Learn how PSE mod­ern­ized their ware­house oper­a­tions through SAP EWM, QM, and Batch Man­age­ment to improve space uti­liza­tion, increase inven­to­ry accu­ra­cy, empow­er its work­force, and sup­port their field tech­ni­cians more effec­tive­ly.   Hear from Puget Sound Ener­gy their rea­sons for change, key project high­lights, key EWM func­tion­al­i­ty lever­aged, and key busi­ness ben­e­fits achieved. 

Key Busi­ness Benefits:

• Improve man­age­ment and uti­liza­tion of lim­it­ed ware­house space to sup­port a com­plex array of main­te­nance parts, tools, con­struc­tion mate­ri­als, and oper­at­ing supplies
• Increase inven­to­ry accu­ra­cy through bin-lev­el man­age­ment of the ware­house, and bar­code scan ver­i­fi­ca­tion and data entry vs. paper
• Sim­pli­fy ven­dor con­sign­ment man­age­ment through stock deter­mi­na­tion and auto­mat­ed pur­chase at point of issue
• Ease cap­ture and man­age­ment of seri­al­ized inven­to­ry through bar­cod­ing and SAP RF technologies
