Guide and enable each participant to understand the general concepts, applicability, of each Logix WMS (Warehousing Management System) process.
Portray an overview of the WMS System modules for the logistics operator and industrial market sector, the relationship between WMS and ERP process in what concerns these areas: Supplies, Trade, Billing, Manufacturing, Fiscal, among others.
Target Audience
Logistics professionals.
Professionals who need knowledge about using the Logix WMS module;
Deployment consultants who need a broader insight into the Logix WMS module;
Professionals from other areas who wish to be enabled to use this module.
Topics addressed
1.WMS General Concepts The objective is to explain general concepts applied in WMS, such as: what is WMS, its features, requirements, areas of operation, storage/separation equipment, warehouse safety, work teams, used acronyms, what is: picking, stage, drop-point, dock, cross-docking, among other related subjects.
2.Basic Records Parameterization necessary to use the WMS module. The objective is to explain the main registers to begin the process.
3.Physical Structure and Mapping Existing types of physical structures, DC layout creation and respective locations, product configuration and packages, inventory types/restrictions, and mapping that defines storages logics (products x DC addresses.)
4.Operational/Trade Configuration Concepts of service orders, operation classes, service, activity, resource, contract, proposal, among others used by the WMS. Configuration of services that will be executed by the WMS corresponds to the operational configuration of processes and trade configuration that corresponds to services contracted by each depositor. 5.Label Assembly Bar code label types and models used in WMS processes.
6.Gate Control Routine for vehicle entrance and exit control (CESV). Demonstrate situations in which the module manages CESV [Vehicle Entrance and Exit Control], since the vehicle entrance control until it exits the DC.
7.Receipt Process Receipt process flow, for the logistics operator and industry sector, highlighting these features:
Invoice registering
Provisional/definitive invoice concept
CESV [Vehicle Entrance and Exit Control]/NFs [Invoices] Relationship
Receipt Planning
Operational processes available for receipt.
8.Fiscal Adjustment Process in which products are received through provisional invoices and the adjustment process based on the shipment invoices for storage.
9.Movement and Storage Storage plan that aims to suggest and reserve the best storage places for an item, taking into account the configured rules. Present processes available in the module related to inventory movement, merger and division.
10.Shipment Separation, checking and loading processes for the logistics operator and industry market sector.
11.EDI Options available in the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) module for configuring entry and exit layouts for information requested by the WMS module originated or destined to other market systems or legacy. For example, sales request/invoice entry, clients register and products, among others.
12. Billing of Storage Services Recovery configurations and modes made available by the module, flexibility and ease in creating formulas for charging for storage services. The way the system monitor all processes related to receipt, storage, shipment, among other, from a Distribution Center, for the purpose of billing services.
13. Inventory Configurations available for general and cyclical inventory, highlighting these features:
Inventory Plan Generation,
Resource Allocation,
Inventory Plan Release,
Inventory Plan Execution (counting/recounting)
Inventory Result Analysis
Current Account Inventory
Physical/Fiscal Inventory Adjustment
Plan Management and Monitoring.
14.Exercises Conceptual exercises.
Considerations: Next WMS modules will be addressed in other grids:
Module II - General Configurations - WMS Logix
Module III - Receipt Process - WMS Logix
Module IV - Shipment Process - WMS Logix
Module V - Inventory Process - WMS Logix
Module VI - Storage Services Billing - Logix WMS (optional)
Module VII - EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) - WMS Logix (optional)
Important: The modules are pre-requirements for each other in sequence, for example: module I is a prerequisite for module II, which is a prerequisite for module III, and so on.
