Jack Link's Beef Jerky Case Study: "Wal-Mart Didn't Make Me Do It" Part Three: Expected Benefits and Lessons Learned
Joseph J. Strub 3/10/2005 12:00:00 AM
The nagging question is, "Can SMEs justify RFID?" The answer is an emphatic "Yes." While SMEs may not have the economies of scale of large companies, their business case could end up being more positive since they typically do not face the “innovator’s dilemma” of an established barcode infrastructure.

Jack Link's Beef Jerky Case Study: "Wal-Mart Didn't Make Me Do It" Part Two: An Approach to RFID Implementation
Joseph J. Strub 3/9/2005 12:00:00 AM
A four-phased approach allowed for the gradual assimilation of a new technology into the organization. Start small and feel your way, but think and plan for bigger opportunities. The benefits are gained and eventually the technology would be deployed throughout all of the manufacturing and distribution facilities.

Joseph J. Strub 3/8/2005 12:00:00 AM
Some companies want the benefits of new technology, such as RFID, on their timetable without a gun loaded with threats of lost customer sales, pointed at their corporate heads. This article looks at a company that chose to get in front of the technology curve before the information highway passed it by.

The Three Rs of RFID: Rewards, Risk, and ROI
Tom Pisello 3/5/2005 12:00:00 AM
Prominent organizations and retailers, such as Walmart and the US Department of Defense are taking advantage of radio frequency identification, which promises real time tracking of products from the manufacturing floor to the checkout terminal. Despite the typical risks associated with adopting any early-stage technology, the competitive advantage and bottom-line business benefits of RFID are significant to both retailers and suppliers. It can significantly decrease warehouse, distribution, and inventory costs; increase margins; and enhance customer service.

The Instant Supply Chain Challenge
Bill McBeath 1/28/2005 12:00:00 AM
For the past few weeks, all eyes (and hearts) have been on the devastation caused by the Indian Ocean Tsunami. What is needed in a disaster like this is an "Instant Supply Chain"--ultra-rapid creation of a distribution network with coordination between the many decentralized players. To meet these challenges, relief agencies and governments can learn much from the supply chain advances made by the private sector, but the private sector can also learn from the successes and failures of these relief efforts.

The Third Paradigm
Ann Grackin 1/28/2005 12:00:00 AM
Supply chain systems to date have represented the back-end of that process of servicing markets and have taken us a long way in replacing assets with information. But the fact is, building products still takes a long time. Contrastingly, markets require short response times--days. For the last few years, we have begun the process of trying to understand the unplanned event. The first and second paradigm systems deal in knowns--this is what I think I need and therefore this is what I will buy. The Third Paradigm focuses on the uncertainty elements to understand risk. This is the key. Isolate, understand and organize the chaos—creating an operational and financial model.
