Cincinnati, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/19/2010 -- QC Software (http://www.qcsoftware.com) is the leading provider of Tier 1 warehouse control systems to the warehousing and distribution industries. Since 1996, QC Software, utilizing state of the art technology combined with extensive research, development, and rigorous testing, has developed the QC Enterprise suite of products. Designed to be modular in nature, easily configurable, and platform independent, this highly scalable solution satisfies the needs of any size warehouse. Beyond the DSA, QC Software also has a professional affiliation with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, the Warehousing Education and Research Council, and Material Handling Industry of America.
According to Rich Hite, CEO of Ohio-based, QC Software, “It occurred to me that when a manager does not have the correct tools/reports to see what is going on, he is being blind sided.”
Hite went on to detail specific scenarios that compromise the effectiveness of a warehouse.
1. A warehouse manager believes the warehouse has the equipment (capacity) to make deliveries but it does not.
2. Why does Pick Module A always outperform B? Without the correct report, the warehouse manager is often blind sided.
3. Why are one individual’s pick rates always higher in Module A?
“These facts and data can answer important questions about efficiency, effectiveness, and direct warehouse managers to specific corrective actions. Without seeing these data, there will be countless times throughout the pick, sorting, and packing process where results will become unpredictable,” notes Hite.
Too many warehouses managers are a victim of supply and demand. There was a much bigger demand than planned. These types of supply chain issues can be handled most efficiently with a warehouse control system. After the fact distribution centers are scrambling to coordinate production and shipping; avoid this type of crisis approach reduces costs including labor, production, accelerated shipping, packing errors and shipping errors.
