| Abstract | In this paper the information, which is exchanged among the field workers and the operation center in morning newspaper distribution, is described. This information exchange is made via telephone calls and stationary computers, but is also paper based. This study was conducted to find how this information exchange could be improved with a mobile field system and handheld electronic devices.The results showed that there are technologies available today that can be used for electronic information exchange and that this could improve the safety for the truck drivers and carriers. Moreover, the time for solving problems will increase when the information exchange is improved. However, this electronic information exchange will require new working methods for the personnel involved. |
