3MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF WAREHOUSE
Introduction
Jack Greig and Daniel Cox run an auto-parts business in Australia for past few years.
They are very experienced in this business. The warehouse is running on a system of the
warehouse management s but the information system is unable to manage the highly dynamic
processes. The progressive procedures are very essential for moving and storing their
inventory at very dynamic efficiency and minimum cost (Accorsi, Manzini & Maranesi,
2014). This study focuses on the developing a fresh management system of the management
of warehouse, which will be included the functionality of warehouse processing and the
advantages of transforming the warehouse management. This report highlights on the
function of the system, benefits and capabilities of the new management system.
Problems
There may be some challenges of the management system transformation. The
challenges can be are as follows:
Accuracy of Warehouse Inventory
The major problem of warehouse management is to keep accurate data of inventory
items. The challenges can depend on the time factors. This can occur because of insufficient
management system training.
Efficient Layout of Warehouse

management is to provide the correct location of inventory.
Picking Optimization
Most of the problems of the warehouse management occur in picking and this concern
cause the mistakes at the time of put away and receiving tasks.
Time Management
This is the vital concern, which comes down whether the procedures are ready for
fulfilling the packaging of order and the shipment. Order picking never should take much
time, as it will cost money to the business.
Capabilities
The warehouse management system has various capabilities. Many capabilities of the
management system of the new management system of the warehouse are
 It processes the information accurately and rapidly. It consists of big storage capacity.
The system communication is instant.
 The system will help in accessing the information very fast.
 It can coordinate and collaborate with the other businesses with minor effort.
 The system management provides computerized data and supports the every decision
change of the organization.

 The management system monitors and controls the warehouse practices (Atieh et al.,
2016). As it has sharp memory system and supportive learning, it helps in maximizes
the activities of the organization.
 The management system always presents the easy model of the object and it develops
the objects (Wild, 2017). It always keeps separate the products and the service.
Benefits
Using the management system of the warehouse management the company can get
many benefits. It will reduce the complexity and the cost. The cost of the labor will also
reduce and the flexibility, responsiveness and accuracy will be improved. The system will
minimize the errors at the time of picking orders and the shipment of the products. It provides
better customers service and the worker cost will be very less (Richards, 2017). The real time
data of the warehouse management is managed by the management system. It will also
monitor and the control the activities in the warehouse such as order, shipping, receipt, stock
record and so on. It provides an improved tracking and control system of the inventory and
the stock and provides alarming technique of the handle issue of the inventory process and
stock (Giannikas et al., 2013). This system will automatically generate the purchase order and
the receipt. It will reduce the level of the staff and hires temporary employee for high season.
Conclusion
This can be concluded by the study that the system of management of the warehouse
needs to be analyzed for improving the system. The organization should analyze the
execution of the software and the benefits of the management system of the warehouse. The
information system provides the optimization during shipping of the products and the
satisfaction of the customer. This report emphasize on the up gradation and implementation
