ABSTRACT

Mandates by large suppliers such as Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense (DOD) are driving development, use, and price of RFID passive technologies in the supply chain. Due to these mandates becoming a main driver for RFID technologies, we provide an overview of the most important organizations mandating that suppliers use RFID technologies. We will discuss DOD, Wal-Mart, and other companies that are considered leaders in supporting RFID.
