Here is a database of articles that I found on the internet which talks about many of the topics we have covered so far in class.

I thought people might find this interesting but this is not the main topic of this blog.
The topic I wanted to talk about is RFID, after reading about the new advancement in RFID my interest became piqued. Why has RFID still not caught on? It was supposed to be the next great thing in inventory management but appears to have been stalled by high costs. As recently as a couple of years ago it was thought that Wal-Mart was going to require all of their suppliers to use RFID tags on all of their goods. Thinking about this topic I decided to look back at the main advantages vs. disadvantages of RFID. I was able to find a good blog/article that listed these at: http://www.inventoryops.com/RFIDupdate.htm . I will not bore you in this blog with the specifics, but as talked about below the situation boils down to cost. For anyone who is interested this link does a good job of updating you on the RFID situation. Also if you have any thoughts or feelings about RFID please comment.
