Maximising distribution centre performance means more than automating
pick, pack and ship. It
requires optimising and interleaving all
distribution functions to eliminate tasks and improve
productivity. It also
requires extending optimisation beyond traditional warehousing functions to
provide a complete solution for all distribution
needs.
Task Optimisation
RedPrairie's Distribution Management solutions, anchored by
DLx?Warehouse the industry-leading warehouse management
system,
drive maximum productivity, cost savings and throughput with the
industry's most comprehensive task interleaving and optimisation functionality.
This task optimisation is integral to all distribution processing, creating a
unique approach that drives the greatest savings, from raw materials,
work-in-process management and finished goods processing, to postponement and
value-added-services. Thus, real value and competitive advantage are created not
just by automating work, but by optimising every step of the distribution
process.
