This research paper: A 10 page paper discussing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in terms of Wal-Mart's supply chain. It is not yet cost effective to use RFID tags at the item level, but that is Wal-Mart's goal, one shared by other retailers. Though it enables a degree of automation that has enabled organizations such as Wal-Mart to save on operating costs by being able to operate more efficiently, the bar code still requires a line of sight in order to be read. It requires physical handling by a human, which always increases costs. RFID tags increasingly are linked to network-resident information rather than carrying their own information. This is seen as bringing down the cost within two or three years so that it will be cost effective to use RFID at the item level. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
