Optimized Warehouse Operations: : Enhancing Efficiency and Accuracy in Medical Logistics
Objective: The client aimed to eliminate manual inefficiencies, reduce inventory costs, and improve order accuracy by
implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS). Key objectives included achieving real-time inventory
visibility, automating stock allocation, reducing dispatch errors, and ensuring seamless SAP integration for accurate
data flow.
Business Challenges
The client faced inefficiencies in warehouse operations, leading to errors, high costs, and delays which included:
Lack of Real-Time Inventory Visibility: Inability to track stock status accurately, leading to discrepancies and stockouts
High Inventory Costs: Poor stock movement insights led to overstocking, wastage, and increased holding costs
Complex Stock Transfers: Multi-step, time-consuming stock allocation process slowed down fulfillment
Absence of Quality Control: No QC approval before updating SAP, risking data accuracy and compliance issues
Inefficient Barcode & License Plate Management: No structured system for scanning and managing multiple barcodes
per SKU, affecting dispatch accuracy.
The Solution
The client implemented a robust Warehouse Management System (WMS) to automate operations, streamline
inventory management, and enhance data accuracy. The solution introduced real-time stock visibility,
automated task assignments, and seamless barcode scanning for efficient tracking. A structured quality
control process was integrated into cycle counting to ensure data integrity before updating SAP. Additionally,
the system optimized stock allocation, simplified stock transfers, and enabled license plate management for
inbound and outbound logistics. These enhancements provided the client with a more structured, automated,
and error-free warehouse operation.
