Digital Industry
Optimization of traceability and delivery logistics. With SAP we have improved the system processes of an international appliance player.
Approach & Solution
Approach
After being acquired by a world’s leading home appliance company, a major company in the same sector started the harmonisation process of all its systems. The need was to migrate from the acquired company's SAP Warehouse Management to the parent company's SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
Using the SAP EWM module, Engineering integrated the processes of the 6 most strategic finished goods warehouses (for a total of 500 users, in some cases with 24/7 operations).
Solution
Engineering integrated together the 3 ERP systems to perform the following activities:
- Full Receiving, Internal Transfer and Picking/Loading
- Serial Number Management
- Strict control during loading
- Wave Management with strong integration with the Shipment
- Resource Execution Constraints
- Work Order with sophisticated routing rules
- special rules for the Inbound Process.
