    RFID tags placed in shipments by the vendors are small (less than .5 mm square) and relatively inexpensive radio devices that communicate with scanners providing pre-defined information (Wikipedia). The scanners would automatically pick up the information in the tag without requiring any human intervention. When the shipment is identified by the RFID tag, the system will retrieve the information that has been transmitted by the vendor and compare it to the order in the database. If vendors do not place RFID tags in their shipment, wireless bar code scanners must be available for receiving personnel to scan the labels of the shipment to check them into the system. When the materials are moved from receiving to the warehouse, a similar system will record the materials as ready for use after workers have placed the materials in pre-defined kits or in lots of standardized amounts. During the process of preparing materials for production use, workers will attach bar codes or RFID tags, depending on the type of material, to the item or lot so that inventory reduction can be noted when the material is removed from the warehouse and can be tracked throughout the production phase. When a product or lot is completed in production, the identifying label or tag should be used to update the status of the product and indicate its status to be moved to the warehouse or shipping department.…

    The Express mail industry in the United States had a volume of $16-17 billion on expedited shipments in the year 1996. In the years before shipment volumes has risen 15-20% per year. However due to higher competition prices have fallen which resulted in a rise of only 10-15% in total revenues. As an example of this stands the revenue and the operating margin of the biggest player that make up 45% of the market. Federal Express’ revenue has more than quadrupled in the ten years prior 1996, however its operating margin has more than halved. (Exhibit 2) The increase in shipments is partly due to lower prices, which makes it more attractive for businesses to use shipments more frequently and reduce stocks and inventory to compete on the basis of time to market. Also the price sensitive businesses of catalogue retailers required urgent shipment. In order to cope with the quickly growing numbers of packages (1997 Federal Express delivered 2.8 million packages a day), the companies started using their own airplanes rather than using commercial airlines to do the job for them. Processes have become highly automated, starting with hand-held computers that give each parcel its own barcode to track it at each stage of its journey. The information is then passed on to central computers that allow customers to follow its deliveries online. Hub facilities are ever growing now being able to sort up to 300,000 packages per hour (UBS hub).…
