COST‐BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF AN RFID ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM INTRODUCTION This paper outlines the cost‐benefit analysis of using Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in an asset‐tracking application. To facilitate the analysis‚ RFID will be compared against the incumbent technology‚ bar‐coding. An experiment comparing these two technologies was conducted‚ and the findings from this experiment are further analysed. Security

This is an introductory case‚ and yet it introduces a powerful new approach for building an ABC model. Considerable theory is illustrated in how we build the Sippican time-driven ABC (TDABC) model. Also‚ the (B) case introduces an important link‚ previously recognized but not exploited‚ in how to embed an ABC model into the budgeting process‚ replacing line-item budgeting with an integrated‚ analytic approach. The case discussion provides insight and confidence about the feasibility of building a
