Warehouse Management (WM) case studies:
WM case study I:
Motivation: After having finished the Warehouse Management I am sure you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario: The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. Now your task is to order two different products (water bottles and road helmets) from the supplier Spy Gear, 50 pieces each. A water bottle will cost 11 USD and a road helmet will cost 27 USD. The trading goods should be delivered in 8 days.
After the goods arrived in your Distribution Center in San Diego they need to be transferred in two different bins.
Tips: You can use the Warehouse Management I case study as a guideline but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.
WM case study II:
Motivation: After having finished the Warehouse Management II case study you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario: The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. The distribution center in San Diego will be delivering customers very soon. In order to do so you need to ensure that there are enough black Deluxe Touring Bikes available on stock. Unfortunately, you can not order any from your plant in Dallas, due to problems with one of the assembly lines there are no free resources available. In order to have 50 black Deluxe Touring Bikes (estimation by the management) in San Diego on time you need to order them from your plant in Heidelberg (Germany). The delivery time is 10 days maximum.
As soon as the goods arrive in your DC in San Diego they need to be stored in the same bin where the black Touring Bikes from this case study already are.
Tips: You can use the Warehouse Management II case study as a guideline but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.
WM case study III:
Motivation After having finished the Warehouse Management III case study you should now be able to solve the following challenge.
Scenario The warehouse management system has been tested without any problems, so the management decided to use the system productively. Due to a higher demand for bikes for the Tour de France black Professional Touring Bikes are almost out of stock in Europe. The Distribution Center in San Diego still has them available so that the delivery of a wholesale sales order has been managed by the new warehouse management system.
The customer VeloDOM from Magdeburg (Germany) ordered 20 black Professional Touring Bikes with a delivery time of 10 days.
Tips You can use the case study Warehouse Management III as a guideline, but it is recommended to complete this challenge without further assistance to prove your WM skills.
