Problem statement
The problem describes the scenario of the warehouse management system. Adoption of a new
warehouse management system is a challenging task for the business. Before the adoption process, it is
required to understand the system capabilities, faults in the existing system and benefits of adopting a
new system. The given scenario is about the auto-part supply business. The existing warehouse
management system is not capable enough to handle the warehouse processes. It reduces the efficiency
of the business. The warehouse has inaccurate levels of inventory which gives a negative impact. This
increases the operational cost of the warehouse. The existing warehouse management system is not
able to properly handle the core processes of the business like packing, order processing, outbound
documentation and many more. The existing system is not suitable to provide high availability of the
services due to the absence of a backup plan. The natural disaster can affect the operations of the
business. The current system has a high operational cost because the operational cost and maintenance
cost of the equipment is high. This decreases the business productivity. The existing warehouse system
follows a pen-paper approach which is not secure enough and takes a lot of time to complete the
procedure. The existing system of warehouse management is also suffering from lagging. Also, the
system is not capable to provide a real-time inventory tracking.
