WMS - Wave Strategy

Wave management is a way to improve the efficiency of warehouse picking, generally orders will be merged into a wave according to a certain wave strategy to guide the picking, that is, different orders in accordance with certain criteria are aggregated together to unify the picking.

The traditional picking operation is: the order in a certain order to print out a batch of shipping orders, manually assigned to the picker for picking. This approach brings the problem of uneven distribution of tasks, operational efficiency is not high, while the priority of a task can only be judged and implemented manually

Wave management wave strategy Principle: a warehouse has a separate wave strategy, the customer's orders in accordance with a certain picking priority or order type as a condition, a period of time for the orders into a wave, uniformly sent to a unified picking

Bulk orders: a warehouse has a separate wave strategy, a warehouse has a separate wave strategy, customer orders according to a certain picking priority or order type for the conditions, a period of time orders into a wave, uniformly issued unified picking

Bulk order: an order with a large number of items

Single item, single piece: the order is all for one item and the quantity purchased is one item

Multiple item, single piece: the order is all for one item

Multiple items, multiple items: the order is for a variety of items and miscellaneous items

There is one and only one wave strategy for a warehouse, which is executed once every period of time, in accordance with the time range in which the wave strategy is in effect. According to the time when the wave policy takes effect, the wave policy is executed once every period of time, and the orders to be picked in the order are automatically divided into waves according to the priority of the wave policy.

It also supports manual allocation of waves, so that orders that you want to pick quickly can be manually assigned a wave for picking without waiting for an automated wave to execute.

The warehouse picker will pick according to the wave assigned by the supervisor, take the printed wave picking list to execute the picking operation, and after the picking is completed, the goods will be sorted to the corresponding order twice or put the goods and the corresponding order together in the way of picking and dividing. If there is a PDA in the warehouse, picking will be more convenient and there is no need to print the wave picking list.
