Rfid at the Metro Group

Given the facts in the case and as outlined in more detail in this case study, it is our recommendation that Mierdorf and Wolfram move to the case level RFID tagging process. The improvements up and down the supply chain in accuracy, inventory control, reduced labor costs are enough to at least continue with the RFID

to 6%. The introduction of RFID would be a costly and time-consuming process, but Wal-Mart hoped

Strong investment in Information technology to streamline information flows and product flows along supply chain(RFID, Retail-Link system)

As RFID technology evolves and becomes less expensive, there will be an increase in the number of companies and vendors using the technology. Eventually, new applications will be developed and these systems may even be able to solve common or unique problems associated with business in today’s market.

In 2017 Target, Avery Dennison has announced a global Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) partnership agreement with Target Corporation, as part of Target's deployment of RFID technology to more than 1,600 stores to help maximize inventory availability and deliver an enhanced guest experience (Avery Dennison RFID announces Partnernship with Target , 2017). Boosted the company competitive priorities in Product and Value Flexibility, by providing an accurate picture of product availability, therefore improve customer experiences. Henceforth, improve the cost of inventories, stock mismanagement, and timely replenish of product.

* Insource RFID to reduce unnecessary future costs. Take the initial hit and you will save money in the long run.

To justify the objective I have begun the research with literature revi9ew and by collecting the secondary data from the articles, peer reviewed journals, related research papers and books. Journals and articles were important to understand the challenges and risk RFID technology is facing .I Addition to data collected from another sources are discussing with industries who implemented and using RFID technology to track their products, Reviews and people who are technically involved with RFID technology helped me to collect the data required for my

The RFID system will open new sales opportunities to larger markets such as the Department of Defense (DoD) and Wal-Mart. Who are now demanding that RFID tracking as a condition of contracting.

Senator Debra Bowen proposed a bill in Redondo Beach, California contending that the organization using the tag and its information capability must: have customer consent, detach or destroy the tag after leaving the store, and the customer be guaranteed anonymity (Anonymous 91).  It wasn’t until this planned legislation protecting citizens’ personal information existed, that privacy was defended against the RFID technology.  Initiative is in place to use RFID technology in the market.  For instance, Wal-mart projects 250 stores with active tag system by June 2005 (Dipert 54).  The San Francisco Public Library has also planned to spend $1 million on a RFID system, to associate personal identity to book checkouts (Anonymous 92).  Under these conditions, corporations or the government may have the ability to monitor anyone's personal information or activity.  In order to realize the effect of RFID tags, in addition to new laws, advocates of civil rights such as the ACLU and CASPIAN have to be

First advancements in RFID technology coupled with decreasing costs have allowed RFID to gain greater prominence and therefore a higher level of adoption. The following are examples of the unique capabilities offered by RFID:

Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) have been used in the retail industry for more than fifty years as an inventory assessment application tracking product sales and distribution data for goods and services. Current trends of RFID for this industry have been favorable for hi-tech state-of-the-art industries, yet in the past years to 2014 device prices have fallen at an estimated average annual 5.3% primarily due to its characteristic as a "throwaway" inventory or control device. This market segment uses tags or labels, which are scanned and ultimately leave the store with the consumer, eventually disposing of the empty carton or used product. Retailer’s using this application method require multiple components and suppliers are

tesco gains huge flexibility and performance by using rfid technology. similar and new technologies such as rtid (real time identification) can improve even exist benefits and solve problem out like

Over the last four years, I’ve delt a great deal with RFID supply chains, and have seen first hand the positive advancements that are made with them. If given the opportunity to lead this project with your company, I believe I can close the gap between Intel and it’s competitors.

RFID technology is not only used at gas stations, restaurants, and department but also at
