SCM 90

Things are going well at work, our little company got big is getting a new WMS system come January.   Or so I’m told by our COO, this is dependant on our parent company funding the IT project.  The company is said to bolt onto SAP nicely and that’s the reason we’re getting it….because we’re supposed to get SAP in about 4 years.

We saw the whiz-bang demo and liked what we saw and set up a rough plan to get this going.  I’m excited we’ll be getting a system that allows us to count “shelf to sheet” or bin by bin.  This is as opposed to our current sytem of count the entire SKU regardless of how many bins there are or how widely they are scattered. 

That said, out system is getting better–but I look forward to the time when we get this implemented so that we’ll be able to add a good deal more accountability to our process and adjust the habits of the worst offenders.
