Manage Warehouse Tasks Planning
Explanation
This activity is used to manage and plan a warehouse task by using multiple filtrations and also to assign or
reassign a worker or a worker group. It is also possible for the planner to look at the current and future
work load and resource availability balance, as well as ways of making quick changes to the system in order to
regain a convenient work load or resource availability balance. This includes both very radical mass changes and
small ad hoc changes to both basic data and the current set of open warehouse tasks.
In the Warehouse Manager Task Planning page the following activities can be performed:
- If you select the Assigned option in the Assignment section, the Worker ID and Worker
Group fields will be enabled and you can enter the required ID of the worker or the worker group.
- If you wish to filter by the location group, enter the required location group using the List of Values in
the Location Group fieled in the header area.
- If you need to change the status of tasks: Select the required task ID from the list items, open the list
item context menu and select Plan, Release, Start, Complete, Park or Restart options
according to your requirement.
- If you need more information about a warehouse task, right-click and then click Warehouse Task
option.
- The manager can prioritize the warehouse tasks as he wish by setting an operative priority in the
Operative Priority column.
- If you need to assign or reassign a worker group to a specific task, select the required task(s) from the
list items, open the list item context menu and select Assign/Reassign Worker Group option.
- If you need to assign or reassign a worker to a specific task, select the required task(s) from the list
items, open the list item context menu and select Assign/Reassign Worker option.
If you want to see the current work load and resource situation, use the Workload per Location Group page
or the Workload per Location Group Graph page. if you want to see the information graphically. Select
the Site, Task Type, and Location Group that you want to see in
the header of the page. In the lower part of the page, you will now see the tasks that are waiting to be executed,
together with the work resources.
Prerequisites
- The warehouse workers and worker groups must have been entered with the correct setup of task types, location
groups, and efficiency rates in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker tab.
- Warehouse tasks for the current site must not have been generated, closed, or canceled.
- Stock should not be frozen for counting.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- Desired information will be retrieved as per selected filter criteria.
- A warehouse worker or worker group will be assigned or re-assigned.
- If the planner makes any changes to the warehouse work or to the warehouse task, this will affect the work
load in some way. He might change the time that a worker spends on a specific task type so that the available
resources increase for this task type. He could change the requested date finished for a task in order to re-plan
it in time.
- The changes that affect the work load or resource situation are displayed in Workload per Location
Group or in Workload per Location Group Graph.
