Solving one issues in Intel company case study.

The issue:

Within this case, it is assumed that the weight is manually entered for all of the products from a scale, and the dimensional weights are standard and are already implemented within the master data. The products weight is being put into the master data system incorrectly this is a combination from incorrect dimensional weights that are within the master data, or the weight is being manually entered in wrong. For international shipments, this can cost the company tens of thousands of dollars in fines from custom agencies that need exact and correct information to allow the shipment into the foreign country (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). Incorrect information like weight puts Intel at risk for losing future business with current and potential international buyers and the inability to recover shipments altogether can be extremely costly or even irreversible.

SOLUTION:

Need automated weight into the system so they don't have to type it in manually.

The new process will incorporate a system for weighing boxes of products before they are placed in inventory.

The solution you wrote before is not work because:

1- company cannot hiring new employees
2- company cannot provide extra space warehouses

Here is a good idea of solving incorrect actual or dimensional weights for the products causing net weight issues on the labels and documentation for customs, causing delay.

1- find a software company to implement, scale and record the entire shipments products for the international and in states.
2- find how much this software cost to install in the system.
3- after you find software and estimated the amount of the costs.
4- need manually double check for the international shipments only.

For example:

This software company,

The solution for weighing the shipment products in fast way and avoiding the incorrect dimensional weights of the actual product and incorrect manual entry is:

(Using Conveyco Automated Shipping System. The CASS is integrated or fulfillment and material handling solutions provider driven by the convener warehouse execution software. The automated shipping system automates the manual tasks associated with checking and shipping orders in a fulfillment operation. A single automated shipping system can replace 15 to 20 manual checking and parcel manifesting stations. The process of this software is, with having the weighing and dimensioning subsystem, cartons are the first scanned weight and dimensioned. The carton dimensions and weight are checked against the expected order cube in weight. Checking the carton size is unique to the automated shipping system and can catch many types of picking errors. All cartons that passed the dimensional and wait check are automatically processed for shipment. At the end of the shipping subsystem, a verification scan checks that the correct shipping label matches the carbon ID. Cartons are sorted to the specific carrier lane for palletizing or direct loading. The CASS increases order accuracy while reducing the checking and packing labor. It can easily retrofitted into existing operations. The hardware and software components are modular to create the right fit solution for each clint's unique needs.)
