The flow of inventory through the
repository can be divided into three basic processes:
- Receiving items at the repository and making
them available.
- Handling items for internal distribution or
movement or production.
- Picking and shipping items to customers or
other locations.
The Repository Management System is
used to:
- Easily receive the items.
- Handle the items. This includes repacking,
inventory counting, supplying production, or just moving an item for
optimum repository space utilization.
- Pick the items.
- Ship the items.
A
Repository Management System (RMS) is mostly used to manage the storage and the
movement of inventory. The system tracks the movement of every stock item such
the item received, picked, packed and shipped. The RMS is related to Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) is that RMS systems offers optimization of inventory on
the basis of real-time information. Information can be generated to show the
best location for every item to be put based on historical trends and data.
The primary purpose of a RMS is to control the movement and storage of
materials within an operation and process the associated transactions.
Directed picking, directed replenishment, and directed put away are the
key to RMS. The detailed setup and processing within a RMS can vary
significantly from one software vendor to another however the basic logic will
use a combination of item, location, quantity, unit of measure, and order
information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and in what sequence to
perform these operations.
