Abstract
To fully understand the capabilities of RFID, it is helpful to understand its benefits in real business situations. We evaluate the impact of RFID throughout the supply chain, delivering efficiencies for three types of organizations: manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. This report provides case study analysis of RFID solution deployment and related business plan.
The report also provides expert analysis of RFID in practice including an evaluation of the RFID value chain, business process life-cycle, business process strategy, market overview and challenges. RFID middleware providers are profiled with device selection criteria is evaluated. Active RFID vendors and products are profiled and evaluated. The report discusses risk profile assessment and risk assessment services. The report also includes eight case studies for RFID implementation and operation.
RFID Business Plan and Financial Assessment
The report contains a
business plan including financial projects and financial assessment with a
working Excel spreadsheet. This information will assist with business case
development, funding, budgeting, and launch of a RFID solution.
