For auto parts companies, there are common pain points in the daily receiving, shelf storage, return, material preparation, picking and delivery, inventory and inventory, etc., which not only increase the difficulty of warehouse management, but also increase the cost of the enterprise and affect the service to customers Experience, mainly reflected in:
1. More and more varieties are difficult to manage
There are more and more types of auto parts, the quantity is large, and most auto parts do not have barcodes, it is difficult to manage, and often mistakes are admitted and found.
2. Storage location planning is difficult and warehouse utilization rate is low
The location planning is difficult, so that it can’t find a suitable location on the daily shelves, so it can be placed in a corner at will. Over time, it is not only difficult to find the goods, but also the utilization rate of the warehouse is still low.
3. Large outbound workload and error-prone
The daily outbound workload is large. Under the manual operation mode, it is not only difficult to find the goods and easy to recognize mistakes, but also can be out of the warehouse on a first-in, first-out basis.
4. Difficulty in inventory, and inaccurate inventory
The manual inventory method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and manual inventory is also required to be sorted and updated, which makes it difficult to achieve consistent inventory accounting.
5. Difficulty in tracing
The product has quality problems, and it is difficult to trace back which supplier and which batch of materials caused the problem.
6. Low data value
Managers can't get all the data in the warehouse, and there is no way to make decisions.
After the application of the wms warehousing system, the existing warehouse management model can be changed significantly, mainly as follows:
1. Product barcode management
Using barcode technology, implement a barcode number for each product, solve the problem of no barcode, multiple codes for one object, and convenient management.
2. Standardize the location and product placement
Plan each warehouse/warehouse area/location and paste a bar code as an identification. At the same time, when the product is put on the shelf, the system instructs the appropriate shelf storage position, which avoids the phenomenon of random placement and accumulation of employees, improves the utilization rate of the warehouse, and facilitates finding the goods.
3. Standardize the storage and exit process
Optimize the flow of materials in and out of the warehouse, reduce unnecessary business links, such as blindly finding goods manually, manually collecting data, etc., and avoid errors, such as receiving wrong goods, wrong goods, and multiple shipments, and improve the accuracy of operations.
4. Traceability management
Each product has a unique barcode number, and the materials and transfers in the production process are related through the system documents. When a product has quality problems, the product can be traced according to the serial number of a single piece, including the traceability of raw materials, the destination of finished products, and the traceability of the production process to ensure product quality.
5. Easy inventory
In the inventory link, the system supports three inventory methods: warehouse inventory, personnel inventory, and product inventory, from no inventory to inventory, and inventory inventory to no inventory.
In the inventory process, PDA scanning is used throughout the entire process to collect inventory data in real time and enter the actual inventory quantity. After the inventory is completed, the inventory report is generated in real time.
When the detailed inventory report is verified, it can be converted to the current inventory data, so that the actual account is consistent.
6. Real-time data presentation
The system automatically integrates the data of each link of the warehouse and forms related data reports, and these data reports are automatically updated every day to ensure real-time and accurate data and provide more data support for corporate decision-making.
Through the application of the wms system, auto parts companies can achieve standardization of warehouse data, standardization of material requirements, standardization of operating procedures, traceability of product quality, and lean inventory management to enhance their competitiveness.
