UPS from Shipping to Supply Chain
How would you expect firms to interact with UPS.
1. Companies have had to constantly evolve and change to stay in business. The internet has brought our world closer together, making it easier to find raw materials, components or parts to create products. While companies can place orders on the internet or over the phone, these raw materials then have to be transported to a manufacturing facility, where they can be transformed into a certain product. Once that product is produced it is sent to a reseller or a retail store and of course directly to a consumers home or office.
As companies have become global the need for the successful and efficient shipping of those products/goods has become pertinent to a companies success.
To make sure supply meets demand companies can restock products based on information provided by RFID, (radio frequency identification device).
UPS is crucial in the success of all aspects of buying, selling and manufacturing. It doesn't matter what is bought or sold, if no goods are actually received.
Manufacturers, resellers, government and auctioneers on eBay all have alternative delivery options. Some ways UPS provides a greater value to these various types of customers than its competitors can.
2. Speaking from experience, I can discuss the benefits of UPS for shipping and receiving globally.
I worked for a textile designer that had designed a fabric pattern in various custom colors, that she in turn sold to a global company. This company manufactured office furniture and had offices in the US and Europe. However, the textile mill that developed the replicated fabric in the custom colors was located in Korea. The designer wanted the final say in product to ensure her design and colors were replicated to her satisfaction. In order for all of these variables to take place, all companies involved used UPS. The companies global availability and delivery success rates were pertinent to products, development, production, delivery etc.
Not only did we send back and forth to Korea, we also sent to New York, New Jersey and England. I was able to track packages and know definitively if a package was delivered and to whom. This is where UPS excels, after listening to the Podcast, UPS as a company is doing everything to it can think of to an efficient delivery company. They monitor, measure and calculate delivery times, fuel consumption, ignition time and even how much time it takes for a driver to buckle their seat belt. UPS is constantly calculating and evaluating the driver/deliverers time and effectiveness. They are constantly striving for perfection, what more could a company want, from the company that controls the deliveries of all your materials and finished products?
