Initial situation

Together with LogiPlus, our customer DAW SE introduced SAP EWM as warehouse management software at a total of 15 locations in Sweden, Austria and at its headquarters in Ober-Ramstadt.

As Europe’s largest private manufacturer of building paints and thermal insulation, optimised and automated intralogistics processes are essential for efficient warehouse management.

Objectives

In the course of optimising the warehouse management processes by introducing SAP EWM, the general goal was to make them as efficient as possible. The main focus here was on

Excursus from practice: Documentary processes - source of error number 1

Paper-based picking causes many disadvantages...

The customer orders – and expects fast delivery. That is now the rule. But a lot of time is often lost in the warehouse. Whether through manual processes, which take considerably longer than automated processes and also lead to significantly more errors. Or due to media disruptions caused by the different systems used in day-to-day operations. And last but not least, due to long walking distances.

What does it often look like in practice? The warehouse employee first goes to the office, where he picks up tons of slips of paper for order picking. Then he goes back to the warehouse and starts picking the goods. And as soon as all the paperwork has been processed, he brings it back to the office – often at the end of the day. The responsible employee in the office then starts to manually enter the data in the SAP system.

...which can be avoided by mobile data collection in the warehouse.

Mobile data capture, e.g. with scanners, pick-by-vision or pick-by-voice leads to faster processes, avoids unnecessary media disruptions and massively reduces the error rate.

Our add-on LP EasyClient add-on offers many other quality assurance options. For example, the photo capture feature with upload to the SAP system enables the pictorial documentation of defective deliveries at goods receipt, allowing complaints to be processed more efficiently. And for outgoing goods, legally required measures for securing the load can be documented in the SAP system.
