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.

shipments from suppliers, outside service providers, or internal facilities,
EMA Cloud Materials Management streamlines inbound operations including
receiving, inspecting, and putting goods away.

policies and agreements with configurable controls such as date and quantity
tolerances while remaining flexible with receipt routings to enable multi-step
receiving allowing warehouse operators to pick up goods at the receiving dock
or inspection areas and put them away in the warehouse or route them to their
final destination.
