Warehousing/Inventory

The management of inventory is a vital function for both manufacturing efficiency and customer service.

Inventory in Aware is managed by site with safety levels, lead times and re-order quantities held for each item at each site. Inventory may be sourced from multiple suppliers and or internally from another site or from a manufacturing plant.

Allocation is a major feature of the Aware Enterprise System. All customer orders and work orders will allocate stock required within a user defined window. Thus preventing the stock being used for subsequent orders. A nightly re-allocation program will allocate all orders that come within the allocation window.

There is complete visibility of stock and availability at each site for an item. Drill down features include viewing of all demands and supplies for an item.

All forms of inventory transaction are provided including, scrap recording, adjustments , transfers and transformations (into another product).

Comprehensive stock-take functions enable cycle count as well as wall-to-wall stock-takes.

For lot and serial tracked items stock levels are held by lot and/or serial number at each site. The system provides full upward and downward traceability of batch/lots. Serialised items sold to customers may be tracked for warranty and maintenance purposes.

Inventory is allowed to go negative but all transactions that occur while negative are held for possible re-cost when the next receipt is processed.
