WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Introduction
A warehouse management system (WMS) is a key part of the supply chain and primarily aims to control the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse and process the associated transactions, including shipping, receiving, putaway and picking. The systems also direct and optimize stock putaway based on real-time information about the status of bin utilization. A WMS monitors the progress of products through the warehouse. It involves the physical warehouse infrastructure, tracking systems, and communication between product stations. More precisely, warehouse management involves the receipt, storage and movement of goods, normally finished goods, to intermediate storage locations or to a final customer. In the multi-echelon model for distribution, there may be multiple levels of warehouses. This includes a central warehouse; a regional warehouse serviced by the central warehouse and potentially retail warehouses serviced by the regional warehouses.
Types of WMS Software
With the advance of the Information Technology (I.T), human creates software to simplify and to ensure the product they handle in their warehouse have an excellent inventory and easily access whenever they are needed. As SAP and Oracle are competing against each other to be the best in providing the software to serve their customer needs in warehouse management
