PROPER STOCK MANAGEMENT , CONTRIBUTES TO REDUCING THE LOSSES
Recently the company SymbAR belonging to Hasar Group, has developed a WMS (Warehouse Management System) called BLOCK © oriented firms medium companies, which among the myriad of benefits to its users, contributes substantially to the reduction of differences inventory in a warehouse, which undoubtedly is a very good start to combat the problem of shortages, which undoubtedly affects the entire supply chain and business.
Like most systems of this type, BLOCK © allows you to generate efficiencies in all the key processes of a pool, regardless of the type of merchandise that there is administered.
Operations such as the receipt of goods, whether from suppliers (purchasing) or customers (returns), as well as for storage, picking, preparation, testing, shipping and inventory-making among others, are those who usually make not very orderly or low and / or no use of available technology, which automatically cause the situation to any desired precision in the absence of inventories, in addition to the generation of unnecessary operating costs.
Expanding a bit more of the foregoing, we can say that it is strikingly obvious and, despite the widely publicized and fully tested the benefits of technology use automatic data capture through bar codes, as well as the possibility have networks to exchange information through radio frequency (using collector / hand held), together with the impressive progress made in techniques for developing computer systems and with a proverbial drop in the cost of international software and hardware, you can still see countless logistical operations and / or distribution that are based solely on manual processes that involve a high demand for human resources, with no acceptable error rates for these times.
It was then that an analysis of market and seeking niche business, we decided to develop this software you should consider the following basic assumptions:
Programming languages to develop next generation.
Using bar code technology and radio frequency for data capture and transmission respectively.
Not propose databases with proprietary formats.
That is very easy to operate.
Have an affordable price for all types of businesses.
With these definitions in mind was that, after carefully analyzing a series of operational and functional requirements that must be supported by the software in mid-2007 began development of the system, having completed its first version in July 2008.
The product is classified in the category of WMS, born under the name BLOCK ©, and to date those who are using it, have gradually generated a number of requirements that did more to enrich it, to the point that most these users see the system, much more than a simple application of stock, are considered the primary tool to achieve the much desired efficiency in the business, on the premise that they have good idea of what happens to their products in every one of the various processes that develop in their stores (warehouses or distribution centers), and are also taken as an extension of "strategic" in their business management system.
Is a Web-based system, which enables remotely (from any Internet Browser) to access a large number of reports or queries about the activity that takes place continuously throughout the reservoir, providing a certain level of managerial control, the possibility of having full knowledge of what happens at the facility, even without being present. Additionally, the ability to completely replace paper for data collection terminals, where each operator receives instructions for the task at hand, to raise substantially the productivity of them, reduce errors, and knows exactly where they are located each of the products in different sectors, regardless of who was the person who moved to that place.
This, together with a host of other features, leading many power lines describing makes BLOCK © is a tool that really contributes to the operational improvement in logistics processes and provides a fundamentally sound management of inventories on the basis have recorded all movement into and out of goods to the warehouse, along with the registration of all domestic incidents.
In terms strictly related to inventory, we can mention the case of a distributor of candy, which has reduced its level of differences of 5% to 0.25% after 3 months of actual use of the system, which undoubtedly is an important contribution in every way.
While we can not guarantee the same outcome in each facility BLOCK ©, because this will depend on a large number of factors including the susceptibility of human resources regarding the use and acceptance "practice" of the "new" (resistance), without a doubt we can say that this tool in a short time available in a leading role in combating the differences in inventory.
