Resource Management

Increasingly complex logistics processes involve a flow of information in day-today activities. To obtain reliable knowledge from these datasets about the use of resources appropriate to requirements in a logistics operation, a large number of logistics coordinators face a significant problem.

For delivery dates to be met, in the material planning, the question of how much resources (employees, forklifts, shelf access equipment, etc.) is required to complete an order for a fixed end date, is posed repeatedly. However, if the resources are only available on a limited basis, it is then a question of how long it would take to process the existing order. The Resource Management enhancement module was specially developed to respond to both problems. The functions are designed for the user to display the information gained using graphically formatted dialogues from complex logistics processes and to simulate the alternatives. The resources are individuals, work centres, installations, equipment and devices which are required to complete defined operations, e.g. picking staff, picking bins or forklifts.
