UPS’ Innovation Culture Is A Model For Industry And Defense - The National Interest

UPS has a long history of developing and applying technological advances to improve logistics and supply chain management. The company pioneered the field of electronic sorting and tracking of packages. UPS did the same with the use of cargo aircraft and now operates the 10th largest airline in the United States. The company’s state-of-the-art Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky is possibly the world’s largest automated processing facility and is capable of sorting 416,000 packages an hour. UPS is famous for its success in collecting and analyzing data on the operation of its fleet of delivery vehicles. The result of this effort was, in part, the realization that the company could improve the speed of delivery by requiring that drivers only make right turns.
