Globally Synchronize Warehouse Operations with Production
TheFlexNet® Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a modular component of the FlexNet Operations Execution System, tightly synchronizing warehouse operations with production. FlexNet Warehouse directs people and equipment, monitoring and reporting on activities ranging from receipt of raw materials to shipping of finished goods. The system directs put aways by cross-docking materials directly to and from production as necessary. Designed for the global enterprise, FlexNet Warehouse eliminates paperwork, improves productivity, reduces errors, lowers inventory and cuts labor costs.
When incorporating FlexNet Warehouse as part of your Operations Execution System, a resulting benefit is real-time, end-to-end visibility and control to synchronize material flows with production, quality, labor and maintenance processes. FlexNet Warehouse combined with FlexNet Production provides you the ability to reduce idle inventory and work-in-process (WIP) buffers, improving cycle times and agility to changing market conditions. When combined with FlexNet Quality, it is possible to reduce the cost of quality, lower the risk of shipping products out of spec and provides dock-to-dock genealogy. Measure labor performance to optimize labor and equipment costs by combining FlexNet Warehouse with FlexNet Labor.
FlexNet Warehouse empowers manufacturers to expand Lean initiatives into the warehouse while enhancing traceability and genealogy capabilities to improve overall operations performance. Apriso offers an innovative approach to warehouse management from a manufacturer’s perspective, focusing on how to optimize production, remove idle inventory and improve quality while reducing costs.
