In Japan, the national Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) initiated and sponsored a number of RFID trials between 2003 and 2006. METI selected the Japanese publishing industry, one of the largest publishing industries in the world, for an early RFID trial on item level to increase industry profitability. This paper examines the 2006 METI RFID trial in the Japanese publishing industry following the case study methodology. The study derives some findings regarding the suitability of item-level RFID to enhance supply chain efficiency and effectiveness and with regard to the effective configuration of the trial in the Japanese publishing industry. It concludes with a summary and an outlook to further research.
