Over the last 10 years, The Progress Group has actively been reviewing the Warehouse Management Systems market place and performing dozens of WMS selection and implementation projects. To help expedite the gathering of requirements for these projects, we have developed a list of warehouse management system features which we call the Functional Analysis Sheets, i.e. FAS/WM.
This list, consisting of hundreds of questions, is used by our consultants to inventory the system needs of each major area of a client’s warehouse. We then quickly turn the prioritized list of client responses into a Request for Information (RFI) that gets sent to vendors to bid on a project.
Now for the first time you can use this same refined list of questions to help get your project done quicker and to perform a more comprehensive inventory of your needs. TPG is making this list available at no charge.
Provide us a little information to Get instant access to this TPG whitepaper and FAS/WM
What is FAS/WM?
Simply, this tool is a spreadsheet that reflects what we have learned warehouse management systems can do in the following functional areas:
- Pre-Receiving / Dock-Appointment
- Receiving
- Putaway
- Returns Processing
- Order Download / Cartonization
- Order Routing
- Wave Planning / Inventory Allocation
- Replenishment
- Picking
- Packing
- Shipping
- Task Management / Interleaving
- Inventory Management
- Yard Management
- Reporting
- Value Added Services and WIP
- Interfaces to Material Handling Equipment
Through vendor demonstrations, reading user manuals and assessing home grown WMS systems, we have collected over 700 WMS features in the above areas that we ask about on this spreadsheet.
In addition to the spreadsheet we will provide you a twenty page user manual for FAS/WM that describes how to use the spreadsheet to identify a vendor.
