Not
Just Stock Control
Stock
control systems are primarily designed to improve profitability
by minimising stock holding. However Warehouse Management
goes one step further by managing the storage of the stock
and improving the way in which stock movements take place.
The
SIRONA Warehouse System ensures that you provide the very
best possible service to your customers by making sure that:
- Stock
is available when and where it is needed
- Rotation
is optimised
-
& Despatches are on time
Maximum Warehouse Utilisation
The whole rationale behind its development was to maximise
the utilisation of space in the warehouse and in so doing
increase the effectiveness of all warehouse operations.
These
objectives have been achieved through the introduction of
the following features:
- Warehouse
Mapping
- Stock
Put Away
- Replenishment
from Bulk Storage
-
Tracking Warehouse Movements
- Performance
Intelligence
For
example: The SIRONA Stock Control system holds the dimensions
and weight of the particular stock item. The Warehouse Management
System holds the maximum weight and storage capacity for each
bin location and so can select appropriate put away locations
for every stock item thereby optimising space to stock items.
In
a similar way the system can indicate where stock will be
located to fulfil an order based on a variety of factors over
and above the stock itself, such as age or pack size required.
In this way stock rotation is maintained automatically.
Intelligent Warehousing
The
SIRONA Warehouse Management System provides you with an intelligent
addition to your total business management team. You can now
design the warehouse layout precisely as you wish in the full
knowledge that the computer system will help you to optimise
stock movements and hence minimise costs.
Full
Traceability
The
system has been designed not only to manage the warehouse
operations, but also to enable you to report and audit all
such operations. The way in which the warehouse performs is
obviously crucial to its success and hence is captured by
the system at all the different stages. For example, all stock
movements are logged and can be traced from when they are
first introduced into the warehouse to when they are despatched.
