Warehouse Management System

1. 3 Steps Mantra to improve turn around time Warehouse Management System

2. 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 Systemwith 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 Integrate, Automate and Report

3. 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.    Why are Turn Around Times high?

4. The three step formula that worked for us in a Live customer scenario is : • Integrate: Design and develop a service layer based on ESSPL’s 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. How do you improve Turn Around Times?
