Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
EWM is a new standalone warehouse management system from SAP, which was originally designed as part of the Spare Parts Management solution. Thereby SAP EWM was developed from the scratch and features only minor similarities with LE-WM or TRM.
EWM is part of SCM and currently has to be run as decentral WMS to an central ERP-system. Self- evident the operation of EWM is not limited to spare parts warehouses. In fact EWM is all-purpose and much more powerfull and flexible than its precursor products. Some highlights from EWM:
- New transport routing for real multi-step material transfer due to with layout or process needs, single steps executed by 3rd party.
- EWM manages the financial and the physical ownership of the stock flexible, which is of great interest for logistic service providers.
- Packing, value-adding services or kitting take place at workcenters that are fully integrated in new transport routing.
- Individual processes for mobile data entry can be designed with the RF-framework – efficiently and ergonomically.
- EWM covers the whole operative logistic processes including an improved integration of yard management
… and much more, as you can see in our EWM-flyer.
Westernacher was joined as partner of SAP on the first implementation of EWM and amongst others designed the user-interface of the automated small parts warehouse and the integration of the material flow system to EWM.
