As RFID deployment increases also among smaller companies, the process of RFID tagging items has become a hot topic. For smaller vendors selling multi-brand garments, source tagging is not a feasible option. However, not being able to source tag doesn’t mean that a company cannot affordably implement RFID into its operations.
Understanding inventory accuracy deterioration is a starting point for evaluating the impacts of RFID counts. The best way to find out how accuracy deteriorates would be to use real measurements and tests. Also, in most real-life cases responsible persons in stores can give good estimates and explanations based on experience. For generic analysis, a mathematical model is useful, with a mathematical model it is easy to analyze the effects of various parameters on the end result.
