STL Warehousing

WMS project management is often perceived as a task that can be shared as part of a normal day to day role. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

A WMS project, put simply, is a group of tasks working together to meet the goal of satisfying customers. Every business, irrespective of size, depends on the successful completion of tasks and projects to be profitable and for the warehouse to be able to send out stock to make your sales.

Project Management is without doubt one of the most direct methods of improving the success by which your WMS project is completed, and hence the efficiency of the business as a whole.

Effectively implemented, a project management plan will:

Ensure tasks and deadlines are met
Increase your own and other employees' focus on the big picture
Discover the most efficient way of completing a project
Optimise the efficient use of resources
Ensure the company's business plan is implemented
Improve your business operations
Increase revenue, profitability and speed.

So what are the benefits?

The obvious benefit of having a project manager is that the major tasks will more likely be completed because team members will be more focused on their priorities. If they are physically unable to complete a particular task, it can then be rescheduled, or additional resources allocated to enable the task's completion.

This simple approach works with large external projects or normal internal business projects.

STL Warehousing has experience in moving warehouses, implementing WMS systems, re-laying a warehouse, outsourcing, implementing DRP solutions, moving departments in and out of a shared facility, moving from in-house to out-sourced and back again.

Without this inside knowledge and hands on experience, there is no other option than to take things at face value - and that can only be a HIGH-RISK approach. We work with our clients to minimise the impact of any changes that are made during your major warehouse projects.

Just as importantly, we remain completely focused on the specific warehousing needs of your organisation. In other words, we do what needs to be done, and we ensure that your Warehouse Management System (WMS) implementation can do it.
