How to get Work-in-Process (WIP) inventory under control?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Work-in-process (WIP) inventory ties up capital and extends production lead times. To keep it under control and ensure a smooth material flow, you must know the exact location of every part within the facility. When even experienced employees start losing track, it is time to implement a suitable software solution. A common issue, however, is that deploying such a solution often takes an incredibly long time. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Labeling of positions<\/strong> where material and parts will be temporarily stored \u2013 warehouses or storage areas (whether racks or floor spaces). Ideally, these labels should include barcodes or QR codes. In this case, scanners can be used during put-away and picking to make the entire process more efficient.<\/p>

A list of materials and parts<\/strong> that will be located in the intermediate storage areas. Usually, numbers, barcodes, or QR codes are used, allowing operators to uniquely identify individual items.<\/p>

Scanners<\/strong> to increase the efficiency and reliability of the entire process. Ideally, wearable hand scanners that can be easily used during regular work \u2013 SMART gloves \u2013 iGrow Network. However, you can also perform recording manually.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Standard WMS installation is carried out directly within the company’s IT infrastructure. To ensure the testing process is fast and bypasses typically lengthy approval procedures, WMS testing is conducted as a web service.<\/p>

After installation and securing the necessary access, all required settings and configurations are completed. With high-quality input data, the entire process can be finalized within 24 hours.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once everything is configured, you enter the testing phase \u2013 this serves to verify the correct functionality of the system according to your expectations.<\/p>

To launch live operations, it is then only necessary to train users on how to operate the WMS. In addition to the put-away and picking processes, users are also trained in performing inventories and system corrections (in case someone fails to follow agreed procedures and performs a put-away or pick without the required record in the WMS).<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After completing the previous steps, you will have a fully functional WMS system at your disposal. Since your users are already trained, nothing prevents daily use in live operations. You will gain precise control over work-in-process inventory, minimize time lost searching for required items, and eliminate errors caused by the incorrect identification of parts.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
