    The latest version of Accellos One Warehouse has significantly enhanced slotting capabilities, including integration to Accellos One Slot!

    Monday, April 5th, 2010

    If your warehouse is like most in the distribution world, your largest operating expense is labor.  And of these labor costs, your biggest expense is picking.  An incremental improvement in the picking process can lead to thousands of dollars on your bottom line.

    The Accellos One Warehouse slotting functionality gives you the ability to
    optimize both the location of your products in the warehouse and the distance that your warehouse workers have to travel to pick you high velocity items.  The incremental Slotting report in Accellos One Warehouse identifies “pairs” that can be “swapped” to improve picking productivity (by locating high velocity items in the optimal pick bins).  The dispatcher can use this report to issue re-slotting requests which populate a new Directed Move task queue.

    Accellos One Slot is an affordable suite of tools designed to maximize the
    overall performance of your warehouse.  It helps to answer the questions of how much, how fast, where, when and why you require facilities and staff in the warehouse.  The integrated solution automatically populates the Accellos One Warehouse Directed Move task queue with slotting requests.  The net result is higher productivity, better utilization of available rack space and increased throughput in your warehouse.

    Accellos One Warehouse has introduced Labor Standards for Performance tracking and Resource Planning!

    Monday, March 29th, 2010

    If your warehouse has ever struggled to meet your service level commitments because you don’t have the tools necessary to accurately manage resources, Accellos One Warehouse can help.

    Starting in Version 6.2 you can now define labor standards for picking,
    receiving, materials handling, and cycle counting.  Standards that can be
    defined include:
    * Expected number of sales orders, lines, units picked per hour
    * Expected number of purchase orders, lines, units received per hour
    * Expected number of direct moves per hour
    * Expected number of replenishments per hour
    * Expected number of cycle counts per hour

    The labor standards defined for Picking and Receiving are used to forecast the
    labor requirements for Sales Orders and Purchase orders.  Labor estimates are integrated directly into the Sales Order and Purchase Order grids, showing how much labor is required for each group of orders based on the standards YOU define.  These estimates let you plan resources well in advance of required shipping dates which can significantly reduce the chances of canceled orders or compliance fines for missed shipments.
