Then find your goals...
STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 990 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Warehouse Execution System improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 990 standard requirements:
- Can the WES support multiple forecasting models and methods, such as moving average, exponential smoothing, or Croston's method, and allow for the selection of the most suitable approach for each product or product group?
- How does the WES support real-time tracking and monitoring of picking activities, including the location and status of pickers and products, and what visibility does it provide to warehouse managers and supervisors?
- What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) measured by the WES to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the picking process, and how does it use these metrics to identify areas for improvement?
- How does the WES optimize the picking process by considering factors such as order priority, product location, and picker efficiency, and what algorithms or rules does it use to make these decisions?
- How does the WES enable collaboration and communication between different teams, such as inventory planners, logistics managers, and suppliers, to ensure aligned forecasting and planning processes?
- How does the WES integrate with other warehouse management systems and technologies, such as automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) or conveyors, to facilitate inventory substitutions?
- What algorithms or logic does the WES use to determine the optimal inventory allocation strategy based on factors such as product priority, storage capacity, and order fulfillment requirements?
- What are the different order fulfillment strategies supported by the WES, such as pick-to-order, pick-to-batch, and pick-to-zone, and how does it optimize each strategy for maximum efficiency?
- How does the WES support real-time reporting and analytics for picking performance and productivity, including metrics such as picker efficiency, order fulfillment rates, and inventory levels?
- What are the different types of conveyor systems that can be integrated with a WES, such as belt conveyors, roller conveyors, or screw conveyors, and how do they impact warehouse efficiency?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:
