At the end of the 1990s, the US Department of Defense ’s Quartermaster Supply Bureau was responsible for managing and transporting as many as 46 million items each year. These items range from fruits and soft drinks to bulletproof vests, gasoline, and X-ray machines. The total value is as high as US $ 83.2 billion. In order to reduce the expenditure on transportation management, the authorities decided to put 23 warehouses under one RFID system for management, and merge and reorganize the original 42 sets of business and support processes. Through the successful implementation of this RFID system, the US Department of Defense Quartermaster Supply Bureau has successfully saved nearly $ 1.8 billion. After more than two years of reorganization, the US Defense Supply Supply Agency ’s staffing also decreased from 65,000 to 21,500.

        Through the use of RFID technology, Wal-Mart can save labor costs of 8.35 billion US dollars each year and recover more than 2 billion US dollars lost due to theft. According to Kearney’s analysis and summary, the benefits of retailers using RFID technology will come from three aspects: ① due to reduced inventory, the one-time cash saving is about 5% of the total inventory; ② the annual reduction of storage and warehouse labor costs by 7.5% ; ③ Reduced out-of-stock items.
