reshapes the logistics in the factory and achieve the small goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency
[Smart Logistics] is the launch of intelligent logistics intelligent management solutions for manufacturing enterprises. It is a digital line that effectively runs through procurement, production, warehouse management and sales. It focuses on helping enterprises reshape logistics, accelerate production, assist decision-making, improve operations, and gradually realize cost reduction and efficiency improvement, strengthen competition, win the industry, and lead development through the "mobile, transparent, lean" management of in-house logistics.
On August 15 this year, Weifeng Electronics Kunshan Weikang Company [Smart Logistics] was officially launched, implementing the functions of supplier delivery platform, scanning code to enter the warehouse, purchasing warehouse return, arrival inspection (flat plate), material removal, material return, material return, outsourced delivery, other outsourced, other outsourced, warehouse transfer, inventory allocation, shipment removal, sales return, etc., and has achieved the small goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency through the following five aspects of improvement in Weifeng Electronics' logistics management.
1 procurement efficiency is improved. Before the implementation of : Weifeng electronic purchase orders are all notified by phone or email. The collaboration is difficult and inefficient. Once the purchasing personnel forget to deal with it, the supplier may even fail to receive the order, resulting in the production being unable to proceed normally, affecting the delivery time of the product order. After implementation: [Zhi Logistics]'s supplier management platform preloads the information system to the supplier. After purchasing and placing an order, the supplier can receive procurement information and process orders in real time through WeChat, and can send delivery notifications online and print order codes and material codes offline to achieve standardized shipment. This efficient collaborative model of procurement, delivery and receipt greatly improves the procurement efficiency of Weifeng Electronics and ensures on-time production.
2 animal order arrives, the account is consistent. Before the implementation of : the logistics management data is counted and checked by a dedicated person. If there are any problems, it needs to be modified one by one. The data collection accuracy is low and the information transmission delay is high, which is not conducive to the coordination of front and rear operations.After implementation: Warehouse managers scan PDA, after the materials are put on and off the shelves, the documents are submitted for review directly, and the ERP documents are updated synchronously with the inventory data in real time, so that the animal orders are arrived and the accounts are consistent, and there is no need to arrange a dedicated person to review.
3 truly achieves first-in, first-out. Before the implementation of : review the documents first and then issue the materials. It is difficult to ensure that the warehouse stewards' material delivery batch is consistent with the documents, and it is also impossible to actually control the first-in, first-out. After implementation: The batch of scanned barcodes does not comply with first-in-first out, the system automatically alarms, and the next step is not allowed, and a true first-in-first out has been achieved, and a product quality traceability mechanism has been built.
4 More effective inspection method. Before the implementation of : The inspection adopts the method of "stylus recording" and cannot save relevant pictures, cannot view relevant information in ERP, low inspection efficiency and high error rate. After implementation: Mobile tablet inspection, check the list to be inspected in real time, understand the goods inspection tasks, scan the bar code to directly query the inspection items and AQL data, and can enter the inspection content in time and take photos to upload it to the server, directly submit the inspection results, and update the inspection status in real time.
5 reduces inventory costs. After the implementation of [Smart Logistics], under the basically consistent monthly sales revenue, Weifeng Electronics’ raw material inventory cost and commodity inventory cost both decreased, in other words, profit growth was achieved.
moves towards a new goal of intelligent manufacturing and smart factory management
According to Weifeng Electronics' feedback, the [Smart Logistics] solution has gradually exerted the benefits of intelligent logistics management in the factory one month after its official launch. More importantly, [Smart Logistics] has set a good start for Weifeng Electronics to move towards new goals of intelligent manufacturing and smart factory management. In the thank you letter,
Weifeng Electronics stated, "By implementing management software such as Yifei ERP, intelligent logistics WMS system, and combined with the guidance of Amoeba and lean management consultants, a complete and shared information management platform was established and the company's operating process was optimized." After introducing intelligent flow, the management benefits of "the property and the inventory accuracy was increased to 99.9%; batch management, first-in-first-out control, and tablet inspection were improved, and the quality traceability management of the entire process was improved; PDA order is issued, scanning codes are used to enter and exit the warehouse, truly control the issuance of wrong materials and entry into the wrong accounts; canceling material cards and storage management, and greatly improving the efficiency of PDA preparation is improved."
It can be said that by introducing the [Smart Logistics] solution, Weifeng Electronics has successfully entered intelligent manufacturing, initially realizing the mobile, transparent, lean and intelligent management of procurement logistics, production logistics, warehousing logistics and sales logistics, making up for the gap in intelligent logistics management in the factory, and greatly improving management methods, improving management efficiency, laying a solid foundation for realizing in-depth intelligent manufacturing reform.
In the near future, with the continuous optimization of [Smart Logistics] solutions and the gradual improvement of Weifeng Electronics' digitalization process, we have reason to believe that Weifeng Electronics will become one of the pioneers in the practice of intelligent manufacturing in China. "Our company (Weifeng Electronics) will always attach importance to the optimization of information technology, and at the same time, we hope that your company will continue to support it in the future and achieve the new management goals of intelligent manufacturing and smart factories."
