Abstract

Selecting an automatic identification and data capture (auto-ID) technology, for example RFID and barcodes, is a long-term investment, and it contributes to improving operational efficiency, achieving cost savings and creating opportunities for higher revenues. We identified the set of factors that affect the technology-selection decision for warehouses through a literature review. Then, to investigate the critical factors, and their relative importance to the decision-making process, we conducted a modified two-round Delphi study with a worldwide panel of experts (107) including academics, industry practitioners and consultants in auto-ID technologies. The results show that there are 54 key factors under six categories: organisational factors, operational factors, structural factors, resources, external environment and technology. We verified the results of the Delphi study with interviews carried out with 19 experts across the world. Based on the Delphi study and the interviews’ findings, we developed a multi-stage selection framework for auto-ID technology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
