Warehouse Execution in Americas with SAP Extended Warehouse Management
Kannanware implements SAP EWM as the “muscle” of the supply chain — managing bin-level inventory, task execution, slotting optimisation, automation control (MFS), labour productivity, and value-added services for high-throughput warehouses, aligned to US warehousing governance and execution standards.
Why SAP EWM
EWM enables execution-level control: bins, tasks, labour, and automation — turning the warehouse into a measurable, optimised throughput engine.
Execution-Level Warehouse Control
Go from “10 units” to exact bins, tasks, and real-time execution with traceability.
AI-Like Slotting Optimisation
Place fast movers near docks and reduce travel time with slotting and rearrangement strategies.
Automation-Ready with MFS
Integrate conveyors and robots directly with EWM for reliable, transparent automation control.
Measured Labour Productivity
Track task times vs standards to improve throughput and enable performance programmes.
EWM Capabilities
End-to-end EWM delivery — core execution, optimisation, automation, and value-added services — integrated with ERP for inventory and financial consistency.
EWM Core Implementation
Inbound/putaway, replenishment, picking, packing, staging, and shipping with RF/mobile execution.
Slotting & Rearrangement
Implement velocity-based layout, replenishment rules, and rearrangement programmes to reduce travel time.
Labour Management
Engineer standards, task tracking, exception reason codes, and productivity dashboards.
MFS Integration
Connect conveyors/ASRS/robots, map telegrams, monitor equipment, and handle exceptions.
Value-Added Services (VAS)
Enable kitting, labeling, and special handling with work centres and confirmations.
S/4HANA Integration
Integrate deliveries, inventory, and finance for an end-to-end execution model.
