Warehouse Management System

3 Steps Mantra to improve turn around time

• Warehouse Management System

2
Integrate, Automate and Report

• To help us understand how we can improve Turn
  Around Times, we need to share a common
  understanding of the key processes in a typical
  Supply Chain Logistics warehouse.  Our view of
  such key processes
• Inbound documentation All inbound documents
  -commercial invoice, packing list, purchase order
  delivery note are validated.  Once validated
  these documents need to be checked into the 
  Warehouse System
• Cargo offload and quality check  Cargo is
  offloaded and checked for quality.
• Carrier booking The cargo is then booked on
  appropriate carriers that meet the pre-defined
  profitability targets.  On completion of carrier
  booking, Load list/plan and inventory documents
  are getting generated from the Warehouse System
• Outbound preparation Once carrier booking is
  completed, outbound team updates the Warehouse
  System with booking information along with
  stuffing date, load date, and carrier details.
• Outbound documentation Then the transfer team
  generates the shipment documents from
  the Warehouse System  for custom clearance and
  documentation.
• Delivery information Once cargo is delivered on
  the destination side, transfer team gets the POD
  date and updates Warehouse System

Why are Turn Around Times high?

• Most warehouses face issues of high Turn Around
  Times due to the following reasons
• Information silos Many processes managed
  manually and related data is maintained in
  MS-Excel based silos.
• Quality of data Different operators tend to
  updated information in different styles.  This
  introduces variability and reduces the quality of
  available data
• Lack of visibility A lot of time is wasted
  finding out information which should be easily
  visible and accessible.

How do you improve Turn Around Times?

• The three step formula that worked for us in a
  Live customer scenario is
• Integrate Design and develop a service layer
  based on ESSPLs EAS framework to integrate the
  multiple information silos
• Automate Validate and cleanse the data received
  through the Service layer to ensure that a high
  quality homogenous data is stored in a
  centralized repository.
• Report  Analyze the data constantly and create
  reports dashboards that broadcast the
  performance of the warehouse to key stakeholder
  including clients and senior management team.
