Resource management maximizes the efficiency of warehouse processes by:

Facilitating the management and distribution of work via queues

     Enabling the execution of work by resources in a radio frequency (RF) and non-RF environment

Optimizing the selection of warehouse orders for resources requesting work

     Enabling effective monitoring and controlling of resources

Features

Controlled Distribution of Work via Queues

The assignment of resources to queues enables focused management and distribution of work in the warehouse.

For more information, see Queue.

Warehouse Order Execution in RF and Non-RF Environments

Resources can execute work via RF and non-RF transactions.

For more information about RF transactions, see Structure linkStandard RF Functions.

Manual and Automatic Assignment of Warehouse Orders to Resources

Warehouse orders (WOs) can either be manually assigned to a resource by a warehouse manager, or automatically assigned by the system.

For more information, see Assignment of Warehouse Order to Resource.

Optimized Warehouse Order Selection

Resources that require system-guided work are offered the most appropriate WOs. Here a number of factors are taken into consideration, for example, the mode, latest start date (LSD), execution priorities, assigned queues, qualification of resource type, and WO status.

For more information, see Warehouse Order Selection.
