5、u.jo Abstract This study investigates the impact of a warehouse management system on supply chain performance that provides less resources effort, more efficient, and reliable inventory management system. The supply ch

6、ain procedures carried out in the warehouse were reviewed before customizing a software that can handle the necessary transactions. The software was tested for enhancing the work flow and providing a timely and efficien

7、t handling. Data was collected from the warehouse of a leading telecommunications service provider in Jordan. Furthermore, the facility layout was studied and we introduced a production station within the warehouse, wh

8、ich resulted in better space optimization/utilization of the warehouse. The production station consists of three steps: bundling, labelling, and repackaging. The system handles three phases of product lifecycle: receiv

9、ing, processing, and distribution of SIM and prepaid scratch cards. Each phase of the product lifecycle was discussed in detail and the process/procedure gaps were identified. This work can serve both as a practical gui

10、de and industrial example for some researchers to compare the software inventory management system with the traditional manual system in the telecommunications sector in Jordan. It also highlights the gap between theor

11、y and practice; to motivate researchers to develop and customize new systems for mitigating supply chain disruptions. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. Peer-review under responsibility of the Scientif

13、oach for every warehouse. An automated warehousing system provides less effort, more efficient, and reliable results compared to manual handled system. WMS is designed to help reduce costs through effective warehouse

14、 processes [1]. The WMS granule provides functionality for handling advanced warehouse processes that involve so called zones and bins, directed picks and put-away., as well as automated data capture systems. To perfo

15、rm directed pick and put away, it is necessary to divide the warehouse into zones and bins. A zone could be a receiving zone or a stocking zone, and each zone can consist of one or several bins [1]. This paper is bas

16、ed on a telecommunication company. It has a small warehouse where only two types of scratch cards and simcards are stored as safety stock and handled/distributed to dealers. The previous WMS status include the process

17、 from receiving the goods to product dispatching to dealers, were conducted using manual entry excel sheets. The goal of this work is to automate the warehouse management system, along with implementing a mini-size pr

18、oduction line for product labeling within warehouse. The need for automating the warehouse arises from the fact that manual handling may cause human errors which may affect the warehouse utilization [2]. In order to a

19、utomate the process, a thorough study on the system should be conducted. The first step towards an automated warehousing system is identifying and reengineering the processes and procedures carried out in the wareho

20、use, followed by identifying the processes that could be automated. Modeling the business processes and workflows helps seeing the process as a whole. Business Process Modelling and Notation (BPMN) would be a feasibl

21、e solution for this situation since the primary goal of BPMN is to provide a notation that is easily understood by all users within the organization. Basically BPMN is a method of illustrating business processes in th

23、cientific committee of 48th CIRP Conference on MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS - CIRP CMS 2015570 Anas M. Atieh et al. / Procedia CIRP 41 ( 2016 ) 568 – 572 was connected to one of the local database files; in this case t

24、he database was connected to SQL Server Express database files (.mdf). Figure 2, shows a sample of a table in the system, which has a primary key with few rows of: Username, Action Type, Action Date and Serial Fro

25、m To, where each row has a certain data type. The Username and Action Type rows correspond to records in other tables; they are foreign keys and have the same data type as the primary key of the reference table. In or

26、der to set the primary key, the following code must be written: CONSTRAINT Fk_ActionType FOREIGN KEY (ActionType) REFERENCES Actions (Id), FK_ActionType Sets the name of the foreign key ActionType The name of the

27、 column that the foreign key represents Actions To which table it refers to Id Primary key of the reference table Fig. 2 Log table sample After creating all the required tables, along with its primary and foreign key

28、s, a relationship between the tables was established as shown in fig.3. The next step after creating the foreign keys is to populate the tables with data. Then it was found that transforming the software into a web ba

29、sed application was more appropriate. A web application provides an interface to the existing database which was created earlier. A web application can be generated by using a combination of the new ASP.NET Web Appl

30、ication, MVC template and Entity framework 6. Fig.3 Relationships between tables After creating the web application, the data models and the codes were generated. These codes provide standard data operations for the m

31、odel classes. The generated code provides a good starting point for an application but it does not necessarily provide all of the functionality that is required in the application [7]. Therefore the programming stage

32、was needed; in order to customize the code to meet the particular requirements of our project and to make it more efficient, by using ASP.NET as a computer programming language. 2.2 Labelling Line This part consists o

33、f two main actions, the machinery and the manual labor. Enhancement to WMS can be obtained by studies on facility layout, time and motion studies and cost analysis. The machinery part is all about the selection of an

34、 Barcode printer, there are a number of barcode printing technologies, we selected a Thermal based barcode printers because compared to other printers they require less maintenance, have less expensive media, and pri

35、nt faster while maintaining excellent print quality. The next concern was what type of thermal printer we should choose; the biggest difference between them is how heavy of a print volume they can handle, so we needed

36、 to choose one with a heavy print volume a one that will print from a couple thousand labels per day. Once we knew what type of thermal printer we needed, the next big concern is what print method we were going to us

37、e, Thermal printers are capable of printing in two different ways - direct thermal (DT) and thermal transfer (TT), depending on how long we needed the label to last and the material it's made of, we have found tha

38、t the thermal transfer is more effective our application The Manual Labor part: This part consists basically of three main processes in which the labeling process will occur: ? Unpacking and Arranging ? Labeling and

39、Inspection ? Packing The first manual labor step is that an operator should unpack a specified number of simcards and arrange them on the workstation to start working on them. After performing a time and motion study

40、, we have found that the best method to unpack the box of simcards would be by arranging them on the workstation. The first simcard, having the newest serial number should be the furthest away from the labeling and in
