Project overview
A consumer-goods warehouse faced extreme seasonal peaks and needed a more stable model for campaign execution. Hiring extra labor helped, but the process itself was still too difficult to absorb volume smoothly.
Challenges
- Peak demand created unstable labor utilization
- Manual prioritization caused missed deadlines
- Temporary staff needed faster onboarding
SAP EWM solution design
The SAP EWM design emphasized standardized RF flows, simple staging rules, wave grouping, and task prioritization by ship window. The goal was to make peak execution easier to absorb rather than simply adding headcount.
Key outcomes
Indicative gains include 20% to 35% higher peak throughput, 20% to 30% shorter training time for temporary labor, and stronger dispatch adherence during campaigns. These are realistic outcomes in guided-work environments with better task structure.
Next steps
The next step would be simulation-based labor planning for peak campaigns.
