1 Determine the best approach for your warehouse ERP vs WMS

2 Multi-Site Management WMS Definition Use SOLOCHAIN to manage an infinite number of sites on the same application Sites can be configured to implement an integrated logistics and manufacturing chain WMS Stratification Model Every site is defined with its own business rules and attributes Suppliers and customers can be integrated through an information or transaction portal What to expect from a Best-of-Breed WMS About Sologlobe

3 What is a WMS? WMS suites are software applications that manage the various operations, tasks and activities of moderate to complex warehouse or distribution centers (DCs)

4 Objectives of WMS: Optimization: Advanced algorithms, mobility, real-time information enabling better decision making Accuracy: Doing things right the first time. Knowing what you have and where Optimization of space: Volumetry because space = $$$ Compliance: Regulations, Customers

6 Some variations - Pure distribution - Pure distribution with value added services - Manufacturing - Inbound warehouse - Outbound warehouse

7 Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Connecting the warehouse with the shop floor WIP tracking End-to-end traceability

8 Not all warehouses are the same Not all Warehouse Management Systems are the same

9 Many ways to go from point A to point B ASSEMBLY*

13 ASSEMBLY*

14 Level 1 Store Room - Bin tracking - Perpetual Inventory - Receiving, Picking and shipping - Single storage location, storage predefined and typically fixed - Paper based - Appropriate stock rooms, retail stores

15 Level 2 Rudimentary Locator - Multi-location inventory tracking - Receiving, put-away, limited picking options, shipping - Limited work verification - Often paper-based - Appropriate for minimally complex facilities

16 Level 3 Advanced Locator - More sophisticated features focusing on improving physical warehouse processes - More options, increased flexibility (more out-of-the-box options) - Provide customization through rules definition (not coding) - Support RF devices for work issuance and verification but still use paper - Additional features: cross-docking, multiple pick and put-away methodologies, palette/case license plating, packing)

17 Level 4 Intelligent - Focus on people driven processes - Focus change from just improving physical work processes to value-added capabilities and managerial support - Task management. Advanced put-away rules - Advanced replenishment - Advanced picking - Task management, dock & yard, slotting - Operations are typically more complex and sophisticated with higher work volume - Requirements for improved performance and throughput while adding more decisionsupport capabilities

18 Level 5 Automated - Emphasis shift to automation - Built around automation - Specialized systems combined (WCS) with tier 1 WMS - Design driven by engineering firms

29 Mobile Productivity: Voice and Scan A Hybrid approach

30 Multi Usage Platform Integrating multi-functions using one device and embedded in the SOLOCHAIN processes. For example, when performing a receiving task you can take a picture of damaged material, indicate a damage code, and the information is linked in real time to the receiving task - linked to the Purchase Order - then linked to the suppliers

31 Mobility for Real Time Information

32 Advanced Receiving Multi Receivers Mode Multi POs Receiving Zone Consolidation Embedded QA Process Automatic Cross Dock

33 Advanced Putaway Optimization SKU Consolidation Space Optimization Two steps Put away Interleaving Tasks Zones Sequencing Advanced Replenishment Min Max Preemptive Replenishment Real Time Coverage Reporting

34 Advanced Pick & Pack Zone Picking Multi Orders picking Pick to Box with optimized Volumetry Single line Fast path Shippable Advanced Consolidation

35 Advanced Shipping Real Time Dock Management Real Time Loading Validation Load Consolidation Load Planning and Sequencing Electronic Transport Documentation

36 All Web Services transactions are monitored via the SOLOCHAIN import and export hub. The hub is embedded in the SOLOCHAIN solution ASSEMBLY*
