RedPrairie Announces Advanced Inventory Methods for Chemical and Other Process Manufacturing Companies
New Inventory Management Advances Improve the Measuring and Tracking of Fluids, Powders, and Other Raw Materials through the Supply Chain
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, announced today that it has rolled out new efficiencies for measuring fluids, powders and other variable weighted materials with its warehouse management solution. The new efficiencies in the areas of receiving, picking, cycle counting, allocating and inventory movements, allow companies – specifically those in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries – greater ease in moving and tracking their raw material inventory from plant storage through the manufacturing process, and ultimately as it is used to create the finished product.
According to Jeff Doyle, Director of Logistics and Material Control for Zotos International, Inc., a leader in the professional beauty industry, “Our business depends on our ability to manage the variable weights of our component inventory efficiently. Through our partnership with RedPrairie, we’ve been able to deliver better results to our business.”
Another benefit of the new inventory management advances is improved brand protection in the event of a recall. RedPrairie has the ability to trace the genealogy of raw materials back to the source by tracking the lot codes and manufacturing dates of each bill of material component used in the manufacturing process.
Tom Kozenski, Vice President of Product Strategy for RedPrairie states, “If your business needs to manage raw materials for process manufacturing operations, your warehouse management solution needs to track fluids and variable weights as well as it tracks the barrels and tubs they are stored in. The inventory management requirements can’t be solved with a simple “pallet/case” WMS solution. RedPrairie, in its ongoing commitment to the process manufacturing industries, now offers improved inventory tracking methods that allow companies in these industries greater flexibility and visibility of raw materials and improved brand protection.”
