFID adoption. The goal of this study is to highlight the potential for the positive impact of RFID adoption on a firm's quality objectives. This study is one part of an overarching research direction that intends to shed light on the monetary implications of technology absorption to help firms make informed technology investment decisions. © © American Society for Engineering Management, 2024.
