often in another country. DHL began testing RFID technology in 1998, including three large tests that involved using RFID instead of bar codes (Sullivan, 2005). In 2005, DHL decided to
change their infrastructure to include radio frequency identification (RFID) tags (Sullivan, 2005). The goal was to have every package tagged with the RFID technology by 2015 (Sullivan, 2005). That decision
