Agile Warehouse Management

Improving Warehouse Efficiency
In an effort to cut costs and streamline operations, many supply chain companies are overhauling their warehouse operations. They want to make smarter use of existing space to avoid costly expansions. They want to optimize movement within the warehouse to cut the time wasted in putaway and picking. And they want to understand exactly what they have in stock at any given time to avoid overinvesting in materials they don’t need — and to avoid having insufficient inventory to respond to demand. In addition to improving internal efficiency, a real-time view of inventory and warehouse activity can improve customer satisfaction by facilitating timelier and more accurate shipping. It also allows companies to simplify tracking of hazardous and date-sensitive materials for improved regulatory and recall compliance.

Agile Warehouse Management
With Agile Warehouse Management from TAKE Supply Chain, companies gain real-time visibility of material movement and availability that allows them to accomplish more with existing resources. Warehouse staff can use handheld data collection devices to continually update the record of materials entering and leaving the warehouse. Because updates occur in real-time (versus delayed batch updates or error-prone manual entries), companies know exactly how much inventory they have at any given moment and can better gauge their ability to meet changes in demand.

In addition to improving inventory visibility, Agile Warehouse Management also optimizes facility setup to make the smartest use of warehouse space and streamline traffic flow. Companies realize greater efficiency in every facet of warehouse activity, from receiving and putaway to picking, packing and shipping.

Key Benefits:

  • Gain a strategic view of inventory
  • Eliminate overstock and shortages
  • Streamline putaway, picking and packing
  • Reduce shipping errors
  • Integrate data collection technology

"The lot control and traceability we now have gives us peace of mind that we can respond immediately should there be a product recall. We know where every raw ingredient ends up and can locate any goods — raw, intermediate or finished — in a matter of minutes. We can’t put a dollar value on that."

— Jim Kruse, Controller, Blue Bell
