Inventory Tracking
Problem:High volumes of various products, many of which are physically similar and time sensitive, must be moved from manufacturing to finished goods and then retrieved for loading and shipment. Currently personnel have problems finding all of the products for the orders, causing revenue loss and production time loss. Additionally, the plant experiences short manufacturing runs to replace material that cannot be located. This often results in inflated inventory levels to cover inaccurate inventory quantities. One incorrectly shipped pallet may generate $1,100 in unnecessary costs.
Solution:Hunkar Production Server automatically links printer applicators to the manufacturing system generating bar codes that will be scanned in the pallet loading area to make certain the correct product(s) are loaded on the correct pallets for shipment. All pallets have a unique ID including pallet location. Paper is replaced with hand held terminals for picking, staging, loading and shipment validation.
Benefits:- Order and inventory data are up to date.
- Invoice time is significantly reduced resulting in improved cash flow.
- Correct product mixture is palletized and the pallets are shipped to the correct location.
- Productivity improved due to lack of emergency short manufacturing runs to replace missing material.
- Profits increased due to lower costs associated with incorrectly shipped pallets.
