Economic Analysis of Automatic Identification Technologies for

Tinker Air Force Base: The Methodological Approach

Introduction

The objective of this research is to provide a fairly accurate economic analysis of specific

automatic identification technologies (AIT) suitable for the Tinker Air Force base. Tinker is

required to comply with the mandate given by the Department of Defense (DoD). There are a

wide variety of possible AITs under consideration. Several documents outline the various

benefits and shortcomings associated with unique identification technologies. Some of these

benefits may directly impact processes within Tinker resulting in savings once the technology is

implemented (hard savings) whereas other benefits may indirectly impact Tinker’s processes

(soft savings). In any case the benefits that Tinker will likely incur and to what extent these

benefits will impact Tinker’s processes are the basis for the determination of the value of these

AITs.

As mentioned previously, there are a number of technologies currently available that can

uniquely identify parts, assemblies, and assets. Listed below are the technologies that will be

considered in this analysis and how it may be applied:

• Active Radio-Frequency Identification (Active RFID): An active RFID tag is placed

directly on the asset when the asset is uniquely identified

• Passive Radio-Frequency Identification (Passive RFID): A passive RFID tag is placed

directly on the asset when the asset is uniquely identified

• Two-Dimensional Barcodes (2D Barcodes): A 2D barcode is placed directly on the asset

as well as the box when the asset is uniquely identified
