SAP EWM for Warehouse Management
and Material Flow
SSI SCHAEFER implemented SAP EWM as a stand-alone solution
for controlling material flows. The existing bottling lines in
the production facilities were integrated, as was bottle separation
at the output points in the distribution building. An intelligent
exception management system and very simple user.
dialogs played a very large part here, minimizing the necessary
interaction with the system and guaranteeing maximum
stability. In addition, dynamic insertion and removal strategies
had to be developed in order to take into account considerable
seasonal fluctuations in demand.
Project characteristics
ZAM ZAM Water, Mecca:
• Administration, control of automatic HRL
• 16,800 pallet storage places
• Two aisles, eight-fold storage depth
• Control 2 storage and retrieval machines,
two-fold load handling devices
• Throughput up to 16,200 bottles per hour
• Dynamic strategies for demand-optimised
insertion and removal
• Connection to bottling lines
Special feature of the project:
For Islamic pilgrims, Zam Zam Water is the purest, holy water.
SSI SCHAEFER implemented the Extended Warehouse Management System
SAP EWM as the central material flow system in the HRL for connecting the
production lines and controlling the intra-logistics processes.
In the customer-specific design, the storage software was configured,
among other things, to allow flexible strategies for the insertion and
removal of bottles from storage direct to the pilgrims.
The result:
Based on the high level of standardisation of SAP EWM and our technical
know-how, the project was implemented “in time” and “in budget”. Since
January 2011, SAP EWM, has been controlling all warehousing processes,
material and information flow as the central logistics platform.
