Warehouse Management and the Adaptive Supply Chain Network

Supply chains have become increasingly complex, crossing geographical and cultural boundaries in moments. Products flow in numerous directions. So you have to quickly adapt to changes. Maximum visibility into the entire supply chain is essential to turn real-world, real-time information into a competitive advantage – and profitable growth.

Warehouse Supervisor

SYNCHRONIZE AND ENSURE 24/7 DEMAND FULFILLMENT WITH PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY

To meet the challenges of rapidly changing market dynamics, your company needs to synchronize all logistics, transportation, and fulfillment operations in a 24/7, always-on, environment.

SAP SCM enables you to carry out supply chain planning and generate high efficiency at lowest possible cost. You can respond to demand through an adaptive supply chain network in which distribution, transportation, and logistics are integrated into real-time planning processes. Features include:

  • Order fulfillment – Track and monitor the entire fulfillment process, including order entry, pricing, scheduling, and proof-of-delivery processes.
  • Procurement – Track and monitor closed-loop, order-to-cash procurement from creation of purchase order and invoice to transfer event data to an analytical application.
  • Transportation – Consolidate orders and optimize shipments across the company to maximize the return on transportation spending.
  • Warehousing – Manage warehouse activities, including inbound and outbound processing, facility management and storage, physical inventory, and cross-docking.
  • Real-world awareness – Take advantage of new data collection technologies, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and voice, as well as new workload-balancing tools.
  • Manufacturing – Create feasible, optimized production schedules that take into account real-time material and capacity constraints.
