Why WMS is replacing ERP inventory management?

Nowadays, enterprises are paying more and more attention to logistics management. Whether it is in-plant logistics or off-site logistics, especially the control of material storage, the supply chain SCM is used to accelerate inventory turnover. However, traditional ERP inventory management is disappointing, so many companies are gradually using WMS to replace inventory management.

Actual case requirements

1, receipt:

Receiving the goods using barcode (one-dimensional code or two-dimensional code) scanning management, handheld wireless terminal 2 sets, configure a set of bar code printers; material arrival LED display, required related information (goods arrival information, quantity information, quality inspection information).

2, storage:

Forklifts are equipped with display terminals, which visually display the position of the pallets in the warehouse area. The information indicates which tray position to enter, and 3 sets of handheld wireless terminals are configured.

The total area is 20 columns, each column height: 8.5 meters. Put 3 trays per column. Each column is designed with six floors, a total of 260 pallets, and no more than 1 ton after a single pallet has been placed.

Management (each tray address), tray bit bar code management, placement of uncured locations, availability of free space to recommend optimal location.

3, delivery:

Distribution shelves fluent shelves a total of 48 storage areas, each storage area placed four standard turnover box (600X400X280), fluently arranged in three layers; distribution area need to set the address code management, location curing, the whole care Districts and distribution areas have automatic transfer function; distribution area fluent area configuration electronic label; batching area discharge configuration display terminal, can display plan required ingredients information.

Insufficient Inventory Management in ERP

1, receiving goods

There is no way to distinguish between packaged and unpackaged goods, and there is a lack of rules and guidelines for different processes at the time of receipt. For example, which logistics area is recommended and which transportation line to take.

2, on the shelves

Lack of flexible online strategy and rule definitions will not achieve the maximum reduction of delivery distance, improve storage space utilization, and storage optimization.

3 Picking

Lack of flexible picking methods, such as not only pressing a single order or merging orders, but also batch picking, picking by car, picking in bulk, picking by light, etc.

4, inventory

Not only support the list of inventory counts for frozen inventory, but also support RF inventory. Lack of flexible rules-based inventory trigger definition. Lack of support for real-time inventory and cycle count.

5, replenishment

Lack of flexible replenishment triggering mechanisms does not allow real-time analysis of replenishment requirements.

6, delivery

Lack of various rules for picking and issuing materials. The lack of flexible definition of distribution, such as picking up kanbans, regular quantification, timing non-quantitative, quantitative uncertainty, light-based material, process, station beat distribution. Modular Supply, Set Parts Supply, Just In Sequence, and so on.

WMS not only makes up for the lack of ERP inventory, but also has the following advantages

1. Perfect RF function can complete all things.

2, a strong direct transport function.

3. Integrate with TMS, including vehicle transportation, LTL transportation, parcel transportation, and optimization of shortest path, such as route planning, stowage plan, and unloading by area.

4, custom cargo or full inspection program.

5. According to the rules, the pallets of the goods placed in the mix are sorted and put into shelves.

6, advanced batch number, serial number management, through the batch number, serial number distribution, sorting, inventory, distribution, delivery.

7. Based on flexible rule wave plan management, it greatly improves work efficiency. (Wave planning management is a way to improve the efficiency of picking operations. It merges different orders into waves according to a certain standard and guides picking once.)

8. Integrate with personnel management optimization and storage optimization to provide overall optimization.

9, to provide customer-driven storage, out of the value-added services to support the customer's special needs, such as special packaging.

10. It is possible to predefine alternative relationships between goods and define levels. In the event of an out-of-stock, you can automatically find alternatives to improve customer service levels and inventory utilization.

11. It is possible to predict the needs of personnel and staff, and monitor and analyze the situation in real time to avoid overtime and work bottlenecks.

12, can carry out a variety of tracking activities, such as who will complete the traceability work, start and end time. Support more complex personnel management.

13, supports a variety of inventory allocation algorithms, such as first-in-first-out FIFO, first-out first-out FEFO, last-in, first-out LIFO.

14. Including vehicle management, platform management, vehicle reservation schedule management, etc.

15, support smart warehouse intelligent management, automatic loading and unloading, AGV car management and other intelligent storage.
