“Coordinating a myriad of activities requires real intelligence.” Case Study: A European manufacturer and distributor Situation: A large automatic storage and retrieval warehouse is being fed from a co-located manufacturing plant, a nearby 3PL warehouse and sites all over Europe. Putting outbound shipments together requires careful coordination of case pick inbound shipments production and creation of replenishments from the outside warehouse. The heavily manual effort often creates shortages and incomplete customer shipments. Impact of AutoScheduler: Rather than creating one plan every 24 hours, the plan is revised each time new orders are received or a disruption occurs. The results are incredible. Savings in November were £35,000 -per month. More importantly, “shorting” customers virtually ceased. |
