Enterprise storage is an important part of the material distribution, there is always the joint of each link in the logistics, such as
between production and sales, between the wholesale and retail, purchasing and production between the conversion between different modes of
transport
And so on. Centralized storage areas upstream and downstream process integration of all the contradictions, storage management is to achieve
the integration of logistics processes. Its personnel and equipment configuration, and management efficiency to a large extent affect the
entire supply chain operation
For the cost. If we can not guarantee the right purchase, acceptance, quality assurance and delivery, will lead to a waste of time, resulting
in inventory, delay in delivery, resulting in loss of increased costs for customer service opportunities. Therefore, to improve service
Service levels, reduce inventory, save time, under pressure to minimize costs, storage management is clearly more important.
In practice, storage management and the stability of markets and products, material type, the type and amount of storage equipment,
warehouse the size and number, information management and the choice of the load cell has an important association
. Therefore, the need for effective storage management, you must select the appropriate load cell, full use of warehouse and storage
equipment, minimize operational links and improve the information management system WMS and to ensure a good operating environment
And security and so on. The only way to play very well in the supply chain, warehouse management role.
Effective storage management must consider the following aspects:
1. Effective labor management
Storage of any successful labor the most important factor. However, with economic development, more and more complex procedures manual
handling, labor costs account for a significant portion of inventory cost. Whether the allocation of human resources into better
Is efficient and effective operation of the line storage management one of the important criteria. Labor management technology can help those
who are troubled by storage company employee, auxiliary storage management decision-making the number of employees, and can work
Labor standards and warehouse workers to support system performance assessment. In addition, the company should provide incentives to the
staff team and not individuals, to play a team full potential.
Many warehouse management systems lack the management and performance evaluation in terms of human considerations, or the lack of manual
management of the function interface. If the mere introduction of human resource management, but not a combination of warehousing and
logistics
Has led to a mismatch between their overall information technology. When the force of science and technology for China Materials Storage and
Transportation Corporation, part of the storage management of the enterprise to fully consider the demand for manual management, any day can
be achieved with the required number of employees who
Number, compared the task to work the day after the end of the warehouse can know exactly what each department or each employee's
performance.
2. Warehouse layout design and equipment improvements
As a logistics hub for the whole system processes, warehouse layout is reasonable operating efficiency of the entire database. For
example, the warehouse can be divided into different product categories according to the selection area. In this way, FCL, LCL, the whole
Separate disk operations, to avoid on-site disorder, reduce the damage of goods falling. In addition, improvement of storage facilities is
also reflected in the packaging of goods materials. For a long time, storage companies in pursuit of "zero inventory", has been
Investment in the improvement of storage and warehouse storage environment construction, in order to attract the owner's favor. But the
Treasury can not always keep utilization at 100%, and storage cycle is becoming shorter and shorter. At this time, packaging the investment
cost of goods
For the warehouse to improve efficiency and competitiveness of a consideration.
Advanced packaging not only provide effective protection for the goods to attract cargo owners (especially those who teach hard to save
the cargo), but also to facilitate storage and mechanized operations.
The introduction of radio frequency and automatic data acquisition technology enables the standardization of packaging, cluster
technology, you can give full play to the performance of loading and unloading machinery, thereby enhancing the loading and unloading,
handling, heap stacking efficiency, accelerate the achievement of warehousing operations
Mechanization. On the other hand, the modern automated warehousing receive information not only requires the size of packaging materials,
specifications uniform uniform, but also request information through bar codes and other technical materials embodied in the packaging, which
is precisely
Is the standardization of the packaging materials to achieve the goal. Therefore, improving the packaging materials is conducive to storage
management automation. At present, most of the WMS software includes the RFID technology, automatic data acquisition function.
3. Value-added services and reverse logistics to carry out the implementation
Main income comes from the traditional warehouse storage fee, so I hope the warehouse is always full. Smart storage services provided to
the owner of businesses no longer limited to receiving, storage and transportation, has begun to the owner or retailer
Provide additional value-added services. Some manufacturers want to provide products to multiple markets, retailers hope customers will
receive the goods they need, or special merchandise. A library in the cargo warehouse of the product before
(Goods) for processing, according to the needs of the owner of the product design, composition, packaging and labeling, and then shipped to
different markets. For example, PC-database processing, that is, the original computer parts scattered all
Assembled into a customer needs the PC, and all this without the computer's manufacturer of the goods will be distributed to complete the
library is entirely storage do the job.
Reverse logistics is also showing a more important role, for many not have their own logistics and warehousing system manufacturers or
retailers, warehousing and reverse logistics support centers into one competitive factors, any job
Is the nerve center of the warehouse, the effective management of product recovery storage center, processing, repair and returned to the
customer service has extremely important implications.
When the power of technology in the logistics system in the book industry, not only to achieve recovery of books dealing with WMS, and
the system can display books database processing (such as book repair broken residue) conditions, strongly supports the value-added
Business expansion.
4. The central command center warehouse
Central command center can be a project management organization to guide the completion of inventory of new accounts, report on the
implementation results and the progress of each, while maintaining the external customer contact. Command center should include two parts:
And systems. Warehouse operations is done in the "four walls" within the warehouse, the warehouse management system can be achieved in
addition to included in shipment management, inventory management, order management, selection, review, goods and cargo spaces
Basic information management, replenishment strategies, database mobile combination of such "walls" of the system function, we should also
consider the warehouse management systems and transport management systems, customer management, employee management systems interface. In
the warehouse management
Query management system in real time, and location of products in the supply chain, store locations, and the use of real-time information can
be accurate and reasonable multi-node network in the distribution of goods. This is the WMS as a command center database
Effect. Professional logistics software companies generally provide warehousing, distribution, integrated logistics services to a range of
information is the interface for the entire logistics process and unity. WMS Warehouse in the introduction of the logistics for the future
when you have other environmental
Section of the application of information to stay well on the interface.
Although there has been complete warehouse management system, but people's role in the command center can not be replaced by technology.
Logistics project manager needs a lot of data based on the best allocation of limited resources. Storage
Not automation business, warehousing there are too many uncertainties, the need for outside storage on the role of responsible person
familiar with the role of master control.
