본문 COSMOS®: Real-Time Package
Tracking
COSMOS (Customer Operations Service Master On-line System) is a
computerized package tracking system that monitors every phase of the delivery
cycle at FedEx. FedEx employees constantly input information into COSMOS by
several means.
Customer service representatives enter shipping
information into COSMOS through computer terminals, alerting the dispatcher
closest to the pick-up or delivery area. Dispatchers relay pick-up and delivery
information to the courier via DADS, small digitally assisted dispatch computer
systems found in all courier vans.
Hand-held computers, called
SuperTrackers, are used to scan the progress of the package an average of 5
times from pick-up to delivery. Couriers simply scan the bar code on every
waybill with their SuperTracker®, at every stage of the delivery process. Scans
are performed at time of pick-up, on arrival at the origin station, on arrival
at the destination station, when placed on the couriers van before delivery and
on delivery at the recipients address. SuperTrackers retain and transmit package
information such as destination, routing instructions and the type of service
requested.
Once a courier returns to their van, the information is
downloaded from the SuperTracker to DADS, which updates the package location in
the COSMOS system. Thus, a customer can find out at any time exactly where their
package is and when they can expect delivery, whether they call Customer Service
or track the package themselves on the FedEx website.
Constant tracking
allows FedEx to maintain complete control over shipments at every step in the
delivery process. It is such an integral part of the system, that FedEx promises
to deliver all packages within one minute of the delivery
본문내용 information and technology have become increasingly
important. Over the years, the FedEx name has become synonymous with a tradition
of automation, customer service and technological leadership. Since the company
pioneered tracking and routing technologies in the early nineteen eighties,
FedEx has developed one of the largest integrated telecommunications and
information systems in the world. FedE |
