Warehouse operations are an important part of any organization working in the supply chain. Inventory visibility, movement of materials, storage usage, and manpower are all common issues that directly affect operational efficiency and accuracy. Typically, businesses choose inventory management or warehouse management software, which helps in the systematic planning and execution of orders.
The typical warehouse method is to rely on people for most operations. Despite having a competent WMS (inventory management system), the warehouse worker makes mistakes because it carries out all the processes on paper. This information is then updated in the Warehouse Inventory Management Information System.
Even if you have a strong warehouse planning and management system, if it is implemented manually, no system can ever fail. There are likely to be errors in each area, which may be due to a lack of information or other operational difficulties.
Inventory Movement: When moving inventory in the warehouse, the user may make the mistake of placing an item in a place that is not for that item. This affects not only the stock of items but also the bin capacity of other items, which can lead to additional binning errors.
Making the wrong choice: This is the most common mistake when dealing with similar-looking objects. In the manual system, the user records the exact picking on paper, which is then entered into the system, but in reality, he selects a different item. In addition to returning the goods from the customer, this creates problems in the list of two items.
Inventory Accuracy: The level of accuracy in a manual system is always determined by the number of inefficient workers on the floor. The incorrect calculation, incorrect number of items, or omission of an item from a person's calculation all contribute to inaccuracies in the list. Improper inventory always leads to overstocking or unavailability of goods leads to the cancellation of orders.
User Training: User training is one of the most difficult issues in manual warehouse operations. While old employees "remember" warehouse locations, new employees take time to learn them. When there is no bin identification and people choose items based on "experience", the problem in an unorganized warehouse becomes more serious.
The Warehouse Management System (WMS) is designed for mobility from the ground up, allowing warehouse workers to perform their tasks seamlessly. The distributed architecture of the solution provides excellent performance and also allows for more flexibility. Direct data collection on the floor of the warehouse, inventory level, storage usage, and provides accurate visibility to motivated workers who do not have to worry about the accuracy of the item. Instead of spending time on paper to ensure the accuracy of the operation, the employee should now focus only on handling the material and moving it to the desired location.
