    Seminar: "RFID's Impact on Your Supply Chain and Distribution Systems"
                (new for 2005) 

 

How will RFID affect your supply chain systems? Is it going to cost you money, or save you money? Should you utilize a "tag-and-ship" methodology to simply be compliant, or should you try to utilize RFID in your own day to day operations? Will this create efficiencies or slow things down? How will a warehouse management system handle the massive amounts of information that RFID tags can provide? These are questions that all manufacturers and distributors should be asking themselves. Take advantage of this seminar to find out how the RFID changes will impact your bottom line. This is a seminar in business case logic and a common sense approach to RFID technologies that can be very beneficial for any project team. Contact ASC for dates and locations near you.
