tracking technology is beginning to be on the agenda of logistics operators in Latin America. Use to optimize distribution processes, reducing costs and improving response times
currently in the region, several companies have begun conducting RFID pilots, applying this technology to several key processes of their supply chain, such as procurement, manufacturing and distribution. Every day more companies turn to consultants to begin implementing these practices.
This shows a very positive message in Latin America, as it is now time to begin to direct our efforts to optimize logistics processes all companies have the technology as the main ally. While major companies in the retail sector, food, and pharmaceuticals among others, have begun to make drivers, still the road that lies ahead is long enough to determine the true benefits and productivity improvements that come with this practice. So far is that companies are aware of what this concept, as used above all and most complex is the where it is used and why.
In Europe and the United States this concept is much more mature and are hundreds of companies for which this concept is the common denominator in their agenda. Today we can see different case studies in different industries, including aerospace, hospitals, industry fruit, sports, mining, food, etc.. With the application of this technology have found different types of benefits, such as reducing inventory costs, reduced response times and improved product traceability throughout the lifecycle.

The new road
Efficient management of supply chain mark today, the difference between the leading and competitive in an industry and which are not, as the ultimate success of a business will depend on how managers can integrate and manage the complex web of business relationships the company.
Globalization has certainly had a profound impact on the design of strategies for supply chain. The products are supplied not only from local suppliers, national or regional. In many industries to import raw materials from the East is much cheaper than any alternative in the world. For these reasons it is imperative to design innovative strategies that seek benefits for increasing the competitiveness of companies.
RFID finally can offer tangible benefits for companies and customers, revolutionizing the way of practice in supply chains to meet all the requirements of customers and consumers. RFID will improve inventory flows along all links of the supply chain, reinvent the way we currently design the distribution centers, taking into account all the benefits of technology. From this you can know the entire flow of product from its place of origin to point of consumption, enabling companies to design strategies that promise to improve service, reduce inventory carrying costs, distribution costs, automatic replenishment systems, reverse logistics strategies, and ultimately this will benefit customers get better service at lower cost.
