Application of Passive Wireless RFID Asset Management in Warehousing of Cross-Border E-Commerce Enterprises

As an important part of modern logistics, warehousing provides a guarantee for the sustainable stability of enterprises, so as to realize the economy of enterprise production and transportation and so as to realize the economy of enterprise production and transportation. With the advent of the information age, the traditional logistics management model has been difficult to adapt to the current increasingly fierce market competition environment. In the management of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, warehouse management must establish a systematic and information-based logistics warehouse management system to improve the level of logistics management. Passive wireless RFID asset management provides a new idea for the construction of warehousing management system of cross-border e-commerce enterprises. Through the application of RFID technology, the warehousing design scheme and process of cross-border e-commerce enterprises can be optimized and controlled to the greatest extent, so as to strengthen the optimization and integration of supply chain and improve the market competitiveness of logistics enterprises. Based on the wireless passive RFID asset management technology, this paper analyses the construction and optimization of the logistics warehouse management system of cross-border e-commerce enterprises. The simulation results show that after the application of wireless passive RFID asset management technology, the warehouse operation efficiency of cross-border e-commerce enterprises is improved, the employee utilization rate is relatively reduced, and at the same time, it can also save a lot of manpower and reduce the labour cost.

DECISION MAKING ANALYSIS OF AUTO-ID SYSTEM USING ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) AT PT. AKG

The increasingly competitive industrial competition makes companies from all sectors around the world change the system to be more efficient and effective. One of the efforts to improve the company is by implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS). Lately, many large companies are implementing Auto-ID (automatic identification) technology to solve existing problems. The types of Auto-ID technology that are often used are barcode, RFID and QR code technology. PT AKG is a manufacturing company that produces and markets plastic finished materials to serve the needs of other companies has not yet implemented WMS, this causes human error due to the process still manual. This research proposed to find the best warehouse management system using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for PT. AKG. Alternative systems in this study are barcode, RFID, and QR code with the criteria used are cost, fuctionality, performance, and sustainability. Based on the results, the system chosen is the QR code with a score of 0.578084. QR codes can make it easier for operators and PPIC department staff to take notes and minimize recording errors. Recording that originally used Microsoft Excel and paper as a tool is no longer needed because operators only need to scan using a smartphone that is connected to the company's warehouse management system.

Analisis Human Error Pada Surat Penyerahan Petikemas (SP2) Dan Warehouse Management System (WMS)

PT. XYZ is a logistics service company engaged in the shipping service business of sea / air ships (EMKL / EMKU) and warehousing / warehousing. In the operational field of Full Container Load (FCL) at PT XYZ, there are problems, namely Human Error (Human Error) inputting data into the Container Handover Letter (SP2) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) documents. The purpose of this study was to determine the causative factors and to find out the right recommendations for improvement in the event of data input errors in the WMS system and data input errors in the manufacture of SP2. Data collection techniques, namely by observation and interviews. The analysis technique used fishbone diagrams and 5W + 1H analysis. Factors that cause Human Error are lack of training or trainning, the number of other tasks outside the job description, the absence of work shifts, the atmosphere is too busy by EMKL who takes care of documents, and the absence of an RFID Reader. To minimize the occurrence of Human Errors is to hold training and provide motivation so that employees can take part in training in operating the WMS system, socializing and providing additional benefits or money to employees, recruiting new employees at least divided into 2 team work shifts for the WMS operation section, adding service into two parts, will reduce EMKL queues and speed up document input to WMS, conduct socialization to use RFID.
