销售库存管理系统的设计与实现文献翻译Word文件下载.docx

1、学 生 姓 名指 导 教 师 2012年 3月16 日仓库管理系统（WMS）的演变与许多其他软件解决方案是非常相似的。最初的系统用来控制物料在仓库内的流动和贮存，仓库的作用正在延伸到包括轻型制造业，交通运输管理，订单管理，和完整的会计制度中。利用与先前的业务有关的软件，制造资源计划，作为一个比较，材料需求计划（MRP）开始作为一个规划要求，原材料的生产环境的系统。物料需求计划很快演变成以MRP系统，补充调度和容量规划为基础的逻辑制造资源计划（MRPII系统）。最终MRPII系统演变成企业资源规划（ERP），吸收所有的MRPII系统的功能包括充分的财务与客户和供应商管理功能。现在，无论仓库管理系

2、统演变成一个以仓库为中心的ERP系统是一件好事或不可达的辩论。清楚的是，在仓库管理系统，企业资源规划，布局规划要求，交通运输管理系统，供应链计划，高级计划与排程，以及制造执行系统之间扩大重叠功能性只会增加那些寻找软件解决方案业务的公司混乱水平。1 最低限度，一个仓库管理系统应采取下列措施您是否真的需要仓库管理系统？并非每一个仓库需要一个仓库管理系统。当然，任何仓库可受益于其中一些功能，但这些受益是否足以证明管理系统最初的2 声明仓库管理系统将减少库存！仓库管理系统将减少劳动力成本！仓库管理系统将增加存储容量！仓库管理系统将提高客户服务！仓库管理系统将增加库存的准确性！和正在进行的相关费用是正确

3、的？仓库管理系统是大的，复杂的，数据密集型的应用。他们往往需要大量的初始安装，很多系统资源的运行，很多正在进行的数据管理为继续运行。没错，你需要“管理”你的仓库“管理”制度。一般情况下，大规模的行动最终将建立一个新的IS部门用来唯一负责管理仓库管理系统。3 现实实施一个仓库管理系统用来自动的数据收集将可能使你的准确性增加，减少劳动力成本（提供需要维持系统的劳动力少于物品保存在仓库楼需要的劳动力）和更好地来服务客户以降低周期。预期库存减少和增加存储容量的可能性较小。虽然在接收过程中增加了准确性和效率可能降低库存安全水平，但这种降低产生的影响与整体库存水平相比可以忽略不计。控制库存水平批量最主要的

4、因素是多种尺寸，交货时间和需求的变化，仓库管理系统将对任何因素有重大影响是不可能。而且同时仓库管理系统确实的为更多的有组织的存储提供工具，因为这种存储可能会导致更多的存储容量，相对于这种改善您之前的仓库管理系统是多么草率啊。除了劳动效率，决定实施仓库管理系统的决定因素，往往与一些能满足您的客户的需求有更多关联，比如您目前的系统不支持（或不太支持）像先进先出，交叉对接，自动挑选补充，波采摘，多种跟踪，停车场管理，自动数据采集，自动材料处理设备等。4 设置仓库管理系统的设置需求是广泛的，每个项目和地点都必须保持在详细或分组类似项目和地点分类。一个例子，项目详细程度的特点将包括确切尺寸和重量，每个项

5、目在每个单位的项目储备（项目，案件，托盘等），以及信息，如是否可以与其他物品混在一个位置，无论是的最高层次，最大堆叠高度，最高量的位置，危险性分类，半成品或原材料，快与慢动，等。尽管一些行动将需要用这种方式设立每个项目，但大多数业务将有利于创造群体的类似产品。例如，如果你是一个音乐CD分销商，您将创建集团单一CD和双张CD，保持详细的尺寸和重量的资料在组一级，只需要对每个项目附上组代码。您可能会需要对特殊物品保持详细的资料，如盒装套或CD的特别包装。您也可以为地域的不同类型在您的仓库里创造群组。一个例子是，为您用于CD采摘的三种不同大小前瞻性采摘地点建立3个不同群体（小一，二，三）。然后，您可

6、以建立单一的光盘数量，将适合P1，P2和P3的位置，多种双张CD适合在小一，二，小三的位置等。您可能还设立案件的数量，每个CD组光盘数量,货箱的数量和光盘的每个后备存储位置组。如果这听起来很简单，但在现实中很多业务有更多元化的产品组合，将需要更多的系统设置。而且建立产品的物理特性和产品的位置只是蓝图的部分。你设定的使系统知道产品可以适合哪里并且多少产品将满足这个地方已经足够了。您现在需要建立必要的信息，以让系统决定从哪些位置选择，补充，并采集，并在这些事件应该出现这些序列中（记得仓库管理就是“指示”流动）。你分配具体逻辑的的做法使各种组合项目/订单/数量/位置信息将出现。下面我列出一些用于确定

7、实际位置和序列的逻辑位置顺序。这是最简单的逻辑;您只需确定流经你的仓库和为每一个地点分配序列编号。为了挑选这是把您选择的在流经的仓库排序，在采集逻辑将寻求在第一位置的顺序适合的产品。区逻辑。由于把你的储存地点分到区，您可以直接采摘，收集，或补充或特定地区的仓库。自区逻辑唯一指定的一个地区，则需要再加上一些其他类型的逻辑，以确定确切位置在禁区内。固定的位置。逻辑使用预先确定的固定地点，每一项目中分拣，采集 ，和补充。固定地点是一块采摘挑选和个案选择的行动最常用的首要位置，但是，它们也可用于二级存储。随机地点。由于电脑不能真正随机（也不想要他们）的任期随机位置有点误导。随机地点一般指的是产品不会储

8、存在指定的固定地点的地方。如Zone逻辑，您将需要一些额外的逻辑，以确定确切位置。先入先出（FIFO的）。首先指示挑选最古老的库存。最后，先出（LIFO）。我不认为这种逻辑有任何实际应用，直到我的网站访问者发送一封电子邮件，说明自己在国内和海外销售易腐货物的行动。他们为海外客户使用LIFO（因为长期在途中）和为国内客户使用FIFO。挑选到清楚。用最少的人手挑选逻辑指示的地点。这种逻辑是巨大的空间利用率。预留位置。这个是在预约具体地点采集时使用。从申请预留位置将交叉对接，在那里你可以指定一定数量的入境货物转移到具体的举办地点外，或直接到等待出境拖车。最大限度地立方。立方体逻辑中是在WMS系统发现

9、最多的，尽管它很少使用。立方体逻辑基本上使用单位面积计算立方体（立方英寸每单位）。然后比较这个位置的立方体能力，以确定有多少适合。现在，如果这些单位能堆叠成的位置，以填补每立方英寸的空间中的位置，立方体逻辑将工作。由于这很少发生在现实世界，立方体的逻辑往往是不切实际的。10）巩固。查询看是否有一个以现有性质存放相同产品的位置。还可以创造更多的行动，以巩固同类产品存放在多个位置。很多序列。用于采摘或补充，这将使用大量批号或日期，以确定位置，以选择或补充。这是非常常见的逻辑结合多种方法，以确定最佳的位置。例如您可以选择使用挑选到清晰的逻辑内先入先出逻辑当有多个地点以同样的收据的日期。您也可能会根据

10、目前的工作量改变的逻辑。在繁忙时段内您可以选择的逻辑，优化生产力，同时在速度较慢时期您切换到逻辑，优化空间利用率。 Warehouse Management Systems The evolution of warehouse management systems （WMS） is very similar to that of many other software solutions. Initially a system to control movement and storage of materials within a warehouse, the role of WMS is

11、expanding to including light manufacturing, transportation management, order management, and complete accounting systems. To use the grandfather of operations-related software, MRP, as a comparison, material requirements planning （MRP） started as a system for planning raw material requirements in a

12、manufacturing environment. Soon MRP evolved into manufacturing resource planning （MRPII）, which took the basic MRP system and added scheduling and capacity planning logic. Eventually MRPII evolved into enterprise resource planning （ERP）, incorporating all the MRPII functionality with full financials

13、 and customer and vendor management functionality. Now, whether WMS evolving into a warehouse-focused ERP system is a good thing or not is up to debate. What is clear is that the expansion of the overlap in functionality between Warehouse Management Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Distributio

14、n Requirements Planning, Transportation Management Systems, Supply Chain Planning, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, and Manufacturing Execution Systems will only increase the level of confusion among companies looking for software solutions for their operations. 1 Do You Really Need WMS?Not every w

15、arehouse needs a WMS. Certainly any warehouse could benefit from some of the functionality but is the benefit great enough to justify the initial and ongoing costs associated with WMS? Warehouse Management Systems are big, complex, data intensive, applications. They tend to require a lot of initial

16、setup, a lot of system resources to run, and a lot of ongoing data management to continue to run. Thats right, you need to manage your warehouse management system. Often times, large operations will end up creating a new IS department with the sole responsibility of managing the WMS. 2 The Claims:WM

17、S will reduce inventory!WMS will reduce labor costs!WMS will increase storage capacity!WMS will increase customer service!WMS will increase inventory accuracy!3 The Reality:The implementation of a WMS along with automated data collection will likely give you increases in accuracy, reduction in labor

18、 costs （provided the labor required to maintain the system is less than the labor saved on the warehouse floor）, and a greater ability to service the customer by reducing cycle times. Expectations of inventory reduction and increased storage capacity are less likely. While increased accuracy and eff

19、iciencies in the receiving process may reduce the level of safety stock required, the impact of this reduction will likely be negligible in comparison to overall inventory levels. The predominant factors that control inventory levels are lot sizing, lead times, and demand variability. It is unlikely

20、 that a WMS will have a significant impact on any of these factors. And while a WMS certainly provides the tools for more organized storage which may result in increased storage capacity, this improvement will be relative to just how sloppy your pre-WMS processes were. Beyond labor efficiencies, the

21、 determining factors in deciding to implement a WMS tend to be more often associated with the need to do something to service your customers that your current system does not support （or does not support well） such as first-in-first-out, cross-docking, automated pick replenishment, wave picking, lot

22、 tracking, yard management, automated data collection, automated material handling equipment, etc.4 Setup The setup requirements of WMS can be extensive. The characteristics of each item and location must be maintained either at the detail level or by grouping similar items and locations into catego

23、ries. An example of item characteristics at the detail level would include exact dimensions and weight of each item in each unit of measure the item is stocked （each, cases, pallets, etc） as well as information such as whether it can be mixed with other items in a location, whether it is rack able,

24、max stack height, max quantity per location, hazard classifications, finished goods or raw material, fast versus slow mover, etc. Although some operations will need to set up each item this way, most operations will benefit by creating groups of similar products. For example, if you are a distributo

25、r of music CDs you would create groups for single CDs, and double CDs, maintaining the detailed dimension and weight information at the group level and only needing to attach the group code to each item. You would likely need to maintain detailed information on special items such as boxed sets or CD

26、s in special packaging. You would also create groups for the different types of locations within your warehouse. An example would be to create three different groups （P1, P2, P3） for the three different sized forward picking locations you use for your CD picking. You then set up the quantity of sing

27、le CDs that will fit in a P1, P2, and P3 location, quantity of double CDs that fit in a P1, P2, P3 location etc. You would likely also be setting up case quantities, and pallet quantities of each CD group and quantities of cases and pallets per each reserve storage location group. If this sounds sim

28、ple, it iswell sort of. In reality most operations have a much more diverse product mix and will require much more system setup. And setting up the physical characteristics of the product and locations is only part of the picture. You have set up enough so that the system knows where a product can f

29、it and how many will fit in that location. You now need to set up the information needed to let the system decide exactly which location to pick from, replenish from/to, and put away to, and in what sequence these events should occur （remember WMS is all about “directed” movement）. You do this by as

30、signing specific logic to the various combinations of item/order/quantity/location information that will occur. Below I have listed some of the logic used in determining actual locations and sequences. Location Sequence. This is the simplest logic; you simply define a flow through your warehouse and

31、 assign a sequence number to each location. In order picking this is used to sequence your picks to flow through the warehouse, in put away the logic would look for the first location in the sequence in which the product would fit. Zone Logic. By breaking down your storage locations into zones you c

32、an direct picking, put away, or replenishment to or from specific areas of your warehouse. Since zone logic only designates an area, you will need to combine this with some other type of logic to determine exact location within the zone. Fixed Location. Logic uses predetermined fixed locations per item in picking, put away, and replenishment. Fixed locations are most often used as the primary picking location in piece pick and cas
