Inbound Processes

8Inbound Processes

Process 1: Receive cartons Scenario 1.1: Receive against ASN Scenario 1.2: Blind Receiving

Process 2: Quality checkPut-away

9

Scenario 1.1: Receiving Against ASN

The Carrier Paperwork contains shipment number, and expected cartons.

We will review and possibly update quality check settings of the origin sewing plant.

Cartons can be received in a standard area or specialized area.

Received cartons can be tagged with a season code to aid future rework.

Multiple receivers will scan cartons as they are unloaded from the truck.

10

Scenario 1.1 continued

Some cartons will be sent for quality check because of vendor profile settings.

Some cartons will be sent to forward pick locations because they are immediately needed for picking.

Majority of the cartons will be staged for locating to storage area.

11

Scenario 1.2: Blind Receiving

We will demonstrate receiving of cartons for which we have no ASN.

User will need to enter SKU and pieces of each received carton.

DCMS will auto-generate shipment information. Carton ticket are printed if needed

12

Process 2: Quality Check

During receiving, Some cartons are moved for quality check. We will use MAT module of DCMS to perform quality check. You will notice that if irregulars are identified during

quality check and carton will be marked for correction.

Cartons which successfully pass quality check are moved to storage.

13

Put-away

DCMS supports multiple put-away methods. Guided Put away - You can pre-determine locations to

locate inventory and system will guide locator to these locations.

Cross Dock- Locate to a staging area for quick cross dock.

Utilize empty locations- Simply locate to system suggested empty location.

16

Download Orders from ERP

Orders are periodically downloaded to DCMS system from ERP or entered using flat file received from customer.

DCMS supports EDI standards for downloading orders.

DCMS can also provide customized interface for integrating with ERP.

17

Wave Management

Allows you to search and select orders to ship and allocate inventory to the orders. For this demo we will pick order of customer Walmart. You will understand which UI options

are available to select an order. Search orders of Walmart in Pick Wave

screen. Allocate inventory to these orders; this

allows picking process to trigger. Consolidate orders to reduce

transportation and shipping costs using EDI753-754 routing.

18

Guided Box Pick

Guided picking process of DCMS guides pickers to exact locations using hand held mobile computer to pick inventory.

Picker affixes UCC and CCL labels to the carton and drops them at the QC station or conveyor belt.

QC is performed and then cartons are moved to dock.

19

Guided Pitching

When the order being shipped is such that you can pick full cartons from storage, cartons are created from forward pick locations using piece picking called Pitching in DCMS.

DCMS uses best pick path algorithm to keep the distance travelled the shortest.

Half picked cartons are marked RED.Fully picked cartons can be sent for VAS if

needed.

20

Conveyor Sortation

After picking cartons are placed on a conveyor for sortation. Cartons are sorted using pre-configured rules

in DCMS. During sortation some of the cartons are

moved for QC, based on quality check percentage set. Please visit our site at http://eclsys.com/index.php/demo-videos/ to see how conveyor sortation is performed.

21

BoxQc

Cartons sent to QC station are checked for accuracy by opening the carton and scanning each piece. Boxes which pass QC are sent back to QC

station. Boxes which fail are corrected and then sent

back to shipping dock.

Pallet Sortation 22

Cartons are palletized for shipping in this process. If you do not use conveyor sortation in your

warehouse this process becomes primary sortation method.

This process creates pallet while making sure that cartons being put on pallet follow the routing rules. For example, two cartons of same customer will not be mixed if their destination is not same. DCMS provides multiple configurations to support all business scenarios.

After pallets are assembled, they are stored in dock locations and await shipping.

23

Appointment Scheduling

Appointments can be scheduled in DCMS with the carrier over phone, e-mail or fax.

Reduces the risk of delays, lost productivity and chargebacks.

Option to let carriers and suppliers use web-based interface to self-schedule shipments is planned.

Trucker is provided a appointment number which he can quote upon arrival in the warehouse/DC.

24

Guided Truck Loading

As trucker arrives to pick the shipment, he quotes appointment number and shipping department quickly loads the shipment. Guided truck loading guides you to pick these pallets

and ensures that correct pallets are loaded to truck. Loaders enter the appointment number in

ScanToTruck screen. ScanToTruck guides them to the exact location where pallet has been kept.

Export information to ERP

1. As orders are shipped, DCMS automatically uploads the shipping details to the host ERP.

2. ERP processes this information for billing and accounting purposes.

29

User management in DCMS

DCMS has role based access control for restricting system access to authorized users. Roles are created for various job functions. Each user can be assigned single or multiple roles depending upon the business need.

For this demo we will create users, John a supervisor and Alex an operator.

User Alex will be created during demo and he will be a Receiving operator. User John has been pre-created and will do every operation. It will also be demonstrated that operator level user Alex is not able to change advanced DCMS configurations.
