As a result of the recommended configurations, warehouse and DC executives can squeeze out more productivity and reduce costs. Applying juncture optimization to the DC node in the supply chain yields:
Strategic insight for executives via our unique “look forward capability.” Similar to the look-ahead function in a computerized chess game, this parallel processed, n-way swap approach finds profitable chains of moves that incrementally improve slotting assignments.
A powerful heuristic that can slot an entire facility from scratch. Using slot and item profiles as well as definable goals and constraints, OptiSlot computes the optimal assignment of items to slots.
A variable depth look forward function that compares existing slot locations to the ideal slotting assignment. With periodic comparisons (daily, hourly, etc.) real time "best ten" moves lists afford reslotting directives as resources become available (ex. off shift selections, etc.) This feature affords incremental improvements versus requiring an entire facility reslot.
A web-services model enabling enterprise wide accessibility. Slotting optimization can be managed by and visible to employees responsible for day-to-day operations.
Straightforward, yet robust reports provide line and upper level management with insight for better decision-making.
Slider based rules control provides infinite combinations enabling the highest degree of option analysis.
· Alternative-scenario simulations offer a visual representation for solution impact.
Our Better Flow™ technology allows for ease of integration and supercharges existing supply chain tools like an existing WMS. The OptiSlot engine creates a "smart warehouse" that is always "thinking" about how to improve throughput and decrease operational costs.
