The concurrent implementation of radio frequency identification and Unique Item Identification at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane, in as a model for a Navy supply chain application

Abstract

The purpose of this MBA project is to conduct an analysis of a concurrent implementation of Unique Item Identification (UID) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Crane, Indiana (NSWC Crane). This project will use the developments put into place at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) Extremely High Frequency (EHF) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Branch in San Diego as a baseline for the implementation at NSWC Crane. This project will provide a concurrent RFID/UID implementation plan for NSWC Crane's primary warehouse facility and conduct a Knowledge Value-Added analysis of that implementation.
