End-to-end WMS management in spare-parts warehouse

At Delphi Technologies' spare-parts warehouse in Menderes (Izmir), a warehouse management system (WMS) was implemented to manage warehouse operations.

The project aimed to manage core warehouse processes such as part put-away, customer order picking, and shelf balance in a digital and traceable manner.

Needs / Problems

Error and inconsistency risk in manual warehouse management

Part put-away, order picking, and stock/shelf balance tracking had to be reliable and traceable. Manual flows created high operational risk.

  • 01Wrong Put-awayManual handling increased the risk of placing parts in wrong locations.
  • 02Incorrect Order PickingManual customer order picking could lead to fulfillment accuracy issues.
  • 03Stock InconsistencyManual stock and shelf-balance tracking struggled to provide up-to-date reliable data.
Solution

Real-time warehouse operations with WMS and handheld terminals

An end-to-end WMS was deployed for warehouse processes. While part put-away, picking, and shelf-balance operations were managed by the system, field operations were executed in real time via handheld terminal applications and fully recorded.

01

WMS Deployment

A central warehouse management system was commissioned to control process flow.

02

Put-away Management

Inbound and put-away steps were digitally managed with system rules.

03

Order Picking Operations

Customer orders were picked through handheld devices with operational validation.

04

Shelf Balance and Logging

Shelf/stock balance movements were tracked in real time and every warehouse move was recorded.

Technology / Equipment Used

WMS and mobile field applications

SOFTWARE

WMS Application

Central application layer managing warehouse process rules, locations, and operational flows.

FIELD

Handheld Terminal Application

Mobile operational tool used for put-away, picking, and shelf-balance tasks in the warehouse.

MONITORING

Real-Time Movement Logging

Operational tracking structure that records every movement in the warehouse instantly.

Integrations

Enterprise synchronization of warehouse data with SAP

The system operates integrated with SAP; part, order, and stock data are shared with SAP so warehouse movements and shelf balance stay synchronized with the enterprise system and are centrally managed.

SAP Part and Order DataPart and order data are shared bi-directionally with SAP to improve warehouse execution accuracy.
Stock SynchronizationStock and shelf-balance movements are kept up to date with enterprise systems and centrally controlled.
Benefits / Results

Speed, accuracy, and traceability in warehouse operations

Digital and Traceable Processes

Put-away, order picking, and shelf-balance workflows became digital and traceable.

Reduced Error Risk

Risks of wrong placement, incorrect picking, and stock inconsistency were reduced.

Operational Efficiency

Real-time and accurate field execution increased warehouse speed and correctness.
