Press Release Summary: Critical to Safety Component for Distributors includes WCS
According to The Machinist

Press Release Body: In the current issue of The Machinist, leading manufacturing
journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, described the "Streamlining of Security
Process. According to Cutler "The reason WMS (warehouse management systems) are no
longer providing this transactional role is that when a WMS operates more than a
single warehouse, they are generally located off site, and tend to lose transaction
speed. WCS offers configurability and flexibility along with the new level of
required heightened security."

As outsourcing shifts the manufacturing model to a distribution centre modality, no
where is employee safety more compromised than on the distribution floor. Unlike the
days where all the items were shipped by the case load and carefully palletized,
many retailers are demanding partial shipments.

All these specialized pick and pack distribution requirements could dramatically
increase the safety concerns. According to Jerry List, VP of QC Software, "The old
WMS (warehouse management system) model of advanced forecasting of the picking and
shipping process does not work in a real-time dynamic warehouse. The WCS allows for
real-time information and routing."



Only the bottom-line drives industrial safety and security. While it sounds
politically correct and ethically appropriate to speak of employee well-being, too
often this mantra is little more than corporate public relations spin. It is fine
to speak of the responsibility of every company to establish, supervise.

Unless security and safety are seen as part of a lean manufacturing continued
process improvement program, it is usually an afterthought to a 'problem'. This
seemingly cynical perspective is played out in thousands of press releases daily;
and safety concerns are 'carefully investigated.' Bottom-line impacts, from
reduction of accidents and expensive product liability litigation, drive industrial
safety and security.to think otherwise is naïve.
