Solvo.WMS Resource Planning System

The resource planning module is used for resource utilization planning for a certain period, when the completion of specific tasks is required within a certain timeframe allows scheduling of the following resources: receiver, sorter, loader, stacker.

Functions

Identification of optimal plan parameters, defining the optimal number of resources and tasks, the relationship between them, the time at which the resources were used or when tasks were completed. For instance:

calculation of the time that an order will be processed;
calculation of dispatch/delivery dock use;
calculation of time it takes to complete an order pool;
balancing of resource utilization;
generation of intermediate data for the management system: plans, describing the actions of each member of staff and transporter machinery at any moment; or plans, outlining the order and time of global actions.

Advantages

Tailoring the scope of application to suit the client's requirements.
Planning setup using parameters designed to balance quality and speed of planning.

Output

Quantitative assessment of the resources required and four types of graphic plans:

allocation of resources by time;
allocation of operations by time;
baseline operations (unallocated by resources);
effectiveness of resource utilization.
