Specify Warehouse Worker Information

Explanation

The warehouse worker is the person who carries out the warehouse tasks; each worker must be entered in the system, together with information about his or her task types and location groups. Each worker is connected to a work schedule that is defined in Calendar.

The warehouse worker is connected to a person entered in Person in IFS/Enterprise. All the personal data, such as name and address, is entered. In addition, the following information needs to be specified: the worker's task types, how much of the worker's time that should be spent performing the tasks, and his efficiency rating. The warehouse worker also must be connected to the location groups where he can work.

This information is used both for warehouse planning and warehouse management. The planning functionality includes the possibility to view the total available work time and compare it to the work load. This kind of information can be seen in Workload per Location Group and in graphical form Work Load per Location Group Graph.

The warehouse management functionality uses the warehouse worker information when tasks are assigned; for example, the system decides which tasks can be assigned to a specific worker.
