What is effective warehouse management!
2021-03-19 11:15
Warehousing is an important part of enterprise material distribution, which appears in the combination of all aspects of logistics. Warehousing links focus on all the contradictions of the integration of upstream and downstream processes, and warehouse management is actually the integration of logistics processes.
Personnel and equipment configuration and management efficiency greatly affect the operation cost of the whole supply chain. If the correct purchase, acceptance, quality assurance and delivery cannot be guaranteed, time will be wasted, inventory will be generated, delivery will be delayed, and cost will be increased.
Under the pressure of improving service level, reducing inventory, saving time and minimizing cost, warehouse management is becoming more and more important. In actual operation, warehouse management and the stability of the market and products, the type of materials, the type and quantity of storage equipment, the size and quantity of the warehouse, the level of information management and the choice of unit load have an important relationship.
To carry out effective warehouse management, we must choose the appropriate load unit, make full use of the warehouse and storage equipment, minimize the operation link, improve the information management system WMS and ensure a good operating environment and safety and so on.

Workforce Management
Effective manual management of the workforce is the most important factor for any successful warehousing. The procedures for manual processing are becoming more and more complex, and labor costs account for a large part of inventory costs. Whether it is able to allocate human resources for effective operation is one of the important criteria for efficient warehouse management.
Companies should provide incentives to teams of employees rather than individuals to maximize the team's potential. There are many warehouse management system in the lack of artificial management and performance appraisal considerations, or the lack of artificial management of this function of convergence. If the simple introduction of human resources management, and not the combination of logistics and warehousing and lead to the overall information of the enterprise out of touch.

Layout and improvement
The improvement of warehouse layout design and equipment as the hub of the whole system of logistics process, whether the design layout of the warehouse is reasonable affects the efficiency of the whole warehouse operation. For example, the warehouse can be divided into different picking areas according to product categories. In this way, the whole box, unpacking, the whole plate separate operation, can avoid the scene messy, reduce the goods fall damage.
In addition, the improvement of warehouse equipment is also reflected in the packaging of goods and materials. For a long time, in order to pursue "zero inventory", warehousing has been investing in the improvement of warehouse storage environment and warehouse construction, but the warehouse utilization rate can not always be maintained at 100, and the storage cycle is getting shorter and shorter. Advanced packaging can not only provide effective protection for the goods, but also provide convenience for storage mechanization operations. The introduction of radio frequency and data automatic acquisition technology to standardize the packaging, cluster, can give full play to the efficiency of loading and unloading machinery, so as to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading, handling, stacking and palletizing, and accelerate the mechanization of warehousing operations.
On the other hand, the automatic sending and receiving of modern warehousing information not only requires the uniform size and specifications of material packaging, but also requires the material information to be reflected in the packaging through bar code and other technologies, which is precisely the goal of material packaging standardization. Therefore, improving material packaging is conducive to warehouse management automation.

Establishment of command center
The central command center in the warehouse can be a project management organization that guides the completion of new inventory accounts, reports on the results of implementation and the progress of each part, and maintains external customer contact. The command center should consist of two parts: people and systems.
The operation in the warehouse is completed in the warehouse with "four walls". The warehouse management system can realize the system functions of "inside the wall" including incoming and outgoing goods management, inventory management, order management, picking, review, basic information management of goods and goods location, replenishment strategy, moving combination in the warehouse, etc, also consider the interface between the warehouse management system and the transportation management system, customer management, and employee management systems.
Under the warehouse management system, the storage location of the product and the storage location in the supply chain can be queried in real time, and the use of real-time information can accurately and reasonably distribute the goods in the multi-node network. This is the warehouse information management as the role of the warehouse command center. Professional logistics information management system generally provides warehousing, distribution, integrated logistics a series of information services, is to the whole logistics process of convergence and unity.
Although there is a perfect warehouse management system, but the role of people in the command center can not be replaced by technology. Logistics project leaders need to optimally allocate limited resources on the basis of large amounts of data. Warehousing is not an automated business. There are too many uncertain factors in warehousing. It is necessary to take the role of general control to the person in charge who is familiar with inside and outside the warehouse.

From warehousing and logistics enterprises out of the misunderstanding, the use of rich warehouse facilities and management experience, the formation of third-party logistics, to explore suitable for Zhelin power plant integrated logistics management methods, in addition to a certain amount of environmental resources, management innovation is essential, however, innovation management will be subject to all aspects of the constraints.
First, financial constraints. To innovate management, enterprises are bound to introduce some hardware and software facilities, which require a lot of capital investment.
Second, the constraints of institutional renewal. New management ideas, especially the introduction of information systems, will inevitably have a great impact on the original management ideas.
Improvements in management methods are often accompanied by fundamental changes in institutional settings, division of labor, and business processes. As the original system has been in operation for many years and has formed a fixed model, in the process of optimization and reorganization, the handover of business, process control, personnel matching and other aspects of the problem is bound to be a myriad of things, not easy to sort out.
Third, the constraints of knowledge structure. Due to the introduction of new ideas and new knowledge, some people who are too old and have aging knowledge feel at a loss as to what to do, resulting in negative and slow resistance.
Fourth, human constraints. Due to the optimization and reorganization of personnel and the institutionalization and transparency of management, some people have lost their original status and touched the immediate interests of some people, resulting in various resistances.
However, as long as the leaders of the enterprise make up their minds, rely on the staff and workers wholeheartedly, and make the whole enterprise work together to carry out the innovation work unswervingly, they will certainly be able to achieve the expected results.
