Manufacturers face a continuous need to balance production capability and flexibility with capacity. Planning production to allow for necessary lead times is difficult.
Microlistics WMS allows your business to operate at full capacity by giving visibility and control over both production and distribution.
With Microlistics WMS, you can obtain the full benefit of Lean and just-in-time manufacturing methodologies. At the back end, Microlistics WMS directs raw materials directly into production, or storage where it can be pulled as needed, optimising storage utilisation and reducing line delays.
At the front end Microlistics WMS manages finished goods distribution, minimising storage by leveraging just-in-time replenishment, compressing lead times from production to distribution, and sending end product directly into waiting transport.
Order accuracy and fulfilment, and replenishment speed, are critical for inbound material and line-side replenishment.
Microlistics WMS gives you end-to-end visibility with a single view of orders, shipments and inventory across your network. It allows you to monitor, in real-time, inbound receiving, materials storage, work-in-process staging, kitting, finished inventory storage, and shipping. It also integrates seamlessly with your ERP/MRP and includes tools that manage global sourcing and provide end-to-end supply chain visibility.
