Боярд (Boyard) (Infor Supply Chain Execution (Infor SCE))

2019: Infor SCE Implementation WMS v.10.3

Boyard is the largest representative of the furniture fittings market in the Russian Federation.

In 2019, Boyard built and officially launched its own flagship fort in Yekaterinburg. It contains a large-scale modern distribution and storage complex. Implemented Infor SCE v10 warehouse management system.

The standard WMS functionality in the warehouse uses several selection types:

• Pallet selection (selection is performed by whole pallets from storage cells in racks, starting from the 2nd tier and above; forklift driver).
• Selection by boxes (selection is performed by boxes from cells of the 1st tier in racks; by the picker, who moves in rochla through the warehouse, collecting boxes on a wooden pallet to the customer's order);
• Piece selection on the mezzanine (selection is performed by pieces or adhesions on the mezzanine; A piece picker moves on a mezzanine, either with a box or with a rochel, on which there are several boxes, where each box can be ordered for a separate customer, that is, several orders are collected at once for different customers on a single pallet).

Different processes are used to perform replenishment. One of which is Composite Replenishment.

• To replenish the picking cells with boxes, the usual replenishment with whole pallets from the storage is used.
• Composite refilling is used to refill unit selection cells on the mezzanine.

The difference between normal and composite replenishment is that without composite replenishment, the forklift operator must perform each replenishment task separately. With the help of composite replenishment, the collector receives the tasks of box replenishment for one pallet, then this pallet is moved to the mezzanine, where the boxes are placed in the corresponding selection cells with the second step from the pallet.
