I always wondered if there’s a dedicated team at UPS of just mechanical engineers (for some reason most process optimization professionals have a MechE degree) and mathematicians just figuring out these sort of problems.
- Jemaclus 6y agoI'm sure there are. There's a team at my company (retail, not UPS) whose sole responsibility is figuring out how to optimize getting from Point A to Point B. At least 6 people on the team, probably more involved that I don't realize. At the scale my company and UPS operate in, even minor efficiency gains can add up to gazillions of dollars in savings.
