Slow updating of the host system with the new items. Inability to promptly locate parts for support of work orders or shipping. Maintaining accurate inventory counts to minimize on hand inventory levels. Ever increasing cost and time cycle in the taking of physical inventory. Resources inefficiently used due to lack of real-time access to information.
Time cards rely on recall, filling out forms, and keyboard entry.
Data for labor tracking is not captured as it occurs. Wrong parts are picked from the wrong location. Key punching and manual use of pick sheets is slow and error prone. Substitutions and omissions go undocumented. Incomplete orders are delayed or misplaced.
