The implementation of RFID throughout the supply chain of a fashion retailing company mayhave a connection with its significant overall efficiency improvement. Therefore, the mainpurpose of this study is to examine which are the effects of the technology's implementation ina specific company's case. The research approach used is based on the thorough review of therelevant supply chain and RFID literature and on the empirical study of the specific company.The literature review shows that RFID implementation, even though it is very beneficial undera process oriented point of view, it is, in many cases, not a feasible solution for the companies,mainly due to its high cost of initial investment and item tagging. The case study results, onthe contrary, indicate that the integration of the technology can be very successful and costefficient when used for medium to high valued products.
