Abstract: The purpose of this research is to develop a model for investigating the impact of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology on supply chain and performance. The proposed model has been analysed using structural equations modelling (SEM). The study population includes Iran's manufacturing companies. Findings indicate the positive impact of applying RFID on lean, agile and leagile chains and performance. In addition, the lean, agile and leagile chains are three predicting indicators of performance. Findings can assist managers in developing the application of RFID technology; applying strategies of lean, agile and leagile chains; and designing more effective mechanisms for performance improvement.
