New Update

Idle inventory, be it of raw materials or finished goods, is dreaded by all

shop floor supervisors. One of the major reasons for this is the lack of

co-ordination amongst the various blocks of the logistics chain-right from the

procurement of raw materials to delivery of finished goods. Process automation

goes a long way in reducing the mess by arming supervisors with information at

all critical checkpoints.

The company handles more than 200 trucks a day and controlling their

whereabouts was a nightmare. So, it decided to automate its logistics operations

through a tighter coupling with the already deployed SAP ERP backbone and added

facilities such as sending SMSes to transporters to send trucks, including

transporter freight contract management, road permit management indents.

The solution integrates complex packages such as SAP, APO, DOMINO and SMS

gateways. An important benefit has been the immaculate control over the truck

ordering process and in minimizing the hold time of the vehicle inside the

factory. Another benefit has been the automation of Stock Transfer Orders and

Delivery Challan generation.
