Firms Perceptions of Cost
• Generally couldn’t provide estimates
            couldn t
  − “expensive”

• Often assigned costs to things other than product
  tracing

• Very few data exist

• DISCLAIMERS!
Benefits vs. costs at the firm level
         vs
            Benefits                Types of costs
                             • Capital investment and start up
 • Improved supply chain
   management                • Software and associated fees
                             • Equipment
 • Inventory control
                             • Consultants
 • Access to contracts and
                             • Labor and training
   markets
                             • Materials and supplies
 • More targeted recalls
                             • Change in operations
Case Study: LGMA
• Compared different technologies to communicate
  information- assumed information was the same
  − Bar code
  − Active RFID
  − Passive RFID

• Bottom line:
  − Cost to leafy green industry in CA to use barcodes: $3.2M year
  − Cost (industry and societal) of 2006 E. coli O157:H7 in spinach:
   $129M
    • Benefit (illness prevented) of a more rapid system: $16-41M
Case Study: Fresh Cut Produce
         y
Processor
Costs: Sector and Societal
Implications
• Societal costs
  − Lower healthcare costs: loss of life
  − Loss of consumer confidence
  − M j psychological and emotional d
    Major   h l i l d        ti   l damages d t massive
                                            due to  i
    outbreaks
  − Indirect loss in economic output and productivity losses

• Additional considerations:
  − Loss of market share if traceability systems are not similar for whole
    sector
  − Lack of adequate capital, labor, and technology expertise
  − The probability of occurrence of a triggering event/year vs costs and
                                                             vs.
    benefits per sector needs to be further assessed
