| Standardizing a Single Advanced WMS Application across Business Units and Facilities Sizes
|
- Historically large organizations have been unable to gain real supply chain benefits from implementing a single ‘best of breed’ Warehouse Management System (WMS) across all of their small to large distribution center locations due the high cost / complexity of advanced solutions
- Divergent business divisions with differing business needs further complicate requirements beyond the capabilities of a single WMS solution
- Today, Canon is overcoming this roadblock following a corporate directive to standardize operations across all divisions, all size facilities with a state-of-the-art real-time WMS application
- In this session you will hear what roadblocks existed in the past and how Canon has overcame them to provide a standardized solution that fits their entire business for today and the future
