Warehouse ChallengeManagement - Systems and Technologies

Learning Results

Learning objectives involve analyzing the principles of management of logistics centers, from a perspective of theirdigital transformation and managing this change based on a technological paradigm based on new informationtechnologies, in particular on warehouse management systems, whether or not included in a single integrated ERPmanagement system. Warehouse management is complex, with thousands of unique item codes with thousands ofunits stored in inventory. It is intended to address the main sub-processes taking place in the facilities, such asreceiving, separating and dispatching items, with synchronization between them. Technologies to track and managethe operation and integrations with other autonomous systems will be discussed. It is intended to exercisefunctionalities of a warehouse management system in practice and design a solution for a given organization.Challenges and opportunities of information systems and technologies in warehouse management will be discussed.
