As supply chains in the textiles and fashion industry become ever more complex and global, and as the shift to mass customisation puts more pressure on a rapid and flexible response to customer needs, there is an urgent need to monitor and improve the efficiency of supply chains in the industry. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies offer a unique opportunity to achieve these goals. Fashion supply chain management using radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies looks at the application of RFID technologies in such areas as order allocation, garment manufacturing, product
