Implementation of a digital warehouse management system

Vpeljava digitalnega sistema vodenja skladišča v podjetje pomeni uvedbo programske opreme, s katero se računalniško vodi vse procese v podjetju. Učinkovitost podjetja temelji na poznavanju natančne zaloge blaga, točne lokacije izdelkov in organiziranega ter optimalnega poteka skladiščnih procesov. Vse to je možno doseči brez digitalizacije, vendar je zaradi velikosti podjetja to postalo neizvedljivo, saj privede do problemov, ki jih lahko rešimo z vpeljavo sistema za digitalno vodenje skladišča. V diplomskem delu je predstavljena in opisana vpeljava digitalnega sistema vodenja skladišča v podjetju. Predstavljeni so skladiščni prostori, trenutni potek skladiščnih procesov in problemi, s katerimi se srečuje podjetje. Predstavljen je predlog novega načina, izbrana optimalna tehnologija, ustrezna oprema, opisan novi potek dela skladiščnih procesov in izmerjeno, da se z uvedbo sistema časovno prihrani pri izvajanju dela. Z izračunom mesečnega prihranka, donosnosti naložbe in dobe vračanja je ugotovljeno, da je investicija v sistem upravičena.The implementation of a digital warehouse management system into a company brings about the use of software for the purpose of managing all the processes in the company.
