RFID 기술도입이 SCM 경쟁우위에 미치는 영향: 방위산업의 실증연구

The purpose of this study is to verify positive effects of RFID to domestic defense companies on SCM performance and effects on competitiveness of defense companies. In addition, we investigated the effects of the B2B partnership on SCM in consideration of the relationship between manufacturers(purchasers) and their contractors(suppliers) who relate to expensive high-tech weapon systems. A model was built to conduct empirical analysis by collecting data from domestic defense companies. To demonstrate the effects of RFID on SCM, I considered five major factors in the analysis; product identification, traceability, compatibility, technical reliability and mobility as key factors of the introduction of RFID system. To demonstrate the effects on the competitive advantage of defense companies, the analysis took consideration of the flexibility of supply chain and the factor for re- ducing the lead time as the factors of SCM. One of the major findings of this study is that the study shows that the introduction of RFID technology can improve the performance of SCM. Secondly, the study shows that the flexibility of supply chain and the reduction of the lead time have significant influence on the competitive advantage of defense companies. Thirdly, the study shows that inter-business partnership as moderating variable has significant influence on the relationship between RFID and SCM. The study has some empirical limits in that there are not many companies with established and operated RFID and SCM and the subjects of survey only divided into two groups, manufacturers and suppliers who made a response to each question on inter-business partnership as a moderating variable.
