POWERFUL AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS
SAM automates many of the manual procedures that get initiated when a production order is created. Once a production order is entered, the system will create a material pick ticket for a cut or a group of cuts tied to a specific manufacturing site, be it your own plant or a contractor. This pick ticket allows the inventory manager to determine where the raw materials should be pulled to meet the raw material demand.
Once the pick ticket is posted, raw material cases are scanned into a shipping case using a wireless barcode scanner (PDL), the system creates a shipment with all the proper shipping documentation: Bill of Lading, Packing Ship, Commercial Invoice, Value Statement, user defined documents, and automatically transfers the inventory to the contractor/plant location. Upon delivery of the materials, the contractor/plant receives the materials, which automatically transfers the goods from in-transit into their inventory. Once the raw material inventory is consumed the contractor/plant connects via the Internet through a filter that allows them to consume only their inventory for their cuts providing a perpetual inventory at their site.
Once the finished goods inventory is produced and received, finished goods inventory case labels can be printed for the contractor/internal plant to affix to the cases to be received into the distribution center.
