Getting Started with Warehouse Management Systems
The warehouse is the cornerstone of the supply chain. It ensures the flow of goods from suppliers to end customers, and guarantees the availability of stock to meet demand. Traditionally viewed as storage of goods for profit, warehousing has evolved over the years and modern warehouses now fulfil multiple roles within the overall supply chain.
Effective warehouse management means implementing a dedicated Warehouse Management system (WMS). This course provides a detailed overview of the systems used to run and operate efficient warehouses. We review in detail the functionalities and technologies of a typical and Best-of-Breed WMS as well as the best practices in the implementation of a WMS. The course also takes a close look at available vendors, criteria for success as well as the calculation of ROI.
