How to improve the accuracy of electronic business warehouse inventory problem?

   Traditional warehousing to ensure the production of static storage through continuous demand, the rapid development of electric power for the industry chain, the rapid mobility of the more urgent needs. Compared with other TV shopping, traditional retail and production enterprises, e-commerce storage center is characterized by fast inventory turnover, high efficiency requirements of the import and export, category rich (SKU large), the difference between large commodity specifications, delivery orders sku Few. In view of this situation, the high standard of inventory accuracy becomes an inevitable requirement for guaranteeing business.

      Today with you from a number of impact inventory accuracy of the latitude and the point to go one by one analysis, there will be shallow situation, hope readers Haihan.

      Definition: Inventory Accuracy - The ratio of the number of items in stock to the number of items in inventory. Is a key indicator of the assessment of the level of warehouse management. Basis PCS algorithm, the actual number of commodity inventory / book the number of goods. The amount of algorithm for the corresponding value of the amount of the ratio of products in the purchase price, cost price, sales price for the value of the time, its requirements will be higher and higher.

      Latitude related to inventory accuracy:

      First, the basic framework of the impact

      1, organizational structure impact:

      Organizational structure set unreasonable, will make the internal responsibilities of warehousing and division of labor is not clear. Which led to changes in the structure of personnel on the inventory quality control responsibility. Common cases, if the level of the two managers to manage the level of contact will occur in different positions of the team, such as sorting and shelves, often occur in the discussion of the responsibility of the accuracy of inventory, buck-passing phenomenon occurs.

      2, personnel impact:

      Here mainly refers to the character of their own staff have a serious, responsible, careful characteristics. Even the best management system, technical equipment by the irresponsible people to operate are unable to achieve the desired set goals.

      3, management objectives Impact:

      Assessment of what to get, the warehouse must be responsible for inventory accuracy indicators have enough degree of emphasis and sensitivity. This point must be used as an assessment indicator tied to management's remuneration.

      4, the impact of corporate culture:

      Corporate culture advocacy direction, we must emphasize the team, responsibility, service and other aspects of the content, so that team members through the corporate culture of the guide, and gradually to the manager asked the behavior characteristics of improvement. 

Second, the process design impact
 
      1, third-party supervision
 
     Warehousing the highest responsible person can not be too much confidence in the results given directly under the subordinates. The naked eye can be found in the intuitive problem by the managers themselves to supervision and inspection. For a large number of hidden data must require the company to arrange third-party departments to monitor, while the existence of their own as an auxiliary supervision.
 
      2, downstream supervision upstream
 
      Often an enterprise is based on business processes in the functional integrity of the sector division. Upstream supervision through the downstream, the overall department head for the overall control to be enhanced.
 
     Third, the technical impact
 
     1, the impact of information systems:
 
     E-commerce company storage chain for the information system is extremely serious dependence, if there is no supporting function WMS complete warehousing business process guidance, and rely solely on personnel, the inventory accuracy of the impact of this indicator is enormous. Straightforward is unable to control! Among the key functions are: bar code applications, PDA applications, inventory management system, personnel information system.
 
      2, the impact of related equipment:
 
     The device here includes equipment that directly improves the accuracy of the quantity, and also includes equipment for supporting the system. For example, in the storage section, bar code identification, RFID identification and other equipment to carry out warehousing category distinction and the number of control; in the sorting or inventory of links, to pick up the goods to check the system to //confirm/i/i.
 
     Fourth, the impact of goods
 
      1, similarity: in the storage, shelves, inventory, sorting, tally and other aspects of the goods will occur to check the link. Check points are divided into: commodity name (Chinese characters, letters, product code), the appearance of goods (patterns, shapes, colors, sizes).
 
     2, the complexity: for the case involving the assembly of goods, pay attention to prevent assembly / accessories missing omissions, matching errors and so on. The higher the complexity, the greater the problem between them, there is often accessories
 
     3, too small: such as brooches, trinkets, accessories and other items in the inventory, custody and out of the library when the difficulty will increase.
 
    Fifth, the impact of space design
 
     1, for a number of products, a number of one product, one for a product
 
    The so-called "bit" refers to the location, the so-called "goods" refers to the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit stock units). Three ways each have their own advantages and disadvantages, a way for a product, the cargo space and SKU corresponding relationship is very clear, the price is the storage capacity utilization or storage area per unit of decline. A number of a product, the increase in the amount of storage per unit area, the cost is the decline in sorting efficiency and inventory accuracy of the indirect decline. The situation of a product more than occurred in two cases: a, a single SKU number of goods is too large a place (or tray) can not fit; b, random shelves mode used by-products.
 
     2, sorting methods and supporting the allocation of ways
 
     The general case of a small quantity will use the "picking method" sorting, that is, one by one order-by-sort method. Single large amount of cases will use the "sowing method" sorting, in the form of bulk orders after sorting and then sorting the distinction between individual orders and the corresponding kind. In theory, the complexity of the seeding operation can lead to higher error rates than the picking method. However, it is possible to further improve the sorting efficiency if the auxiliary wall is allocated, the information system (wave sorting, distribution operation, etc.) is assisted, or the error rate can be effectively controlled.

     3, whether to place adjacent goods similar goods
 
     As the sorting, shelf links are people to operate, in the sorting and shelves in the process prone to misread the goods of the adjacent cargo space and sorting and shelves wrong situation. However, this does not affect the product line in accordance with the regional product line management ideas, if the information system does not support the case, the line to do manual allocation of such management for human consumption can not be ignored.
 
     Six, management impact
 
      1, theft: bear the brunt of the warehouse management to mention this can not be avoided. For the theft of the situation is not to be controlled, there will be significant, difficult to make up for the consequences. For the theft of the solution, divided into three areas to prevent solution. First of all, said soft measures, for a theft has not yet found a new team, mainly from the publicity side, focusing on publicity. Through cultural walls, conferences, training and other channels, inform employees of the high cost of illegal. Should find a specific case, and chasing back to the parties, can be combined with public security to focus on education and propaganda work. Rigid measures, equipped with security personnel, equipped with scanning equipment, metal detectors. By means of equipment to prevent high-value metal-rich 3C goods and accessories were entrained out of the reservoir area. Good security personnel can observe the expression of each other will be used to steal some non-stolen out. System support, the company personnel departments must first issue a matching management system, and allow staff to sign. So that after the theft, you can have "law" to follow, to avoid unnecessary personnel disputes.
 
      2, falling: goods stored in the process due to improper storage, there will be goods falling to the bottom of the shelves, boxes and other easily overlooked areas. On the one hand rely on the solution to improve inventory staff's sense of responsibility, on the other hand can also be used by the location of the box, abnormal box, tally, inventory before the corner clean-up and other ways to avoid.
 
     Improvements
 
      1, tally: tally for improving inventory accuracy has a positive sense of prevention. The so-called tally, that is, in the daily management process, the goods in the library to clean up the work, which contains the placement of goods, goods adjacent to the distinction between goods, the abnormal cleaning of several aspects. If a clear tally method to determine the tally cycle, arrange regular human tally, you can greatly reduce the workload of the inventory.
 
      2, inventory: In essence, inventory behavior can not solve the problem of inventory accuracy, a good inventory method and process control can effectively improve the accuracy of inventory, that is, the effectiveness of inventory problems.
 
     Inventory cycle is generally divided into Japanese disk, weekly disk, disk, quarter disk, the annual disk. As the Japanese plate, often not the whole, are generally touched for the day to touch the goods inventory. The annual inventory is often a summary of the work of the annual storage work on inventory management. Specific inventory cycle and the type of library, the company's current inventory accuracy, the company's financial needs to determine several aspects of comprehensive.
 
     Inventory method: The best inventory method is the use of PDA devices for goods in the inventory by the sweep code. Through the information equipment to drive the work of checking the goods than to use the naked eye to determine the accuracy and credibility will be greatly improved. The primary method of inventory is the use of paper inventory table, in the absence of commodity bar code assistance, the goods through the naked eye discrimination points work. The specific company in what stage the use of inventory methods, depending on the company's information technology, the scale of development, management awareness and other aspects.
 
      Inventory process: a good inventory process, regardless of the technical aspects of the case. Basically in the following order is more appropriate. Inventory (inventory, the responsibility to determine and division of labor, inventory preparation tools, administrative arrangements, time to determine, inventory training) → inventory (mobilization, division of labor once again clear allocation of clean-up, to ensure data static, inventory start) (Data collection, data comparison, reason analysis, inventory summary, according to the company reported loss reported overflow process approval data, the number of background inventory clean-up)
 
      3, performance: Should the impact of inventory accuracy of the negligent point of the parties and their managers pay no impact, it is difficult to control the accuracy of inventory continued to improve. Performance tools to use well, can play a less effective results, you can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the staff.
 
      4, abnormal: exception handling in a small warehouse when the role is not obvious, after all, a small denominator. However, when the scale of operation, the handling of abnormal timing is very important. FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) FAQs, exception handling follow-up tables, and exception-handling systems.

     5, review: taking into account if it is a person to operate, then there will be a general error rate, so the need for review is reflected. In the case of incomplete information systems, there may even be a double review of the situation. The cost is the multiplication of manpower, more emphasis on more emphasis on "quality and customer satisfaction" or "cost" is based on the specific stage of the company wher the choice.
 
      6, receiving: Most of the electricity business enterprises warehousing plate is a basic part of the receiving section. Some companies will be named IQC (storage quality control), the basic content is responsible for the number of inventory storage and quality checks. In this link needs to be emphasized is: a reasonable proportion of test to determine. If applied in the apparel product line AQL (ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL acceptance standards) industry sampling level of the case, or can operate. But for some, such as adult products, small appliances and other product lines are not so easy to use. The key is to be based on the size and focus of their own companies, as well as user characteristics, etc., to develop a set of standards in line with their own companies. only in this way can effectively control the balance of labor costs and quality control.
 
      7, the shelves: inventory clear inventory, if the shelves out of the wrong, it can really be a low-level error. But this low-level error does occur in our daily management process. For the shelves of the accuracy of the goods, the number of shelves on the accuracy of control, we need to control the important management aspects.
 
      8, the library: the last one out of the library, meaning up to "rotten meat in the pot"
 
     Weighing: In addition to the information provided to the third-party logistics information for billing, but also through the weight of information matching the accuracy of the goods out of the library (with the goods in the library information and system support can be).
