Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics packaging management, and in particular to a packaging management system based on full-process visibility. Background Art

[0002] Managing the turnover of recycled packaging for automotive parts has always been a challenge. Initially, due to a lack of experience, we relied on traditional offline management methods, without developing a systematic management system. Instead, we used Excel ledgers. Initially, the packaging investment was small, enabling us to maintain normal business operations. However, as customer production increased, and with it the amount of recycled packaging invested, the shortcomings of the Excel ledger system became apparent. This led to disorganized recycling management, low utilization, high maintenance costs, poor data quality, high error rates, and significant data loss.

[0003] As an important part of automobile logistics, the management of recycling packaging for auto parts logistics can effectively integrate information flow and physical flow through scientific management. It can effectively identify weak links in recycling packaging management and inefficient behaviors caused by poor operation of recycling packaging, save the use and operation and maintenance costs of recycling packaging for auto parts logistics, and effectively help reduce the operating costs of enterprises. To this end, we propose a packaging management system based on full visibility to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The location is a detailed management unit of the warehouse area, which can accurately locate the position in the warehouse), packaging supplier management, packaging flow management (flow management is used to distinguish different parts and delivery methods of different suppliers to determine the data synchronization source system, and calculate the packaging quantity and return requirements based on different packaging types).

[0035] Specifically, the parts file management of the basic management module refers to recording the basic attributes of the parts, the corresponding relationship with the supplier, and the packaging number SNP. Parts with the same SNP can be bound together. The packaging file management refers to recording the category of the packaging and establishing the corresponding relationship between the packaging and the parts. The specific management method of the warehouse center is to label different warehouses to distinguish location information and main data in business operations, and realize hierarchical management (users with master library permissions can query sub-library information);

[0036] Among them, the basic management module establishes connections with the WMS system and TMS system, and calculates the packaging quantity based on the number of parts received by WMS and TMS, as well as SNP.

[0037] The incoming management module is used for incoming document management, parts conversion management, review, export and printing of incoming documents, new packaging input document management, and maintenance entry and exit document management; the outgoing management module is used for return document management. When the outgoing management module actually returns empty items, the packaging type and quantity are confirmed on-site through the APP. If there is any discrepancy, a review and maintenance will be carried out; the warehouse management module is used for maintenance document management, inventory counting, intra-warehouse transfer documents, packaging freezing and thawing documents, and packaging scrap management; the planning management module includes return plan management and box preparation plan management. Specifically, the return plan management is based on the supplier's delivery plan and the OEM's purchase plan, and then calculates the return plan. Based on the delivery quantity and the number of packages, SNP automatically calculates the number of packages and pallets that need to be returned to the supplier. When calculating the packaging for the return plan, the paper packaging delivery business is excluded. The number of empty boxes returned collected by the on-site APP / RFID system is matched with the plan, and an on-site reminder is given if it exceeds the plan.

[0038] The spare box plan is based on the OEM's purchase plan and the files of parts that need to be replaced, calculates the packaging requirements, and specifies the replacement plan at certain time intervals. Specifically, it includes the designated warehouse area, storage location, and operating personnel. During the replacement process, tasks that are not completed in the current time period due to factors such as the operating rhythm will be adjusted to the replacement plan for the next time period.

[0039] In addition, the system also includes a packaging design management module, a business and financial management module, and a reporting system module. Business management mainly involves the management of lease contracts and packaging transfer information, while financial management mainly involves collection and invoice management. The packaging design management module allows for the storage and modification of drawings, as well as the uploading / downloading of PDF drawings or images as attachments, as well as original design images. The reporting system module is used for the management of inbound and outbound reports, inventory reports, and detailed inventory reports.

[0040] The system's user interfaces include: WMS interface, TMS interface and RFID interface. The WMS interface and TMS interface are used to synchronize the delivery plans of different storage centers, and the RFID interface is used to synchronize the packaging information automatically read during the packaging transfer operation.

[0041] The improved timeliness of this invention brings more accurate data to other sections of packaging operations, such as inventory, planning, and packaging defect reporting, which is conducive to the collaboration of the entire supply chain, lean management, and the association of logistics packaging in-transit management with TMS to achieve visual tracking of in-transit items. It also brings the data, processes, and approval nodes involved in the packaging business into the management scope, establishes a high degree of integration between the CMS system and various related systems, improves the efficiency of daily packaging-related management work, and provides strong data support and convenience for optimizing packaging management work.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
