In this study, we evaluate the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for improving
remanufacturing efficiency. We report the results of discrete-event simulation model that analyzes how
RFID creates value within the remanufacturing operation. We find that the simulated gains from using
RFID are quite modest, and propose alternative justifications for the major benefits seen in practice. We
then provide a framework for deciding on the adoption of active RFID technology such as real-time
location system (RTLS) for easy identification of components in the remanufacturing process and the
adoption of passive RFID for permanently tagging components of remanufacturable products.
