Full Description

In today's hyper-competitive business climate, organizations are always under pressure to adapt to new technological trends or hot business process models. Based on the author's experience testing and implementing RFID technology in both industrial and military cases, this text explains how to evaluate the need for this technology. The author focuses on what problems RFID is meant to solve, if such problems exist in an organization, and what metrics to use for effective decision making. After establishing what RFID is and how it fits into the systems concept, the book discusses current RFID applications around the world, reveals key metrics for decision making as well as how to develop new metrics unique to RFID, demonstrates a war game for exploring RFID, and presents statistical methods for analyzing the data collected from the war games or gathered during implementation.
