SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management)

SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) enables supply chain networks to respond to changes and provide the required flexibility. Warehouse execution will be seamlessly integrated into the entire supply chain to monitor exceptions and to provide insight into planning and operations.

 

Keeping a warehouse running smoothly clearly depends on transparent and accurate inventory—and wise and flexible resource management. To maximize productivity, you must automate and optimize traditional warehouse operations—from goods receipt, through storage, to packing and shipping. You also need to make the most of human resources and equipment assets by implementing techniques such as interleaving tasks and implementing controls for space and equipment usage. SAP EWM on the SAP S/4HANA platform helps you meet these objectives.
