Since information and its management are seen as important elements of competitive advantage, various information systems support effective supply chain management and decision making. Radio frequency identification (RFID), which is known as a wireless identification technology that allows tracking the movement of the material flow within the supply chain, is one of the means. In Lithuania, RFID is a relatively new technology; therefore, the article aims at determining the level of applying RFID technologies at Lithuanian companies and the factors affecting it.
