Accenture Helps VF in RFID Tagging for Wal-Mart Compliance
Overview VF Corp. (VF), a United States based branded apparel manufacturer, is implementing RFID in order to meet the January 2005 Wal-Mart compliance mandate. This study describes how VF is working with Accenture to incorporate RFID into its existing operations as well as to create a long-term strategy. Wal-Mart operates retail stores in various formats around the world. When VF initially assessed its ability to meet the 2005 mandate deadline, it quickly realized that it would be beneficial to work with an external IT services firm on its RFID implementation, primarily due to a need for greater resources and to best meet time constraints.
