assignments for the warehouse (SAP® transport n Pick and Pack with MDE equipment
orders, ORTEC MLS work packages) are created. n Dynamic replenishment processes
Based on various logistic criteria, the work
assignments can also be split into the respective
tasks groups for the devices, for example:
2 Task Controlling
The task controlling is conducted by the ORTEC n Definition of users and picking groups
MLS Workload Manager together with the ORTEC n Assignment of users to picking groups
MLS Work Package monitor. These tools manage n Assignment of users to areas
the operative steering of the warehouse processes n Placing of priorities for areas (for example, priority 1
and provide adequate overview and intervention replenishment, priority 2 goods receipt)
possibilities throughout the entire process. n Changes of group assignment to work packages
The ORTEC MLS Workload Manager plans the n Change to priority assignment of work packages
resources and task pool: n Monitoring work packages
