DCProfiler - Smart Outbound Process Flow Management & Execution

All too often organizations limp along with underperforming Warehouse Management Systems fearing the time and cost of a new integration, subsequent go-live, and of course all of the required re-training.  MTE provides a pathway to upgrading your existing WMS functionality thereby avoiding the pain, time, and cost associated with such a move. The end result: enhanced capability and insight beyond most top tier packages, at a fraction of the cost. Unlike a WMS go-live, this fully integrated functionality can be phased in at your preferred pace to avoid any disruption to operations. The sum of which will improve productivity, reduce labor costs, and enable operations to match the workforce to the workload of your outbound warehouse processes throughout the day, in real time. Don't replace your WMS, make it smarter. Differentiating areas of value include yet are not limited to:

• Calculated Outbound Process Flow & Execution Management
• Order Profiling
• Labor Resource Management 
• Enhanced Cartonization & Palletization
• Management and Monitoring of:

              o Picking/Packout/Staging/Dock Door Progress

• Smart Release of Picks to Floor

              o Up to 75% of stops can be eliminated on a batch of orders     

                  when strategically assigned

• Comprehensive Calculation of Work Effort for Orders
• Supports ALL Picking Methods
• Less Congestion through Balanced Outbound Activity
• Increased Operational Efficiency with Less Personnel 
• Increased Employee Morale
• Intelligent Trailer Building
• Able to be Phased In Avoiding Major Disruption to Current Operations

              o i.e. Start by running a small set of orders through a single    

                 zone for 1-2 hours. Assess the good/bad/ugly, adjust 

                 considerations if necessary, and slowly implement the newly 

                 acquired enhanced functionality into other desired areas at  

                 your discretion.

The need to develop performance goals within a supply chain network has always been recognized. However, identifying key performance goals is only the first step. Given this constant need, where do you start? Would a 35,000 ft. ‘real-time’ view of your network allowing for clear and insightful performance measurements help? Of course it would, but let’s take it one step further. Our network capacity analysis solution provides the often-missing link of formulating and implementing performance initiatives within a supply chain network through a unique and robust value-added feature set. Evaluate all potential modeling scenarios and enable your team to appropriately plan vs react. Differentiating areas of value include yet are not limited to:

• Ability to Summarize Performance Analytics by Market, Region or Type of Distribution Point for past, current or future periods 
• Perform Interactive Greenfield Analysis to Review Impact on Current and Proposed Supply Chain Network and Specific Distribution Center Models

              o What happens if inventory models increase?

              o What happens if distribution points are closed?

              o What size should a warehouse be given a desired    

                  inventory level?  

• Drill down from Summary to Detailed Capacity & Utilization views of all Distribution Points for Past, Current, or Future Periods 
• Rank Warehouses based upon Goals and Objectives
• Understand Demand Forecasting based upon both Sales Projections as well as Warehouse Capacity Considerations
