HowToImplement integrated WMS

• Do your due diligence, perform an ROI calculation and keep that ROI focus
• Document your goals and objectives / the problems you need to solve
• Work closely with your vendor's implementation team to design the process
• Create a thorough implementation project plan
• Break it down into manageable pieces. Early successes = buy-in from your team
• For a fluid install have a pre and post implementation plan to manage the production environment (go-live)
• Test every function of the WMS to verify the setup; further testing is needed if modifications are required
• Training users when they are not responsible for warehouse functions to get their full attention
• Give your people pre-implementation practice time to get comfortable with the technology
• Document procedures for later retrieval by end users
• Assign personnel to manage the go-live that will work with users and troubleshoot
