近年來，環境問題的重要性被製造商不斷重申與強調，而綠色供應鏈的概念也和閉環式的產品生命週期設計一起被提出，以進一步加強供應連的綠色環保性．與此同時，無線射頻識別技術在綠色供應鏈各環節上的應用可以在產品由生產階段向回收階段移動的過程中助其取得更佳的可見性．儘管如此，由於無線射頻識別技術高昂的建置費用，許多爭議依舊存在．因此，此篇研究將針對是否應在綠色供應鏈中採用無線射頻識別技術提出一個有效的模型，來評估與產品信息相關的成本．此研究涉及到的供應鏈環節包括生產廠商，銷售商家與回收中心．總的來說，本模型可幫助決策者在將信息相關之成本最小化的前提下，評估是否應在某些產品上採用無線射頻識別技術． The importance of environmental issues is becoming increasingly emphasized by manufacturers in the recent decades, and the concept of green supply chain has been proposed, along with the closed-loop product lifecycle design, to improve the greenness of the supply chain. Meanwhile, the use of RFID technology on supply chain nodes may help to achieve better product visibility during its movement from the production stage to the recycling stage. However, debates still exist due to the high implementation costs of the RFID systems. Thus, our research sets up a useful model to evaluate information related costs in green supply chain, for whether RFID technology should be implemented. The nodes to be measured include the producer’s factory, the retailer’s shop and the recycler’s center. In summary, our model is able to help decision makers find out whether RFID tagging should be adopted on certain kinds of products, in order to minimize information costs.
