In the past, UPS relied on historical data and know-how from expert planners to track package status, but that approach was imprecise and scaled poorly. “The processes and approaches of the past are not going to help UPS adjust to the very dynamic nature of supply chain management today,” says UPS chief information and engineering officer (CIEO) Juan Perez. “Our customers today have much more complex supply chains.
