Data is largely considered an invaluable asset but if mishandled, it's just more junk in the drawer. To [URL='https://www.ciodive.com/news/boeing-cio-says-trapped-data-hinders-analytical-capability/514101/']unlock data's potential[/URL], it needs effective guidance coupled with tools and direction from a qualified workforce. The United Parcel Service (UPS) has been creating predictive and prescriptive tools for more than a decade, Jack Levis, senior director of Process Management at UPS, told CIO Dive in an email. As early as 2003, the shipping company launched Package Flow Technologies, which included predictive models, planning, execution and descriptive analysis tools, he said. About 10 years later, in 2013 [URL='https://www.pressroom.ups.com/pressroom/ContentDetailsViewer.page?ConceptType=Factsheets&id=1426321616277-282']On-Road Integrated Optimization and Navigation[/URL] (ORION) was deployed and added "proprietary advanced optimization to better plan and execute drivers' routes," he said. ORION used the same data foundation of Package Flow Technologies. [/QUOTE]
