RFID Strategy... Your RFID strategy should address the high-level business
drivers that could be enabled by RFID technology, such as supply chain operational
efficiency and increased customer service levels. Those business drivers should be put in
the context of the business strategy, such as the business needs for increased working
capital through inventory reduction and achieving higher customer satisfaction levels
through better on-time delivery and more reliable lead times. With that business backdrop,
an RFID technology strategy has a good foundation for creating a portfolio of RFID-enabled
initiatives which can be broken into manageable work units or projects. Each individual project can be sized to target a specific amount of business value and shaped to address portions of enterprise scope, such as geographic, lines of business, or customer segments, for example. This becomes the RFID project portfolio that can be governed by enterprise leaders, who can evaluate the cost, value, and risk of individual projects and the entire portfolio. As with any new technology, the first few implementations should be sized to prove the concept, validate the business case, and check the scalability of the technology. Options should be provided for accelerating the implementation, in the event that the technology proves valuable and the business wants to accelerate the time to benefit. Simple techniques, such as scope management, parallel projects, and leverage of best practices, may be employed to provide accelerate of benefit realization. This approach is applicable to creating strategy for RFID or any other emerging technology. |
