Incorporating Lean Concepts in WMS Process Designs

Many companies do not understand the handling units of measure and the velocity in which inventory flows through their facility. Moreover, they do not understand the pitfalls of their current process when attempting to design efficient processes in their distribution center. Whatever the goals are for implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS), many companies and integrators fail to realize the importance of including Lean Material Flow Principles as part of their WMS implementations.

In this white paper, you will learn:

• What you should do during the WMS design phase to optimize processes
• Key process areas that are often overlooked
• How to understand your current baseline of processes and where lean improvements can be made
