The production process of Ford Motor is as follow : By the production line, there are different tool cases around each worker, in each of which there are parts of the same kind. The job of the worker is to mount the parts onto the automobiles. When the parts are going to be run out, the worker needs to pick up a phone and tell the carrier what kind of parts are running low and where is his position. Then the warehouse operator will deliver the parts to him. Since this is a manual operation process, it is very ineffective. Sometimes it takes several hours to obtain the new parts, as a result, the production efficiency is greatly affected. Fortunately, after they has attached RFID labels onto the parts boxes, the situation has been disappeared.        
       
       When the parts are almost consumed, the worker only needs to push the RFID label on the parts case. Then, it will send a signal to the forklift truck driver in the warehouse. The computer can find out which part is needed to be replenished, as well as the location of the parts case, by its unique RFID. In this way, the driver can quickly replenish the parts and update the parts stock record. This can greatly increase the accuracy of the parts stock and can also prevent the situation of stopping the production due to the lack of automobile parts.

       After using RFID labels, Ford Motor has gained noticeable improvement on production efficiency. For the automobiles business, it is a very favorable competitive advantage .
