Mistakes can show up throughout the supply chain process, yet no where more clearly than in warehousing, requiring a focused enterprise strategy. Warehouse control systems (WCS) are part of lean efficiency, and according to Jerry List, Vice President of Cincinnati, Ohio-based QC Software, The most significant impact on reducing warehousing errors is the need for real-time warehouse data with warehouse control systems. To avoid costly mistakes distribution centers need to be more dynamic, constantly re-inventing by expanding an existing footprint, adding new value added services and operational processes, or finding better ways to quickly and accurately fulfill orders. Configurability and scalability of the WCS is essential. The warehouse control system enables an automated warehouse or distribution center to reach peak operating performance. Mistakes Include Missed Opportunities for Optimization Failure to realize this type of optimization is another kind of mistake. Manufacturing Journalist, Thomas R.
