Manual management leads to increased pressure and risk
Company A has more than 3,000 kinds of raw materials and more than 300 kinds of finished products. It is managed by 7 warehouse managers in the sharding area. After the materials are received, the material information is marked with half a sheet of A4 paper, and the material card is registered and filled when entering and leaving the warehouse. And then enter it into the computer's EXCEL spreadsheet.
With the expansion of the company's scale and the increase in the number of materials, the pressure and risk of company A's logistics management are increasing. The main performance is that: because the warehouse does not use any warehouse logistics software, all material records are manually registered for the name, quantity, and Specifications, dates of entry and exit, and other information, manual recording of workload is very large, the timeliness and accuracy of the data completely depend on the work responsibility of the warehouse administrator.
Furthermore, company A's customers basically use a bar code system to manage materials, which requires company A to print and paste bar code labels according to customer requirements before shipping. Manually recording data and label printing work is not only inefficient and has hidden dangers, but also a non-value-added activity for the company, and it has affected customer relationship management to a certain extent.
In this case, Company A decided to adopt bar code management in warehouse management, including the following aspects: comprehensively implement automatic bar code management for raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, etc., manage storage, storage, transfer, transfer, inventory, etc. Business, improve management level; purchase bar code scanning guns and bar code printing equipment, print box labels and various business documents, improve the efficiency and accuracy of operations such as storage and entry; transform the existing local area network, build WLAN, and use the LAN and WLAN to manage the bar code The server, computer, barcode scanner, printing terminal, etc. are connected, and then imported into the ERP system through the interface program, so that it can handle various tasks in real time.
ERP first followed by barcode, step by step implementation
The combination of barcode technology and ERP software can truly achieve the timeliness, accuracy and traceability of data collection. In view of the need for clear business processes for barcode implementation, Company A decided to implement ERP before barcode after careful consideration. Through the optimization of business processes and data correction during the implementation of ERP, it paves the way for the introduction of barcodes. On the other hand, in the implementation and use of ERP, a large amount of document data entry is required. Barcode automatic identification and entry replace manual entry, and also provide a strong guarantee for the smooth operation of the ERP system.
The business scope of the barcode application of company A includes:
â‘ Main process: raw materials storage and storage, finished products storage and storage;
â‘¡Secondary process: production returns into the warehouse, purchase returns out of the warehouse, transfer (transfer between warehouses), transfer of warehouses (transfer between warehouse locations in the warehouse), inventory, query statistics;
â‘¢Outsourcing process: outsourcing processing and incoming processing.
④Semi-finished product process: workshop processing records → semi-finished product storage → semi-finished product storage;
⑤Supply chain supporting process: establish a supplier platform, company A designs the bar code rules, the supplier logs in the company's supplier platform, prints out the product product barcode label, and pastes the barcode label on the parts packaging or pallet before delivery.
Company A decided to adopt a step-by-step implementation strategy, first performing barcode management on raw materials, then implementing finished product warehouses and semi-finished product warehouses, and finally implemented supply chain support. The specific approach is:
Raw material storage: Don't disturb the supplier in the early stage, print the barcode label according to the inspection form for the supplier's incoming materials, and the inspector of company A pastes the barcode on the material packaging or pallet, and then scans into the warehouse. The barcode should contain information such as material code, storage lot number, quantity, storage location and so on. After the bar code system runs smoothly, Company A will send a notice to all suppliers, asking the supplier to remotely print the raw material barcode label through the EDI program and paste it on the product packaging, otherwise the company will not be able to handle the storage and lead to an increase in the payment cycle .
Warehousing of semi-finished products: According to the production order, when the production line is offline, the production operator prints the bar code label and pastes it on the semi-finished product, and then scans into the warehouse.
Finished product storage: Scan the production order and print the finished product barcode label. When a package is filled, the bar code label of the box is automatically printed, and the bar code is pasted to the designated position of the box, and then scanned into the warehouse.
Receiving raw materials from the warehouse: Receiving raw materials must correspond to the relevant production orders in order to calculate production costs and quality recovery. Therefore, when releasing the production task in the workshop, the production order with barcode must be printed. When receiving out of stock, scan the production order to get the list of materials needed for this production order and scan out of stock. The bar code should contain information such as production order number, line number, material code, quantity, production department, etc. For excess picking, the system must have authority control and enter the authorization password.
Finished product delivery: automatically retrieve the delivery list based on the invoice of the marketing department, and scan the barcode labels of the product packaging boxes one by one to ensure the first-in, first-out of finished products. The bar code should contain the key information requested by the customer. The fixed information such as the material code is a code segment, and the change information such as the quantity can be set to another code segment.
It is worth noting that, because the barcode system is integrated with different ERPs, its development difficulty and interface program are different. Therefore, from the perspective of economic and maturity of interface development, Company A chose a complete product line and can provide a package The solution provider, because the integration of its ERP system and barcode system is ready-made, no longer need to find other barcode manufacturers on the market as interfaces.
The effect is reflected in fast, accurate and provincial
Simply put, the advantages of the barcode system are reflected in the three words "fast", "quasi" and "province". The essence of barcode management is process management, the process is fine and controllable, and the results are naturally correct and effective. Barcode management of the warehouse has brought huge benefits to the logistics management of company A, mainly manifested in:
1. Realize material positioning and quantitative management;
2. Control first-in first-out of raw materials to avoid human error;
3. Strictly implement the limit picking to eliminate waste;
4. Real-time control of inventory data, reasonable maintenance and control of enterprise inventory, improve work efficiency and work quality;
5. Through the automatic collection of material batch information, the traceability of the product production process is realized.
More importantly, bar code management promotes the transformation of company A's management model, from traditional experience-based management to accurate digital analysis management, post-employment management to incident management, real-time management, accelerated capital turnover, and improved supply Chain response speed, these will definitely enhance the company's overall competitiveness.
