Abstract: About three years ago I walked into my Vice- Presidents office and said, Tom, I think we need to implement Bar Coding Technology in our storerooms. Tom, being a thirty-year veteran who has resisted all efforts to install a PC in his office and who two years earlier authorized 500,000 toward a new Materials Management System, turned to me and said, What did you say? This time I cautiously said, Tom, dont you want to improve the storekeepers productivity with bar coding? This time Tom responded by saying, I thought bar coding was only for supermarkets. Well, Toms opinion is shared by many people who believe that bar code technology is just for the retail industry. This perception is far from the truth. Since the early 1980s, many industries have documented amazing productivity improvement through bar coding. In fact, if any vendor plans to supply materials to the Big Three auto makers or Department of Defense, they must afix bar code labels to their products.
