What is Perishable Product

Chapter 8
Handbook of Research on Global Supply Chain Management
A product has short life time or one that easily deteriorates. These items include fresh foods, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals. This short lifetime complicates the inventory management as they must be processed and move through the supply chain for sale to customers before they perish and lose either part of their value or their entire value.

Abstract
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which enables real time data collection, has been proposed as a promising solution in perishable inventory management. Research shows that RFID technology has many benefits for perishable products; therefore, this chapter presents an overview of RFID technology and its applications to perishable inventory management. The findings provide a comprehensive review and support the managers in evaluating an investment decision to implement RFID and employ RFID in inventory management for perishable products.
