Why is it easy for enterprises to fail in implementing WMS warehouse management system

In implementation WMS In the process of warehouse management system , In some enterprises, the effect is not ideal and even the implementation fails . Not only does it not add value to the warehouse , And wasted money and time .

So what is the reason for this , Mainly in the enterprise for the implementation of WMS Insufficient understanding of system risk , As a result, adequate preparation was not made in the implementation stage . So it is not surprising that the project fails or the effect is not ideal , This article focuses on enterprises WMS Cause analysis of implementation failure .

 

One 、 Demand risk

The planning and design stage has not completely digested the early research needs , The new needs of leaders are coming , Which eventually led to this WMS The overall demand of the warehouse management system is endless , hold WMS The system requirements become a fully customized one WMS A system that doesn't matter . Therefore, enterprises must base on their own business scenarios , Find out the problems in the warehouse , And right WMS Functional requirements of warehouse management system module , Otherwise, they will blindly raise too high demands , Let the system implementation encounter layers of obstacles .

Two 、 Cognitive risk

WMS Whether the warehouse management system can be successfully implemented , It is closely related to the importance of the enterprise . If the management of the company does not pay enough attention to the system , Problems encountered in the implementation process cannot be solved in time , Extend the implementation time of the system , Employees' extra work in busy business processing will increase their resistance .

Second, it depends on the management of the enterprise WMS The degree of understanding of , With the attention of the company's management , There should also be clear goals for the enterprise itself .WMS Only the warehouse management system supplier can solve the problems and function modules according to the clear needs of the enterprise , Customize and develop a system that is suitable for enterprise use WMS System . Remember that systems are not everything , There are also unsolvable problems , Talent is the key to the success of the system .

3、 ... and 、 Product risk

Although it is said that the current market WMS The warehouse management system is roughly the same , But for different industries WMS The warehouse management system is slightly different . Most industries have their own characteristics , There are special strategies in warehousing rules and outbound sorting . While selecting WMS The stability and applicability of the product itself should also be taken into account when designing the product 、 And whether it can support the visible development in the future . Enterprises must consider the technical capabilities of suppliers when selecting models 、 Product development capability 、 Word of mouth 、 Industry case 、 The most important thing is a professional implementation team . Good products make you half the way , A good implementation team may make you more successful .

Four 、 Implement team risk

An excellent implementation team is crucial to the success of the project implementation . The work of the project implementation team is to help the enterprise sort out the business blueprint 、 Deploy WMS System , Help customers with end-user training and support . therefore , The quality and experience of consultants is to reduce investment 、 Important determinants of risk control . So when enterprises choose to implement service providers , Industry experience of key personnel of the project team is required 、 The implementation ability can be included in the project implementation team only after passing the examination and interview .

With good implementation, the supplier team is not enough ,WMS The system is just a tool to help employees improve efficiency , How much value it can bring into play , It all depends on the ability of our own employees . If our employees are training 、 Process testing and other links are not involved , Then their understanding of the system will only stay in a half understanding , Whether the system value can be reflected in the later stage , It also looks good at the running in period between the staff and the system , A little bad 、 In case of trouble, you will complain that the system is not easy to use , In the long run, it will be abandoned .

5、 ... and 、 Operation and maintenance risk

WMS After the warehouse management system is successfully launched , It doesn't mean the project is over , Instead, it's the beginning . After all, in the early application , In the design of the system, there will be some problems that are inconvenient to operate or the function cannot be realized , This requires optimization of the system , Make the system fully meet the design requirements , such WMS The system can be integrated into the normal operation of the warehouse faster .
