Abstract:

Apparel is the necessity of life. It has played a significant role in the growth of the national economy. However, there are some issues in apparel supply chain, namely high current inventory, low logistics efficiency, difficulty in identifying items and achieving quality traceability, and so on. In order to solve these problems, two value-added service patterns, namely, box code (RFID) with item code (QR code) and box code (QR code) with item code (QR code), are built based on the application of RFID and QR code. The results show that applying RFID and QR code technology to the logistic of clothing industry e-commerce will better improve efficiency of clothing supply chain logistics and decrease current inventory. Moreover, it makes it easier to identify items and achieve quality traceability.
