With the rapid development of modern science and technology, in the era of Internet +, the manufacturing industry is facing multiple reform challenges, enterprises need to integrate and develop with modern logistics industry, so the digital supply chain has become a powerful factor in the development of enterprises today. Therefore, how to complete the transformation faster and better under the premise of the correct general direction is the most important problem of every manufacturing enterprise. So why do manufacturing companies need to achieve digital management?Let's take a look at what problems are the enterprises encountered today?

I. A large number of traditional manual records, statistics, paper, standardization, low information transmission efficiency

As a traditional manufacturing enterprise, the information degree of warehouses is very low, so many warehousing, warehouse transfer, warehouse transfer, inventory, business processes all rely on manual handwriting recording business documents, casual, low accuracy, information transmission is not timely, resulting in a large number of information loss in the invisible.

II. Unstandard warehouse cargo position, disorderly stacking of goods, and difficult to find goods

The warehouse planning is not reasonable, there is no reasonable planning of the goods at random, resulting in the accumulation of goods, packaging damage, and the location record of the goods is inaccurate, which increases the difficulty of finding goods.

Three, difficult to advance first out, dull materials more

Because it is a manual record of goods storage time, the goods have no obvious identification distinction, employees in order to achieve the out of goods fast and convenient.casually find a number of the same goods out of the warehouse, resulting in difficult to ensure the phenomenon of advanced first out, so there is more stagnation, inventory backlog high.

IV. Lack of data management and no effective precipitation

Manual statistics and updating warehouse data records, information statistical standards are inconsistent, paper warehouse data is not fully sorted, archived, useful information value transmission, cannot be given effective data analysis to managers.

V. Insufficient inventory data, affecting procurement, production and sales

After the completion of the entry and warehousing work, the staff uniformly input the data afterwards, resulting in the lag and inaccuracy of the inventory data, resulting in the lack of data support for the procurement, production, sales and other work, and many problems appear.For example, procurement in order to avoid the impact of production and delivery, it had to increase the purchase volume, but resulting in a serious backlog of inventory, the increase of semi-finished products and the increase of raw materials, not only occupy the inventory, but also waste a large amount of capital.

In order to better solve the problems mentioned above, it is very important to realize the warehouse digital management for manufacturing. Through the introduction of wms system, it can effectively break the information barriers between business flow, information flow, capital flow and logistics of supply chain, realize the realization of supply chain visual management, improve the decision support ability based on big data, build a fine warehouse management system and realize digital transformation and upgrading.

VI. Solution

1, drives business process upgrades

Daily tasks need to be created on the wms system and pushed to each staff through RF, which reduces the use of paper, avoid the complex process of finding people and paper documents under the traditional mode, and improve the efficiency of information transmission.

2, workflow process standardization

Make the entry and exit operation standardized, and every employee needs to complete step by step the process on the PDA handheld step by step. For example, when warehousing, we need to choose the corresponding warehousing task —— employees use the PDA scanning system to instruct the shelf storage —— to use PDA scanning materials and finished barcode for verification, to ensure that the accurate —— of materials and finished products input into the shelf quantity —— is completed, and increase the inventory of materials and finished products of WMS system in real time. If there is a step or problem missing above, it will prohibit the completion of the storage into the warehouse, avoid the random operation of employees, reduce the input data, and improve the operation accuracy and real-time of inventory.

3, reasonably divides the warehouse to improve storage efficiency and goods finding efficiency

Through the position management of wms system, assist enterprises to reasonably divide the waiting area, material go, semi-finished products, finished product area, return area, etc., and affixed the barcode label for differentiation and scanning, plus the warehousing and outbound process of wms system, standardize each material, finished products and semi-finished products, reduce the accumulation and damage, improve the utilization rate of the warehouse.

4, batch management, advanced first out, reduce dull material

The batch management function of wms system, combined with barcode technology, code unique barcode for materials and finished products in each batch, and record the storage time. When leaving the warehouse, the system instructs the earliest materials and finished product warehouse according to the advanced exit strategy, and the staff scans and stores the barcode, materials and finished products according to the instructions, and completes the warehouse, thus reducing the generation of dull materials and improving the inventory turnover rate.

5, integrates Other Information Systems

wms system has scalability, can be integrated with SRM, ERP, SAP, MES and other systems, open through the multi-system data docking, realize the real-time system data return ERP, reception and MES ingredients demand, which not only improves the coordination between departments, but also saves the amount of data input operation, and improves the efficiency of the supply chain.
