RFID Assessments Drive Immediate Efficiencies In Supply Chain Execution

by Patrick M. Connaughton

with John Ragsdale, Noha Tohamy, Elisse Gaynor


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Many companies are currently assessing where RFID can help them gain the most efficiency and cost savings. The initial results for a strong business case are not encouraging as stakeholders become more educated and are able to separate the myths from the reality. But there is a silver lining: As firms re-evaluate their existing processes to determine where their supply chains can benefit from RFID, they often uncover simple alternatives for improvement. In many cases, these process changes leverage existing technology to drive greater benefit than systematically retooling applications to support RFID across the supply chain. Supply chain executives will have to carefully consider closing existing efficiency gaps with mature technology before taking on full-scale RFID adoption.
