Each time any product is picked, stored, counted, or moved an entry is automatically made in the ledger. This allows the warehouse manager to immediately isolate any problems and question the person in charge of that operation. The intense operations of a warehouse would unnecessarily burden the mainframe computer servicing the rest of the company. A separate computer is networked, so that warehouse operations are handled in a timely manner, while real-time updates to the mainframe continue. A nightly run is performed automatically by the network, which compares similar data held on the separate systems.
Any discrepancies always point to errors made by operators on either system.
The warehouse manager works closely with the data processing manager to identify and solve these procedural errors. Please include your contact information - name, address, telephone number, and anything else you feel is relevant.
