Background of the Study
Effective inventory management in schools is crucial to ensure that educational resources, equipment, and materials are available, properly utilized, and tracked. In many secondary schools, especially in Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, inefficient inventory management systems result in the misplacement, underutilization, or loss of valuable resources. Traditional inventory management methods, which rely on manual tracking and paper records, are prone to errors, delays, and inefficiencies.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a viable solution to improve inventory management processes. RFID systems use radio waves to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects, providing real-time data on the location and status of items. By integrating RFID into school inventory management systems, schools can significantly enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and speed of inventory tracking. This can reduce the time spent on inventory checks, minimize human error, and ensure better utilization of resources.
