The researches of supply chain management become more and more important in the now society. Any enterprise has own supplier and has own distributor and the retailer nearly, the enterprise's goal is how manages these relations about up and down streams to obtain bigger benefit. In the fast consumable profession, the most goods have certain life cycle, and have certain nature time. The goal which we study is how to sell the goods for the stock to be least in the guarantee nature time, for the few lose, and for obtaining the most benefit. The coordination of enterprises and the coordination of the enterprise and the customer cannot leave the immediate information. The immediate information can control and track the enterprise's product flow. So it can guarantee the information of the upstream and downstream enterprise which is important for the production and the sale and so can know the information about the customers. With the development of the technology and electronic commerce, the RFID technology acts on the perishable supply chain management. Because the RFID technology has the formidable data and the collection of information processing function, may coordinate supplies chain's each link to cause the information and the data unobstructed, to supply chain's upstream and downstream value and to increase the income.Though the RFID technology we may know the information and the data of the perishable food, and us the computer system to analysis. This is a kind of practical method in the perishable supply chain management. Regarding the perishable food, its life is certain. How to sell the product in certain life is the essential question. Many retail merchants will often discount. Discounts usually is only depends on the experience of the retail merchant and competitor's response. But it lacks certain accuracy. The RFID technology may collect the product's messages and data. We may understand the upstream and downstream stock and sales situation, thus establish the real-time database. Though the historical database, the computer system can process and simulate. We can predict and make the appropriate dynamic price for the perishable food. The paper unifies the RFID technology studies the perishable food's stock management under this technical dynamic price method.The first, introduces the RFID system. Narrated that the RFID technology and the principle of work, analyzed the RFID system's composition, understood how the RFID technology and this system to operate and utilize.The next, through the data collection and the memory function of the RFID technology we can understand the technology function which produces on the entire supply chain. We consider those from these links, the manufacturing link, saves the link, the allocation retailing link, the transport the link, the retail the link as well as the post-sale service link. The RFID technology's appearance has realized the link's coordination and the information sharing which can be insightful for the entire supply chain, and increased each link's income.Once more, establishing the mathematical model to analyze the RFID technology can bring more incomes to the seller. This paper establish the model to analyze the grow profit under the dynamic price and fixed price. Draws the conclusion in the comparison foundation, the profit which is under the RFID technology and the dynamic price is more than the profit under the fixed price. Before model building, has made a manufacturer and retail merchant's gambling analysis, only then reduces RFID technology cost both to achieve the cooperation, we have the model conclusion. It can bring more benefits using the RFID technology to the perishable food supply chain dynamic price management.Finally, the RFID technology application has faced each kind of question and has many successful cases. RFID technology whether become large-scale formation commercial, proposes and solves these key questions is very essential.
