The business objectives for ups are plain and simple to give you the best service possible and the lowest price possible. They have been trying to keep it that ways since the started back in 1907 with 2 bicycles and 2 people and now into the company it is today. The input of UPS include the package information, customer signature, pickup, and delivery. The processing of UPS”s package tracking system are all the data they it has to recognize. They can find all this information out thorough a simple bar code. UPS output is amazing it all starts with one bar code. But its not just any bar code it can tell the drivers all they need to know about the package and who it is being delivered to. The drivers also use a handheld called a Delivery Information Acquisitions System (DIAD) they use this everyday it is one of the reasons UPS is a step above the rest. The bar code actually can be refereed to all input processing and output cause it is used in each stage. Information systems are very important to ups. They spend a billions dollars in information technology each year so they can stay a step above there competition. By during this they know how to best serve there customers while still keeping costs low. The skills that are need in various career fields I believe are knowledge of technology. Cause technology is ever where in ups from the drivers to the CEO’s. Technology is a big part in why ups is among the leaders in there field of business. Technology helps various career fields perform there jobs a lot easier. If it wasn’t for technology the drivers would not have there handheld that can tell you where the package is going when it should be there who the person is none of that. Technology saves UPS so much time and effort. Technology makes there jobs a lot less complicated than they would be without it.
