The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis presents the current operations in the finished goods warehouse at Imerys Fused Minerals (hereinafter Imerys). Through the analysis and examination of existing operations, solutions will be formulated that will modernise and optimise warehousing. ** Warehouse operations** are one of the very important functions in a company, as for finished goods they represent a bridge of time and space between production itself and dispatch to customers. In ** the first part** of the diploma thesis, warehousing will be defined from a theoretical perspective, which means that the theoretical foundations of warehousing, types of warehouses and warehouse functions will be presented. The diploma thesis concludes with findings and a comparative analysis between current and ** modernised warehousing** of finished goods ** at Imerys.**
Problem
The diploma thesis presents the current operations in the finished goods warehouse at Imerys Fused Minerals (hereinafter Imerys). Through the analysis and examination of existing operations, solutions will be formulated that will modernise and optimise warehousing. ** Warehouse operations** are one of the very important functions in a company, as for finished goods they represent a bridge of time and space between production itself and dispatch to customers. In ** the first part** of the diploma thesis, warehousing will be defined from a theoretical perspective, which means that the theoretical foundations of warehousing, types of warehouses and warehouse functions will be presented.
The continuation of the diploma thesis will present the warehousing of finished goods at Imerys. Warehouse operations at the company in question are carried out in a very old-fashioned, completely analogue manner. Finished goods inventory, material batch numbers, stocktaking and other warehouse functions are performed manually, without any support from information technology. Such a method makes work difficult, many different manual records are required, the location of finished goods in the warehouse is not defined, and the consequence of the above is also that errors in goods dispatch occur not infrequently, which the company in today's times cannot afford due to competition.
Finally, such a method of work is quite complicated and also has a negative impact on the working climate in the department in question. In the second part of the diploma thesis, the modernisation of warehouse operations will be presented, namely through the introduction of the EAN system, the introduction of a computer connection between the warehouse and other departments of the company, and the warehouse programme ** WMS**. The connection between the employment of new staff and modernisation will also be justified.
Results
