ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for tracking time sensitive items in a container. A barcode scanned item is placed into a container. The system stores the time of the scan and links the item identification number scanned to the inventory control system. As the time since the item was scanned increases, the system determines whether the item has exceeded a time-based alert threshold. Responsive to exceeding the time-based alert threshold, personnel are alerted to the abandoned container. The system provides data to the personnel to aid in dispositioning the item following abandonment.
