Warehouse Management
System
Victory Arch’s warehouse management system provides a centralized software interface for processing, managing, and monitoring a warehouse’s operational processes
Receiving
The act of handling products into a warehouse and onto a system.
Put-Away
A good system will prompt put-away staff with a note indicating that stock is in staging waiting to be transported to a storage location.
Picking
There are two main types of picking.
Primary: This is the first picking of goods. In some cases, the first picking is delivered directly to a staging area or packing bench for finalisation, consigning and dispatching, thus the first picking becomes the last picking.
Secondary: This is a second picking process. Some primary picks are subject to a second picking process, particularly where picked goods must be allocated to clustered orders (bunch of orders), or discrete orders (single orders) via a sortation process or system.
Packing
There are several ways that goods are packed within distribution centers. Rather than delve into the specific details of packing processes, it’s suffice to follow five rules for successful packing:
- Goods picked must be traceable in terms of location from which they are picked.
- Accuracy and QA checks must be built into the process.
- Goods picking from different zones within the warehouse must be system-managed to ensure order completeness.
- Goods must be packed according to their size, quantity, temperature, value, and fragility.
- Consignments must always be system-traceable to documents and/or invoice numbers for future traceability.
Dispatching
The successful art of dispatch lies in the operation’s ability to have goods ready for departure, just in time for carriers to load their vehicles.
