Nowadays, industrial organizations have to face a turbulent environment, which is caused by the globalization of the economy and saturated markets. Among other things, this development results in increasing product variants with specific configurations, decreasing lot sizes and short delivery lead times. Especially job-shop production systems that are characterized by a high flexibility, undirected value streams and a high proportion of manual working steps are affected by this development. In order to cope with these challenges, modern sensor technologies, such as RFID (Radio frequency identification), are indispensable elements to enhance the information management on the shop floor. Especially the lack of information about the actual location of orders and its corresponding material can be resolved by modern identification technologies. This paper identifies the potential of integrating RFID-based real-time location and product data to enhance the performance level of a typical job shop production.
