1. A warehousing and shipping management system comprising:
a scanner configured to acquire first coded information contained in a recognition code attached to a target object out of a plurality of objects, a recognition code being attached to each of the plurality of objects;
a plurality of fixed radio communication units configured to:
communicate with object-attached radio communication tags respectively attached to each of the plurality of objects and automatically acquire object location information of each of object-attached radio communication tags, and
communicate with an operator's radio communication tag attached to an operator and automatically acquire operator location information of the operator's radio communication tag; and
at least one processor configured to:
specify second coded information corresponding to an object-attached radio communication tag attached to the target object, on the basis of the object location information of the object-attached radio communication tags and the operator location information of the operator's radio communication tag when the first coded information for the target object is acquired by the scanner,
when the first coded information for the target object is acquired by the scanner, associate the first coded information for the target object with the second coded information as association information by performing steps comprising:
(1) comparing the object location information of each of the object-attached radio communication tags acquired by the plurality of fixed radio communication units and the operator location information of the operator's radio communication tag acquired by the plurality of fixed radio communication units,
(2) determining, based on a result of the comparison, an object-attached radio communication tag located nearest to a location of the operator's radio communication tag, and
(3) associating, based on a result of the determination, the second coded information corresponding to the object-attached radio communication tag located nearest to the location of the operator's radio communication tag with the first coded information acquired by the scanner, and

store the association information in a memory.
