The document discusses warehouse management systems (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, particularly focusing on optimizing multi-site management through the SoloChain application. It outlines various WMS stratification levels, from basic store room functions to advanced automated systems, and emphasizes the importance of mobility, real-time decision making, and customizable workflows. Additionally, the document highlights how different WMS models cater to specific warehouse complexities and operational needs.
WMS 101 Models.pdf
- 1. Determine the best approach for your warehouse ERP vs WMS
- 2. Multi-Site Management • Use SOLOCHAIN to manage an infinite number of sites on the same application • Sites can be configured to implement an integrated logistics and manufacturing chain • Every site is defined with its own business rules and attributes • Suppliers and customers can be integrated through an information or transaction portal WMS – Definition WMS Stratification Model What to expect from a Best-of-Breed WMS About Sologlobe
- 3. What is a WMS? WMS suites are software applications that manage the various operations, tasks and activities of moderate to complex warehouse or distribution centers (DCs)
- 4. Objectives of WMS: • Optimization: Advanced algorithms, mobility, real-time information enabling better decision making • Accuracy: Doing things right the first time. Knowing what you have and where • Optimization of space: Volumetry because space = $$$ • Compliance: Regulations, Customers
- 6. Some variations - Pure distribution - Pure distribution with value added services - Manufacturing - Inbound warehouse - Outbound warehouse
- 7. Manufacturing Execution System (MES) • Connecting the warehouse with the shop floor • WIP tracking • End-to-end traceability
- 8. Not all warehouses are the same Not all Warehouse Management Systems are the same
- 9. ASSEMBLY* Many ways to go from point A to point B
- 12. WMS Stratification Model Level1 – Store Room Level 2 – Rudimentary Locator Level 3 – Advanced Locator Level 4 – Intelligent Level 5 - Automated
- 13. ASSEMBLY*
- 14. Level 1 – Store Room - Bin tracking - Perpetual Inventory - Receiving, Picking and shipping - Single storage location, storage predefined and typically fixed - Paper based - Appropriate stock rooms, retail stores
- 15. Level 2 – Rudimentary Locator - Multi-location inventory tracking - Receiving, put-away, limited picking options, shipping - Limited work verification - Often paper-based - Appropriate for minimally complex facilities
- 16. Level 3 – Advanced Locator - More sophisticated features focusing on improving physical warehouse processes - More options, increased flexibility (more “out-of-the-box” options) - Provide customization through rules definition (not coding) - Support RF devices for work issuance and verification but still use paper - Additional features: cross-docking, multiple pick and put-away methodologies, palette/case license plating, packing)
- 17. Level 4 – Intelligent - Focus on people–driven processes - Focus change from just improving physical work processes to value-added capabilities and managerial support - Task management. Advanced put-away rules - Advanced replenishment - Advanced picking - Task management, dock & yard, slotting - Operations are typically more complex and sophisticated with higher work volume - Requirements for improved performance and throughput while adding more decision- support capabilities
- 18. Level 5 – Automated - Emphasis shift to automation - Built around automation - Specialized systems combined (WCS) with tier 1 WMS - Design driven by engineering firms
- 20. ERP (WMS) WMS
- 21. WMS Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Store Room Rudimentary Location Advanced Locator Added Intelligence Automated Personnel 1-5 3-10 10 - 30 40 + N/A Square Feet (1000) 1 - 5 5-25 25 - 150 150 + N/A SKU Less 500 500-2000 2000 + 2000+ N/A # Line Orders up to 100 100-500 1000 + 5000 + 5000 + WMS Stratification Model – Some numbers
- 22. What to expect from a Best-of–Breed WMS
- 24. Leveraging Mobile Configurable Workflow for Maximum Optimization
- 27. Real time & more Information = better decisions Manage Better
- 29. Mobile Productivity: Voice and Scan A Hybrid approach
- 30. Multi Usage Platform Integrating multi-functions using one device and embedded in the SOLOCHAIN processes. For example, when performing a receiving task you can take a picture of damaged material, indicate a damage code, and the information is linked in real time to the receiving task - linked to the Purchase Order - then linked to the suppliers
- 31. Mobility for Real Time Information
- 32. Advanced Receiving Multi Receivers Mode Multi POs Receiving Zone Consolidation Embedded QA Process Automatic Cross Dock
- 33. Advanced Put- away Optimization Advanced Replenishment Space Optimization SKU Consolidation Two steps Put away Min Max Preemptive Replenishment Zones Sequencing Interleaving Tasks Real Time Coverage Reporting
- 34. Advanced Pick & Pack Zone Picking Multi Orders picking Pick to Box with optimized Volumetry Single line Fast path Shippable Advanced Consolidation
- 35. Advanced Shipping Real Time Dock Management Load Consolidation Load Planning and Sequencing Electronic Transport Documentation Real Time Loading Validation
- 36. ASSEMBLY* All Web Services transactions are monitored via the SOLOCHAIN import and export hub. The hub is embedded in the SOLOCHAIN solution
