A Framework for the Implementation of RFID Systems

Abstract

There are an increasing number of organizations planning to implement Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems to enhance their competitiveness. Due to the novelty of the technology, many managerial challenges exist in determining and planning for the implementation of such systems. These challenges often lead to wasted efforts and resources, as well as to failed implementations. This paper presents a systematic and holistic RFID implementation framework which has been validated by both users and experts. The framework outlines the important tasks to be performed in each step of the implementation process. To enable practitioners to make informed go/no‐go decisions, essential considerations of implementation are also discussed in this paper. Furthermore, the critical success factors for the deployment of such systems are also elaborated

RFID technology for hazardous waste management and tracking

“…To achieve this goal, the group of researchers applied a six-step generic framework indicated for the implementation of RFID systems (Ting et al, 2013).…”

“…This study applies a six-step generic framework proposed by Ting et al (2013), to the implementation of RFID solutions. The scope of the project (step 1) was defined based on the knowledge of the RFID technology limitations (e.g.…”

RFID within High-Tech Clusters – Towards a Knowledge-Based Economy

“…Research Results RFID technology will bring a lot of real benefits when it is successfully implemented; however, this does not denote that it is a perfect solution that fails to have limitations (Ting, Tsang & Tse, 2013). The implementation of this technology in manufacturing organisations is a complicated process for large-scale, in general, and for small-to-medium manufacturers, in particular (Al-Odeh, 2012).…”

“…It allows organisations and companies to stay more secure, reliable, and accurate (Ahsan, Shah & Kingston, 2010). RFID has revealed its potential to revolutionise the existing information technology systems in order to enhance their competitiveness, and it is undoubtedly a highly versatile technology that can serve the needs of diverse industries (Ting, Tsang & Tse, 2013).…”

“…These factors can be classified by (Ting, Tsang & Tse, 2013): technological dimension (selection of appropriate hardware and software, effective testing, sufficient technical support, clear process, data routing, clear performance measures), managerial dimension (clear vision, good project management skills, good risk management skills), and social dimension (teamwork, trust, effective communication). Al-Odeh (2012) argues that the most important factors that need to be considered during the process of implementation of the RFID technology include strategic thinking about the importance of developing this technology.…”
