First plan

First plan

Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos in July 1994,

who chose Seattle for its abundance of technical

talent, as Microsoft was in the area. Mackenzie

Scott was also instrumental in its founding, and

drove across the country with Bezos to start it.

When Scott graduated, she applied to work for D. E.

Shaw & Co., a quantitative hedge fund in New York

City, as a research associate to "pay the bills while

working on her novels". Bezos, then a vice-president

at the firm, met her when he interviewed her.

Amazon first launched its distribution

network in 1997 with two fulfillment centers

in Seattle and New Castle, Delaware. Amazon

has several types of distribution facilities

consisting of cross-dock centers, fulfillment

centers, sortation centers, delivery stations,

Prime now hubs, and Prime air hubs. There

are 75 fulfillment centers and 25 sortation

centers with over 125,000 employees.

Employees are responsible for five basic

tasks: unpacking and inspecting incoming

goods; placing goods in storage and

recording their location; picking goods from

their computer recorded locations to make

up an individual shipment; sorting and

packing orders; and shipping.

In September 2006 Amazon launched a

program called FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon)

whereby it could handle storage, packing and

distribution of products and services for

small sellers..
