Operational Impact
Improved operational efficiency and automation: With the implementation of Manhattan SCALE, Foton has seen significant improvements in operational efficiency within its distribution centres. The system allows any well-trained employee to handle product allocation by simply following system-directed instructions, reducing reliance on a few experienced employees. | |
Streamlined warehouse management: Manhattan SCALE automatically assigns products that need to be wrapped or packaged for shipment, directs products to be put away in the optimum pick location, and optimises the whole put-away, picking, and packing operation to minimise travel time between tasks. This has led to instant improvements in processing increased shipping volumes, achieving higher levels of inventory and order accuracy, and improved labour productivity. | |
Optimised labour allocation: The new system provides accurate and clear directions for resource and labour allocation, resulting in a more efficient and less labour-intensive process. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Total capacity of over 1.08 million sq. ft. (over 100,000 sqm) in auto parts distribution centres. | |
Investment of more than 2,000 million yuan ($US 320 million) in building the distribution network. | |
Market value of nearly 30 billion yuan ($US 4.7 billion). | |
