Wal-Mart persists with its RFid tag initiatives

Wal-Mart is continuing with its RFid tag initiatives by adding new uses for the supply chain technology and is getting more partners and suppliers to comply with its RFid mandates. The company started implementing RFid since January 2005 after conducting pilot tests at its distribution centers in Dallas.

Wal-Mart has had a return on investment without any extensive process changes. The benefits that Wal-Mart has got are that out of stock items are being replenished three times faster than before and the amount of out of stock items that have to be manually filled has been cut by 10%.
