STORE MANAGEMENT-(WAREHOUSE-MANAGEMENT)
ABSTRACT
module provides real-time information about store across the enterprise and tools to manage the daily operational needs of single-site or multiple-site four-wall warehouses. Coordination of an organization’s store is one of today’s most important business needs and requires an understanding of the relationship between the different organizational units such as stores, production facilities, sales offices, and purchase offices. While the mapping of a single-site or multi-site organization and the definition of relationship in the internal supply chain can be undertaken with the help of the distribution requirement planning (drp), the actual transfer of goods can be handle through the store management application. The various component of a good store management application will be designed to meet a wide range of store needs, such as the mapping of internal goods flow within store and the monitoring of all store inventory transaction. In addition, these component are centralised for area that include prouction, sales, purchase project and service and provide companies with the tools to inform customers about where (the company’s or the customer’s) goods and located, the number of goods on hand, current storage condition and project delivery schedules. The store application should also offer expanded capabilities such as cross-docking, rules-based inventory replenishment, picking optimisation, multi-level packaging and consigned goods management. These capabilities also allow for easy integration with financial tools to provide greater enterprise-wide insight into costs.
