Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2004. / Includes bibliographical references. / Various retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, and Albertsons have announced their mandates asking their top suppliers to become RFID enabled beginning 2005. Meeting the mandate has become a sort of cost of doing business with Wal-Mart for suppliers. The objective of this thesis is to look for ways of meeting the mandate and preventing it from just becoming a cost of doing business with Wal-Mart. The thesis explores the various options available to suppliers and identifies the cost and benefit associated with each option and develops an evaluation methodology for the various options. / by Kapil Dev Singh. / M.Eng.in Logistics
