Materials Replenishment
Stock
outs can be costly to your business, leading to lost revenue and customer
loyalty. Materials replenishment ensures companies maintain enough stock on
hand to fulfill expected customer orders and meet production schedules.
EMA Stores
and Materials Management provides robust Min/Max planning capabilities to
replenish stock from your suppliers, construction sites, manufacturing plants,
or internal stocking locations such as stores, warehouses and distribution
centers. It also allows you to define replenishment policies that set the
minimum and maximum inventory levels for each stocking and item location to
meet required service levels.
Order Fulfillment
Whether
processing customer orders or internal transfers from within your organization,
EMA Stores and Materials Management’s capabilities skillfully manage
fulfillment operations. It orchestrates order fulfillment through the ability
to reserve on-hand or on-order supply, and pick goods using configurable rules
designed to efficiently manage the flow of materials through stores or
warehouses to the staging areas and shipping dock.
Materials
Management leverages Supply Chain Orchestration capabilities to manage complex
fulfillment scenarios such as drop shipping directly from suppliers to your
customer, or back-to-back fulfillment which links inbound shipments to customer
orders while ensuring the designated items cannot be used fulfill other orders.
Back-to back fulfillment is especially critical when shipments need to adhere
to specific schedules and meet high customer satisfaction requirements.
Executing
the perfect order often requires companies to transfer inventory between
internal distribution centers(stores) to satisfy shifting customer demand.
Similarly, it might involve combining stock from several locations to fill an
order comprised of multiple items.
Internal
material requests move inventory across your distribution network based on
specific needs such as customer demand, advanced supply planning, replenishment
needs, back-to back supply requests or requests from internal users. Internal
Material Transfers leverage execution rules to determine the best way to
execute transfers between company locations. EMA Stores and Materials
Management determines whether the requested transfer is an Inventory Transfer
Order to facilitate supply transfers between stocking locations or a Purchase
Order to acquire supply from internal profit centers. Materials Management uses
the same flexible, fulfillment processes used to fulfill customer orders to
manage internal material transfers with precision and speed. Executing the
perfect order also depends on rapid delivery. Consumers expect delivery within
days of placing an order and manufacturers depend on timely delivery to avoid
production delays and lost revenue.
EMA
Materials Management can be intergrated with EMA Cloud Logistics
Management to complete the order-to-fulfill cycle through
transportation planning and execution. Combined, they save time and reduce
costs by streamlining the workload of your operations workforce when releasing,
picking, and packing orders. It also expedites fulfillment and reduces
transportation costs by matching specific orders and required delivery
schedules to carrier selection, load optimization, route planning, and other
variables with customer expectations. After delivery, customers often need to
return goods due to issues like a product recall, failed quality inspection, or
receiving the wrong product.
EMA
Materials Management simplifies the process of returning goods to suppliers to
provide a seamless experience.
