Which of the following constraints typically is a significant barrier to replacing bar-coded product identification with radio frequency identification (RFID)?
A.
The cost of the RFID system is difficult to estimate.
B.
The benefits of the change are difficult to quantify.
The correct answer is A. The cost of the RFID system is difficult to estimate.
Explanation:
While RFID offers numerous advantages over barcodes, one significant challenge is accurately determining the total cost of implementing an RFID system. This complexity stems from several factors: the tag cost, software cost, installation cost, maintenance cost, etc.
Estimating these individual components and their combined impact on the overall cost can be challenging, making it a significant barrier for businesses considering RFID adoption.
Why other options are incorrect:
B. The benefits of the change are difficult to quantify:
While quantifying the exact benefits of RFID can be complex, there are well-established advantages like improved inventory accuracy, faster checkout times, and enhanced supply chain visibility. These benefits, though difficult to precisely measure, are generally recognized as substantial.
D. The information in RFID tags is not visible:
This is incorrect. RFID tags store information electronically, which is not visible to the human eye. However, RFID readers can access and decode this information, making it readily usable for tracking and identification purposes. The invisibility of the tag information is a feature, not a drawback, as it allows for tags to be embedded within products or affixed to surfaces without compromising aesthetics or functionality.
I think it should be B. Cost estimation is as difficult quantifying benefit of the change from bar code to rfid. Bar code will deliver great deal of rfid benefits at a cheaper cost more so with likely capital cost involved in the change.
The costs associated with RFID can be difficult to estimate because they include not just individual RFID tag costs but also infrastructure changes and capacity increases for filtering, storage, processing, and analysis.
