Features of Warehouse Management System
Warehouse Management Systems are gaining importance similar to that of other software solutions. A typical warehouse management system would include controlling the movement of materials and the storage of the materials. Though these functionalities are very basic, the warehouse management system is expanding its functionalities to include light manufacturing, transportation management, order management, and integrated with the accounting systems. Now warehouse management systems are transforming into warehouse focused ERP(Enterprise Resource planning)system.
It is found that there are overlaps in the functionality of the warehouse management and the enterprise resource planning, distribution requirements planning, transportation management systems, supply chain planning and scheduling. If all these are to have separate software, the company that is using the software will get confused with the software solution provided separately. Hence there is a need for an integrated system that will have warehouse management and other related operations of the company.
There are many software vendors who provide warehouse management software. Although there are many vendors, the basic functionality of the warehouse management system is not changed. The primary purpose is to control the movement and storage of the materials. A good warehouse management system would have a flexible location system, get user defined parameters to direct warehouse tasks and use live documents for execution of the tasks. Some form of integration with other devices is possible so that the warehouse management system gets live data from other devices connected to it.
Not every warehouse will need a warehouse management system. If the operation of the warehouse is continuous and very frequent with a lot of transactions per day then a warehouse management system would justify the cost involved in setting it up. A lot of initial setup is to be done to keep the data warehouse management systems to run and to keep the current operation on the run. There must be a smooth transition from the current system to the warehouse management system. Often a separate department is set up to monitor the operations of the warehouse and to use the information system related to that of the warehouse management system.
Automated data collection in the warehouse management system would reduce the cost in the labour and increase the accuracy of the data. It increases the effectiveness of the service provided to the customer by reducing the cycle time. Inventory reduction and increased storage capacity are less likely. The level of safety stock can be reduced while increasing the efficiency of the system.
What is the alternative for warehouses not using a warehouse management system?
选项
A、They carry out a lot of transactions per day.
B、They spend a long period of time on setting up a new system.
C、They set up a new department to monitor the operations of the warehouse.
答案
C
解析
题干意为:不使用仓储管理系统的仓库可以怎样做?A项意为:每天进行很多交易,B项意为:花大量时间建立新的系统,C项意为:建立起新的部门来管理仓库的运营。原文第四段指出:“如果仓库的运作是持续、经常性的,并且每天有大量的交易,则花费大量资金建立仓储管理系统能说得过去。”由此可知,每天有大量交易的仓库有建立仓储管理系统的必要,因此A项不正确;另外,建立该系统要花费大量资金而不是时间,故B项错误。C项与文中第四段最后提到的“通常会成立一个独立的部门监控仓库的运营”一致,所以正确,故答案为C。
