Revolutionize your Warehouse Management with SAP B1 WMS
What if the company keeps on producing the product but does not realize that the demand in the market is fewer? In this scenario, the products get stocked up in the storage and after some time the inventory is bottled up. What next? The manufactured products get wasted and have to be washed out, and the manufacturer has to bear the loss. To prevent this situation in an organization, a Warehouse Management system was brought up. But what is a warehouse? Why do companies need to maintain a warehouse? Let’s get to this in detail.
Any stakeholder of the supply chain can maintain the warehouse, may it be the manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, distributor, or even the customers, in order to store goods. Process of warehouse management: first the raw materials are procured, then manufactured in the units and passed to finished goods, and later distributed to the customers. The warehouse is a storage that is used for raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished goods. There are various strategies on how to choose the material, where the system should search for it and which storage rack should the item be placed on.
Efficient Warehouse Management:
Warehouses can be handled based on the kind of material they have and the operation and requirements they cater to. There can be many different types of warehouses handled by an organization, like raw materials, finished goods, temperature control, etc. Each type of warehouse comes with different requirements but has some commonalities in them. Every warehouse has an entry and exit gate for security purposes, dispatching, and storage locations. Within storage locations, there comes different types of storage like rack storage, floor storage, a combination of rack and floor, and damaged locations. Sorting areas, packaging, and de-packaging are some areas that are included in the warehouse. To ensure the smooth functioning of the processes in different warehouses and avoid the heft caused due to a lot of processes, a Warehouse Management System came into existence. The critical data and operations can be handled with ease with the warehouse management system. When a company has a better and accurate access to its data, it ultimately becomes easy for them to understand their customers and make their experience to the mark.
Warehouse Management System and its Advantages:
A WMS is a software solution that handles and manages all the activities in a warehouse. It provides visibility and controls critical operations like inventory management, location management, receiving and putting away, picking, sorting, packing, loading, invoicing and dispatch, movement and storage of material in the warehouse, and inventory management. One of the major advantages of the WMS is that it eliminates dependency in terms of inventory status in the operational system. It takes care of important functions like location suggestions, allocation policies, and guided operations. In order to optimize operations in a warehouse, a good WMS should be able to handle all the activities.
