A Simple Barcoding System Has Changed Inventory Management Forever

If I were the current CEO for the United States Postal Service, I would be gravely concerned about the future of my business, as it has recently taken a steep plummet from its success and popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The USPS is now faced with the decision to renovate itself due to the extreme loss of business as technology takes over the 21st Century. Some say that the USPS should be entirely reconstructed because the business is only headed further downhill, while others say that paper mail is still very practical, more so than e-mail, and we must each write more letters to do our part in reviving the business to profitability again. Because the USPS has been such a vital part of our country through

According to a Case Study-United States Postal Service (Jan 06, 2010), retrieved from: http://www.slideshare.net/bakeursilly/usps; since 1175 when Benjamin Franklin was appointed as the first postmaster general of the United States, the agency known as the United States Postal Service (USPS) has grown to become an institution that delivers about half of the world’s mail in snow, rain, and the dark of the night. Employing about 656,000 workers and 218,684 vehicles, 36,496 total retail and delivery facilities nationwide, 599 processing facilities, 584 million pieces is the average volume per day, and a total work hour of 1,258,025 per year delivering over 200 billion items per year via air and highway.

For over two centuries, people relied on the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way to receive their letter and packages from people around the country. It is their only way where a person can obtain a parcel when there are no technologies to assist them. Nowadays, in the modern world, there are different kinds of ways where one can receive a package or a letter, from an email or other companies. This results in the USPS decreasing its values. In order for the USPS to keep up with the fast-paced society, it should consider changing their ways of working.

The Post Office Department known as the United States Postal Services (USPS) (Annual Report, 2009) today, is a dominate player in the mail delivery arena and has been existence since 1776. The Post Office was originally a governmental agency, but due to mismanagement by Congress, was reorganized in 1971 and no longer a part of the presidential cabinet; but became an independent establishment of the executive branch of the Government. To date, the USPS maintains a monopoly on the day-to-day delivery of mail but competitors do share the market on some of the other types of deliveries; shares the market on some of the other types of deliveries (i.e. express

The United States Postal Service has existed for more than two centuries. As the people have grown into the new world of digital technology and electronic communication, the USPS continues to become more of a disservice to the American people. The USPS has still used the same rules and principles for more than two centuries, which does not intrigue any more customers. The USPS needs to be reconstructed in order to fit the needs of a changing world. As the world grows and develops into higher levels of thinking and technological advances, the USPS should grow with them, changing to become more useful to American people.

"The United States Postal Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association are time honored institutions that provide a “post office on wheels” to the American public on a day‐to‐day basis. With the first rural delivery established in 1896, a century of evolution has changed the rural carrier position to what it is today. (NRLCA)

The goal of The United States Postal Service is to create “a free flow of information between citizens and their government as a cornerstone of freedom, often spoke of a nation bound together by a system of postal roads and post offices.” (Longley 2013) Postal offices are forbidden to open any letters unless it is undeliverable The United States Postal Service (USPS) is responsible for providing postal services for the United States to all Americans no matter the geographical location. The United States Postal Service is an independent agency of the United States federal government that was

A governmental postal service existed before the states even ratified unity. Being used to inform and connect people across the country, the Postal Service reigned the supreme medium to communicate. Evolving from newspapers during the Revolutionary War and progressing through the Pony Express, the United States Postal Service held uncontended success for generations. But because of a severe money deficit in the recent decade, taxpayers demand the USPS to take action to increase profits, whether it happen from a positive spike in mail volume or a decrease in employees. The USPS should reduce their overall workers and increase the demand for specialized workers.

As young adults, teenagers are used to being the bud of the joke when it comes to technology and how soft it has made the younger generations. Almost everyone has heard the classic line, “Back in my day, we had to actually write letters when we wanted to talk to someone far away.” In an ever changing world, most children have never written a letter to a friend or family member thanks to the internet, and they probably never will. While such a fact has become accepted, it’s a harder pill to swallow for the USPS since the organization’s revenue is dependent on mail. In order to make money in a world where there is a rising dependence on technology, the USPS will have to start restructuring their business, and there are many ways to do just that.

The USPS has not implemented many aspects of change and they have not dealt with the technological change well. Ever since Email and text messages became the man way to communicate and send information, the USPS took a major hit with profits. Instead of having this work against them the government needed to makes changes within their own systems. Certain companies have contacts with UPS and FedEx when it comes to shipping. The USPS is not allowed to enter into any type of contract which is why, when the internet and online shopping became big these companies jumped on it. The USPS just stayed back and didn’t try to implement any changes. They need to research how they could incorporate technology into their business structure and make needed

The inner workings of the post office enabled the postal service to have a wider communication system. Strangers were allowed to communicate with each other easily by going to the post office in their small towns and urban cities, able to contact the outside world. Going to the post office was something that only men had done when the postal system had been an integral and fast system of communication for the first time in American history. It also was a place of secrecy where unexpected encounters might have occurred. It lead the public to fear over their privacy. Women were more prominent to be uncomfortable by the masculinity that dominated the post office which meant the women had a difficult time sending letters to a loved

The United States Postal Service (“USPS”) continues to endure the negative effects of electronic diversion combined with a weak economy and increased funding obligations

The United States Postal Office (USPS) was cherished throughout society in the past because it provided jobs and mail delivery. Handwritten letters and cards that were sent to loved ones across the country hold meaning to individuals. People expressed their feelings through the letters. With the introduction of e-mails, there is subsequently a lack of physical connection. Due to the innovative future, the sentimental values of letters are slowly deteriorating. Along with e-mails, the Internet generated competitor companies that have a similar purpose as the USPS. Companies such as FedEx and UPS are a cheap, fast, and reliable alternatives. New competitors pressure the USPS to advance their technology in order to keep up with the new world. In the past, the USPS changed in order to meet requirements to compete with others. If they wish to uphold a purpose in the advancing technological future, the USPS should

During today’s growing culture and different developments around technology, society has shied away from old school traditions. One of those traditions being, sending mail through the United States Postal Service which was once known as an efficient and reliable source of communication. Having the option of sending mail of all volume through different sources, electronically and by other companies, has put the USPS at risk of not succeeding in the future with the possibility going out of business. If the USPS wishes to continue their mailing services they must adapt to society in order meet the needs of a changing world. The idea of a technological world is on the rise simply because of the easy accessibility and the quickness of the internet.
