PST CLC Mitsui-Soko focuses on evaluating the efficiency of its logistics centres through relevant data. In parallel with the transition to a unified WMS system, so-called dashboards that include data from logistics centres are being created. They should be actively used from the end of the calendar year at the latest. Logistics centre managers and company management will, for example, be able to evaluate productivity in specific warehouses for the previous day or any other defined period. This management tool will ultimately lead to savings.
Accurate data that can be accessed online will be used to make the right management decisions. “Thanks to the standardisation of the WMS, logistics centre managers will have a dashboard in front of them on the screen, through which they can easily see the development of the monitored indicators over a defined period,” says Petr Kotora, Director of Logistics at PST CLC Mitsui-Soko.
Key warehouse data on one screen
He adds that similar dashboards will be available to PST CLC Mitsui-Soko management. “It will allow us to monitor and evaluate the necessary data across all logistics centres. It is not a solution to call the shift managers of the logistics centres and ask them every morning about the status. In short, we can see key data from all centres on one screen,” explains Petr Kotora.
Online data for relevant decision-making
He adds: “The data will show, for example, how many hours were invested in manipulating a certain number of units in the logistics centre on the previous day. When the manager sees that the number of units is decreasing, the number of working hours spent must naturally decrease along with it. The manager should therefore make relevant decisions based on this, for example, to reduce or increase the number of temporary workers, depending on the real needs in the warehouses.”
Dashboards will increase the efficiency of any workplace
Logistics centre managers already react to warehouse events by reducing or increasing staff, but now everything will be evaluated online based on accurate data. PST CLC Mitsui-Soko
