Abstract
In the last decade, enterprises and businesses greatly have had emphasize on e-tracking and e-services. However, a coherent informational architecture and systematic definition is lacking yet. Although, recently new technologies like RFIDs with advanced applications have been introduced, many companies cannot compare advantagous and disadvantages of available technologies to implement in their organization. The main reason is each technology needs its own infrustructure and has some constraints in terms of flexibility, cost, necessary skills, compatibility to current systems and etc. In this article, I tried to demonstrate how a company located in Iran, developed a procedural evaluation to select the most appropriate tecgnology to be adopted. The results may not be the same for every companies, but the procedure is valid to be applied by any company. Simulation outcomes at the end of this paper will support our evaluation procedure and decision making process.

The overview of experts interviews and researches reflect no identical perception about tracking systems exist and architecture in Iran atomotive industry. The definitions change along type of tasks and activities in organizations and sometimes is dependent to the industry a company is doing its business, the concept is the same.
Paying attention to quality diversion on strategic, tactical and operational production stages and review of both tracking and tracing which further will be explained in the definition survey, two classification can be extracted for tracking and tracing systems. First is restricted definition which means provide the visibility to where work is at all times and its disposition and gives the
