Challenges
Implement a cloud-based warehouse management solution to support rapid business expansion and ensure operational efficiency.:
1) Phase 1: Initial implementation at the central warehouse in the U.S., with a tailored design and roll-out plans for four additional warehouses in Mexico.
2) Phase 2: Roll-out at another warehouse, adapting processes from the initial implementation.
Key requirements included:
– Change management to promote operational best practices, including Hand Held and voice picking technology to improve inventory accuracy and reduce operational times.
– Management of dry, refrigerated, and frozen storage zones.
– Agile location assignment system for picking and reserve zones.
– Automated task generation for replenishing picking areas from alternate warehouses.
– Wave picking processes with FEFO and FIFO criteria.
– Simple technology integration for automated processes.
Solutions
Implemented Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud, designed around the established “TO BE” process.
Phase 1 (Central warehouse):
- System configuration and early testing with key and end-users to ensure adoption
- Physical warehouse preparation (WiFi coverage, location, and product labeling).
- Online interfaces with Oracle EBS ERP and voice picking technology.
- Custom reports in OTBI for specific business controls.
- Designed custom labels for inbound, outbound, item, and location processes.
- Go-live execution and roll-out preparation for other warehouses.
Phase 2 (Roll-out)::
- Process replication in another warehouse with local adjustments
- Continued change management and adoption testing to ensure uniform processes
- Online interfaces with Oracle EBS ERP and voice picking technology.
- On-time go-live execution
Both phases standardized warehouse operations, ensured greater inventory accuracy, and optimized picking and replenishment times across the network
