INVENTORY & MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
ENSURE GOODS AND MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN AND WHERE THEY'RE NEEDED
Having the right materials available when and where they’re needed keeps your production processes moving from the moment you receive raw materials until you ship the end product to your customers. Using real-time data you can optimize the material management in your plants and warehouses, reducing waste and downtime across your entire operation.
SITUATION
There is a constant and critical need to move materials into, within, and out of your warehouses, distribution centers, and your plants themselves. Doing this efficiently is critical to the success and profitability of your business. Raw materials need to be replenished just-in-time without halting production, work in process needs to be tracked closely, and inventory levels need to be optimized for raw materials, finished goods, and even the spare pools utilized by your manufacturing equipment itself. Operating at anything less than peak efficiency will result in longer cycle times and higher cost of goods sold, and can ultimately impact your ability to compete
SOLUTION
Inventory & Materials Management solutions provide real-time inventory visibility by quickly and accurately capturing data using mobile computers, advanced barcode scanners, and RFID readers. Electronic picking orders are sent instantly to the mobile device so workers can respond quickly to changes in production demands. Errors and bottlenecks are reduced by ensuring materials are stored in the right location and the right products are picked to replenish raw materials on the plant floor or to fulfill customer orders. Enhanced visibility and real-time processes enable you to increase inventory turns, lower operating costs and enhance customer satisfaction.
