At Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture , warehouse management faces a number of challenges at Incoming goods that need to be overcome as soon as the ordered components are delivered.
In order to make the assembly of the machine as efficient as possible, the ordered parts must be assigned to the corresponding projects quickly and without errors. It is also important to inform all project participants about Incoming goods in good time to avoid delays in the project flow. From the allocation of deliveries to Order picking , there are numerous aspects that require precise and fast processing.
Here are the biggest challenges of incoming goods in Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture/plant engineering:
Delivery bills for goods deliveries often only contain order numbers, but no project numbers. In order to assign the deliveries to the correct projects, the employee has to go through the list of orders manually and search for the correct projects.
Once these projects have been identified, the BOM of the project must then be manually supplemented with the info "delivered". Finally, all other departments must be informed about the delivery of goods. Project throughput at Incoming goods depends too much on manual processes, which are time-consuming and can lead to many errors.
Projects at Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture are often so large that a subdivision of the project warehouse is required to ensure efficient material management. In order to subdivide a Project stock , the Order picking must be organized according to assemblies.
The employees in the incoming goods department face a particular challenge here: the delivery bill can only be assigned to one order and then to one project. The Incoming goods has no way of assigning the delivered parts to a specific assembly within the project.
erp4cad offers innovative solutions for overcoming these challenges. All functions and processes are precisely tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized companies in the special machine/plant engineering sector. customized.
Here are our concrete solutions for Incoming goods in Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture/plant construction:
Goods receipt: Via erp4cad, Incoming goods has access to all open orders with their project affiliation. The employee has the option of checking the ordered and delivered quantities. Delivery bills can be entered manually or by scanner and assigned directly to an order. The goods can then be posted to either the project or general warehouse. If the goods are also to be checked for quality, the user has direct access to the design drawing and can create a complaint immediately if necessary.
Order picking according to assemblies: With the Location-on-machine function, each item is assigned to an assembly using a parts list item number or a parts list path. This ensures that each installed component has a unique position in the project overview list (Project Overview List). This means that every employee can see where the component is installed on the machine. This clear assignment makes it possible to pick the goods not only by project, but also by assembly group.
Our ERP system erp4cad promotes efficient material and warehouse management as well as optimized processes for Incoming goods at Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture. Automation reduces manual effort and minimizes sources of error.
The integration of erp4cad enables seamless communication between logistics and all other departments, resulting in better time management and improved collaboration. The function also improves assembly workflows, as the required parts are already grouped and made available for specific assembly steps.
