What are the inputs, processing and outputs of UPS's


Package tracking system?
Inputs:
Scannable bar-coded labels attached to the package, which
contain detailed information about the sender, the
destination, and when the package should arrive
UPS drivers own a DIAD, which can access a wireless cell
phone network on which as soon as the driver logs on, his
or her days route is downloaded onto the handheld. The
DIAD also automatically captures customers signatures
along with pickup and delivery information. Package
tracking information is then transmitted to UPSs computer
network for storage and processing.
UPS can monitor and even re-route packages throughout
the delivery process

Inputs: The inputs include package information, customer


signature, pickup, delivery, time-card data, current location
(while en route), and billing and customer clearance
documentation.
Processing: The data are transmitted to a central computer and
stored for retrieval. Data are also reorganized so that they can
be tracked by customer account, date, driver, and other
criteria such as the consolidation of orders for efficient final
delivery of packages.
Outputs: The outputs include pickup and delivery times,
location while en route, and package recipient. The outputs
also include various reports, such as all packages for a
specific account or a specific driver or route, as well as
summary reports for management.
