A component of the SAP Logistics Execution System that will optimize the task execution and resource deployment in your Warehouse.
In short, TRM provides cost savings and improves your partner relationships by optimizing your supply chain management:
- TRM breaks down material movements to a task and resource level and optimizes the sequence in which they are executed.
- Ensures that the right task is completed by the best resource at the most optimal time.
- TRM helps you to manage your warehouse processes more efficiently because it achieves an unparalleled degree of process visibility within the system by tracking any activity performed on the warehouse floor.
- TRM uses a systemic model of the warehouse’s physical layout to deploy resources according to the actual workload, the resource’s qualifications and the current geographic positions of the resources.
- Cost savings by deploying your resources more efficiently will optimize your material flow processes and result in a cost reduction.
- Does not require the addition of new software, middleware or license fees.
- Leverages standard SAP functionality and a seamless integration with Warehouse Management and all other modules.
Solution Functionality
Upon implementation of the TRM, you will have the ability to:
- Bundling tasks when a group of them must be handled by one and the same resource.
- Optimizing the assignment of tasks by using priority rules. Priority rules can be build based on a predecessors’ priority (e.g. rush order), priority for a task type (e.g. pick for outbound over replenishment), TRM route priority and many more.
- Taking several factors in consideration like physical structure of your warehouse, availability of resources, weight and priority, location and length of travel when executing your orders.
- Considering the costs of an available resource versus the priority of a given task.
- Interleaving: You can have the system analyze the current position of any of your resources when assigning a new task. This way you avoid empty ways.
- You can build Value Added Services like labeling, pricing, packaging etc. in the routing of the movement of the material.
- Comprehensive Real-time Controls: Analyze each event in the warehouse and adjust task assignments when required.
