ABSTRACT
In adopting an RFID system, the temptation to follow the “slap and ship” approach can be overwhelming. While this approach may undoubtedly be successful for a few organizations, most organizations would do better otherwise. The unique aspects of each organization’s process really demands additional RFID implementation project planning to help insure success. The implementation of RFID also presents considerations above and beyond the normal project planning process. The fundamental reason behind the additional difculties is that RFID systems can represent a dramatic change in how the organization functions. In situations like this not only must the implementation be properly planned with respect to the project planning process, but the issue of new technology acceptance must also be addressed.
