To implement a warehouse management system andintegrate it with existing core ERP solution.
Setting up RFID enablement in warehousemanagement system
We recommend SAP EWM implementation and itsintegration with existing SAP ERP solution.
Setting up RFID enablement in SAP EWM

SAP EWM will be the baseline for all future SupplyChain System Strategies
Full Product traceability throughout the Supply Chain– Inbound and Outbound
Improve Inventory accuracy in the warehouse as resultof the Physical Inventory functionality within EWM.
Improve the accuracy of product picking and dispatchto customers
Utilise monitoring tools to pro active highlightpotential problem areas in the warehouse

Preparing for Change - Not only the warehouse, butentire company is affected like OrderProcessing, Purchase, Finance, Distribution etc.
Develop blueprint and make sure that all parties areinvolved and add value
Form a steering team - Business, Management, SAPteam and consultants
Map the entire warehouse - Physical storage locations– bins, storage types, doors, gates etc
Determine upfront what packaging and labels will beused - Labels for Bins, Boxes

Make sure that the Layouts of the printed documentsare properly specified.
Impart User Training - Make sure that the end usersunderstands the total picture, not just their ownfunctionality.
If time lines are extended due to other projects re-testfull integration again.

Resistance to change
Bad replication of SAP ERP master data to SAP EWM
Training requirements for SAP EWM must not beunderestimated.
Operational Risks.

Communication - With SAP EWM being more complex it wascritical that staff understood the changes and the reasons.Ultimately it is they that will operate the system
Revisit out Master Data in SAP ERP and correct any programerrors. Via the core Interface, master data SAP ERP is replicatedin SAP EWM to process related transactions
Plan and prepare for your training requirements early and makesure that everyone is focused on the big picture, not just thepush of a button!
Work out a Business Continuity Plan.

SAP EWM affects the entire business, not just the warehouse
Make sure you understand the hardware requirements - RFdevices, Printers etc.
Do not underestimate the business blueprint phase - Changesdown the line can be costly and time consuming
Master Data is the ROOT of all evil - Bad master data can andwill bring processes to a standstill. Ensure that someone takesownership of your master data as well as the transfer thereofbetween SAP EWM and SAP ERP
Timely communicate the changes as well as the reasons for it
