DETAILED OPERATIONS <br /> <br />Continued <br /> <br /> The EDI information flow starts <br />from the incoming customer orders, <br />termed as order-processing. The customer <br />orders are entered into an SAP system, in <br />the Perfect Customer Support Center in <br />New Britain, CT. Once the orders are <br />taken, they will then be sent to the <br />Kannapolis DC., two to three times a day, <br />over an area-wide TI fiberoptic <br />connection. Here it will be received by <br />the McHugh-Freeman WMS, operated by <br />an HP 9000 T520C. The WMS wilt <br />dictate the receiving, putaway, <br />replenishment, picking, packing, sorting <br />and shipping of a product during its <br />lifecycle xvithin the DC. <br /> <br /> The WMS starts with the inbound, where it will process and update the customer orders <br />and sends it to the Wesley TRACS Transportation Manager system. This system will use the data <br />to consolidate shipments into the most cost efficient freight pattern. TRACS concerns itself with <br />transportation planning, carrier performance, trailer loading, highway mileage and freight <br />payment auditing. The TRACS transportation manager then sends this information back to the <br />WMS, to then mold the order waves. <br /> <br /> When inbound trailers arrive, an <br />available dock door is assigned and a safety <br />check of the truck is performed. Zebra 140 <br />printers are used to produce unique l x 4 <br />Code 128 license plate labels for each <br />pallet. Products that arrive in partial pallets <br />will be sent to a detailed receiving area. <br />Here products will be scanned with wireless <br />Symbol LS 3040 scanners and license plate <br />labels will be printed. <br /> <br /> <br />
