Automation of flow controls

Our service

For companies that manufacture and distribute products and goods, OpossumNet provides operational and executive guidance for improving the efficiency of the supply chain: i.e. identifying the most efficient ways for moving, storing and distributing goods so as to reduce logistics costs, improve quality and limit the negative impact of static inventory.  
 
In advising on best practices and recommending systems, OpossumNet begins with an analysis of the processes behind goods movement flows.  
 
The benefits

• Reduced warehousing space
• Reduction of inventories
• The conversion of stocking warehouses into stock picking centres
• A reduction in the number of external warehouses
• Lower  transfer costs
• Lower shipment management costs

If, following an analysis of the situation, the flows are found to have a particularly high volume or to be so complex as to require additional support for the optimization of the work, the “Material Flow Control System” may need to be brought into play. This is a system for the management of warehouse transfers that occupies an intermediate position between warehouse management (i.e. goods placement and the management of incoming and outgoing materials) and the physical movement of the materials (collections and deposits).
