Abstract
Simultaneity with development of science and technology, Concurrent
with the development of science and technology in modern methods of obtaining
information quickly, the food supply chain in the past few decades,
accelerated in this regard by way of radio frequency identification (RFID)
is one of the defining method to improve the competitive advantage of
firms is considered. Use of RFID system is one of the best possible solutions
in supply chain management and logistics problems perishable goods
will be great help. This study aimed to identify and prioritize barriers and
challenges in the development of RFID technology in the supply chain of
food. In this study, the method of fuzzy AHP (FAHP) and QFD is used
so that using FAHP relative importance of each of the food supply chain
metrics designed using QFD weights and Ratings barriers and challenges
of RFID in the chain, food supply was calculated. The results have shown
that the lack of standards has the highest weight among other aspects. After
that, the issue of data security, high price, frequency interference, the
cost of system integration, hardware and software infrastructure, system
compatibility, and social problems in the supply chain are respectively the
highest weights
