You are so predictable my friend

I was just finishing up on how you like to make $hit up and here you go with yet another installment!

Around 1975 or 1976 I had to find a course for visiting engineers from the Taiwan Power Company who wanted to learn computerized inventory control (no bar codes yet in those days.)

The real story is that the first bar coding system was installed in 1969 by Computer Identics. Crude, but effective. The first retail use was by Marsh Grocery in Troy, MI back in 1974. The Smithsonian has the pack of Wrigley's gum that was the scanned first.

Selection of the right people is far more crucial to business success than selection of the right system...

Sometimes, sometimes not. One of the benefits of WMS systems is that the accuracy and efficiency do NOT rely upon the expertise of the workers. Training can be accomplished in hours, not days or weeks when you have to possess product knowledge to work effectively. Would you rather rely upon the lady at the grocery checkout to key in the prices for everything? Not I!
