Arla Foods - EWM enables its 'dairy of the future'

Home to some of the UK's leading dairy brands, including Cravendale, Anchor and Lurpack, it was recognised that the landscape within Arla needed to be aligned by reducing the number of Warehouse Management System (WMS) to a couple of core applications.

After consideration of the requirements from the business and WMS roadmap inputs, EWM was selected by Arla for the following reasons:

• ERP independence whilst maintaining standard integration
• Flexibility of developing with standard BAdIs
• Integrated material flow system and ITS Mobile
• Scalability
• Future integration with other SAP solutions

Key functionality was needed by Arla to support new sites which included an integrated solution with automated vehicle systems.

This was achieved with:

• Plant connectivity and telegrams from a material flow system.
• Unloading by HU to increase efficiencies for external goods receipt. Integration with line management systems to enable real time goods receipts from production and yard management.

  Processes have been enhanced to include warehouse monitor changes that make it easier for the workforce to access all required transactions from one place. The extension of the monitor now includes custom reports so all reporting is available in one place. Wave simulation was also added to show the stock picture at that point if wave was released.

  The logistics benefits have helped Arla realise approximately 15% weekly cost savings in transport, while receiving goods at pallet level when deliveries are mixed on a trailer has reduced processing time by around 50% and allowed for an increase in inbound profile.
