- Storage management control WMS into third party logistics storage
Competition is essentially a comparison of job efficiency and cost control
In the past, people recorded the statistics by entering the storage software management warehouse. With the continuous development of the market, the business mode of enterprises is more complex. The corresponding operation efficiency and cost control put forward higher level requirements for management.
Warehouse operators need to correctly grasp the operation process, ensure the correct goods to the right place at the right time; warehouse management requires real-time understanding of the production conditions, reasonably allocate tasks to the operating personnel; enterprise managers want to know all the warehouse operations and processing capabilities, to meet customer business needs in a timely manner.
So, WMS came into being.
Next, let's get to know how WMS manages the process in the warehouse:
DATA Governance
In order to manage the warehouse operation process, WMS system needs to control all kinds of data in warehouse, including basic data, warehouse resource information and so on. The system can display the information of sub warehouses, operation areas, storehouses, parking lots, operators, goods, equipment and so on through GIS way, combined with VR and 3D rendering.
Users can query all the goods, operators and other resources status and related information at any time and anywher through computers, handheld devices, Pad and other electronic devices. Its advantages are particularly evident in enterprises requiring remote management of multiple large warehouses.
The information of order and waybill can be imported through OMS (order management system), EDI interface, manual entry and so on. Analyzing these information, the system can help warehouse managers understand the known and predictable quantity of goods coming out and warehousing, and analyze the existing products in real time. In the case of explosion occurred before, to make early warning, to avoid unnecessary losses.
Work allocation control
A warehouse handles a large number of tasks every day, and the WMS system needs to be able to allocate these tasks scientifically and reasonably to each operator. In addition to arrange the tasks according to the task in order of arrival order system also needs the support set and sorted according to the important and urgency task, so as to ensure the tasks in an orderly manner, to enhance the flexibility of task, improve the timeliness of the task.
At the same time, when assigning tasks, the system also needs to be able to give the best scheme according to the given rules and algorithms. For example, we can sort automatically according to the busy degree of personnel, so that warehouse managers can assign tasks according to the amount of tasks people have undertaken, avoiding the inefficient operation of tasks.
Operation control
The business process of warehouse, especially the third party logistics (3PL) warehousing business is very complex. In the process of operation, operators need to master the operation rules and judge and perform tasks by themselves. There is a big fluctuation in the volume of the warehouse business. Often busy operators need temporary operators. They lack training, and the frequency of errors is high, which will reduce the operation efficiency of warehouses.
WMS system with operation process control can insert SOP (standard work instruction) into software, and guide every storehouse staff's specific operation actions through mobile phone screen prompting and voice guidance. According to the best practices of the industry, the system can make clear guidance in the aspects of collection and collection, proposal for shelves, picking strategy, shipment specification, inventory check and so on.
Working process record
In the process of warehouse operation, it is not enough to assign only the task to the operator. To ensure that each operator is able to complete the operation according to the regulations, it must be carried out on the operating process of the operator. It is necessary for the system to automatically collect the information of the nodes of each work link, and display it in the eyes of the manager with the form of a large screen. It can effectively monitor and manage the whole process of management, feedback the abnormal situation in the operation link in time, and avoid the problem of one link to affect the operation of the whole system.
The system log records the key time information, the personnel information, the task content and the state of each task. Avoid the personnel after the problem, mutual shirking responsibility. The manager can inquire and obtain evidence for the task and goods that have a problem through the system.
