Certified Warehouse Management Professional

Certified Warehouse Management Professional

A warehouse management system (WMS) consists of software and processes that allow organizations to control and administer warehouse operations from the time goods or materials enter a warehouse until they move out.

What does a WMS do?

Warehouses sit at the center of manufacturing and supply chain operations because they hold all of the material used or produced in those processes, from raw materials to finished goods. WMS allows for timely delivery and optimized distribution, leading to increased labor productivity and greater customer satisfaction. It also helps reduce errors and damage in the order fulfillment process. Plus, it prevents your goods from getting lost or stolen during handling.
The purpose of a WMS is to help ensure that goods and materials move through warehouses in the most efficient and cost-effective way. A WMS handles many functions that enable these movements, including inventory tracking, picking, receiving and put away. WMS also provides visibility into an organization’s inventory at any time and location, whether in a facility or in transit.

Where WMS fits in the supply chain

The supply chain can operate only as quickly, accurately and efficiently as warehouse processes permit. A WMS plays a vital role in supply chain management by managing order fulfillment processes, from receiving raw materials to shipping finished goods. It plays a strategic role in the supply chain by enabling inventory distribution, sorting, or cross-docking processes that strive to meet the growing demand of the market.
