Needs

In 2000-2001, Prisma's management decided to improve some aspects of the logistics process to improve the organization and management of all logistics flows handled in its warehouses: goods entry, storage, internal handling, picking and inventory, to improve the service offered to its customers.

GOALS

The goals of the restructuring project were:

increased performance;
security of inventories;
traceability of flows; and
seasonality management
sample management

management of accessories
elimination of the final control phase;
decrease in errors;
improved customer service
increased accuracy and efficiency

After careful evaluation, Prisma decided to implement Replica Sistemi's StockSystem solution in the standard version with radio frequency terminals.

The execution of operations in the warehouse is then entrusted to the RF system, which enables real-time transmission of data to the warehouse management system. Logistics operators work efficiently using RF (Radiofrequency) terminals interfaced with remote Access Point repeaters.

Hand-held Hardware: 25 terminals Honeywell 9951/9951 and 10 terminals Motorola MC9090

Verification tests of each individual function on an updated DB;In collaboration with the Replica Sistemi project manager, all the analyses were made regarding warehouse layout, types of materials, incoming and storage flows, pickup and shipping flows and integration with the central information system.

The analysis project was structured by identifying a figure within the company who, together with the Replica Sistemi project manager, carried out:

meetings with warehouse operators (especially in the last month before installation);
identified the start date.

Then the StockSystem software and RF terminals were installed, testing was done and operators were trained .

StockSystem manages all activities related to the handling of goods: from when they enter to when they leave, meeting all needs, particularly those of the footwear sector in which Prisma has numerous references, among the most prestigious brands.

Thus, the following processes are managed through StockSystem: goods receipt, storage, internal handling, material picking, revolving inventory, quality control, returns management and shipping.
