During this webinar, we covered the following points:

 

I - A 360° view of all warehouse activities

SAP S4HANA EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) is a powerful solution for comprehensive, integrated management of warehouse activities. It stands out for its exhaustive approach, requiring a 360° view of all logistics operations.

 

✅ Radio frequency: an essential element in the implementation of SAP S4HANA EWM.

It enables real-time communication between operators and the system, optimising the management of goods flows. Thanks to mobile terminals and RFID scanners, inventory, receipt and dispatch operations are carried out more quickly and accurately, reducing human error and speeding up decision-making.

 

Modelling the warehouse structure is another key aspect.

SAP S4HANA EWM can faithfully reproduce the physical organisation of the warehouse, including storage areas, aisles and bays. This detailed modelling makes it easier to manage stocks, monitor available locations and optimise space, ensuring greater productivity and maximum use of resources.

 

The solution stands out for its ability to implement complex processes

SAP S4HANA EWM is designed to manage sophisticated operations such as cross-docking, returns management and real-time order tracking. These processes require perfect coordination between the various warehouse activities and the flexibility to respond quickly to changes, which in turn requires a global and continuous view of operations.

 

II -  The need for the an integrated project

Implementing SAP S4HANA EWM requires strategic choices and a coherent integration of several elements to ensure the success of the project.

 

Good use of mobility tools is essential, because optimising warehouse flows relies on the effective use of mobile devices such as radio frequency terminals and scanners. These tools enable operators to work in real time and streamline tasks, boosting productivity and accuracy.

 

Optimised user terminals are also essential. They must be adapted to the specific needs of warehouses in terms of robustness, ergonomics and connectivity, to ensure smooth and efficient use in an often demanding industrial environment. Optimising terminals helps to reduce task execution times and potential errors.

 

Lastly, well-managed change management is crucial to support teams in adopting new processes. SAP S4HANA EWM often introduces significant changes to working methods, requiring clear communication, appropriate training and ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition and minimise resistance to change.
