Warehouse Management System (WMS) Project of Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical

I. Chengdu Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical: A Digital Pioneer in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Chengdu Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical") is a well-known domestic pharmaceutical enterprise, focusing on the R&D, production and sales of high-quality pharmaceuticals, covering chemical drugs, traditional Chinese medicines, biological drugs and other fields. Relying on its outstanding product quality and strict quality management system, Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical has won wide recognition in both domestic and international markets. With "innovation-driven, quality-oriented, and service-first" as its core values, the company is committed to enhancing its core competitiveness through technological innovation and management optimization.

However, with the continuous expansion of the enterprise scale and rapid business growth, the traditional warehouse management model has gradually exposed many problems. Issues such as information silos, inaccurate inventory management, and low logistics efficiency have become key factors restricting the company's further development. To achieve the intelligent upgrading of warehouse management and improve the enterprise's operational efficiency and market response speed, Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical decided to introduce the advanced Singedi WMS (Warehouse Management System), initiating the journey of digital transformation in warehouse management.

II. Urgent Needs for Digital Transformation of Warehouse Management

Under the traditional warehouse management model, Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical faced many challenges. Inventory records relied on paper documents and manual operations, which were not only prone to errors but also difficult for quick retrieval and analysis. Information flow inside the warehouse was slow, and there were obstacles in communication and collaboration between departments. For example, inconsistencies between inventory data and information of procurement, production, sales and other departments led to frequent inventory overstock or stockout. In addition, logistics scheduling efficiency was low, and the process of goods warehousing and outbound was cumbersome, making it difficult to meet the needs of the enterprise's rapid development.

To solve these problems, Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical decided to introduce the Hippocrates WMS, aiming to improve the efficiency and transparency of warehouse management through digital means. The Hippocrates WMS organically integrates the enterprise's warehouse business processes, realizing real-time information sharing and collaborative management. Through data collection and analysis, the Hippocrates WMS can monitor the warehouse status in real time, optimize inventory management, reduce operational costs, and bring comprehensive changes to the enterprise.

III. WMS Project: Phased Implementation to Steadily Advance Digital Transformation

(I) Overall Planning Blueprint

Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical's WMS project adopted the strategy of "overall planning and phased implementation", gradually outlining a clear path for the digital transformation of the enterprise's warehouse management.

1. Phase 1: System Planning and Foundation ConstructionThe project team conducted in-depth research on the digital construction of advanced enterprises at home and abroad, and formulated a detailed implementation plan based on Tiantaishan Pharmaceutical's actual needs. In this phase, the enterprise built the infrastructure of the WMS and initially connected the internal business processes of the warehouse, laying a foundation for the subsequent comprehensive application.
2. Phase 2: Implementation and Optimization of Core ModulesIn this phase, the enterprise focused on the implementation of core modules such as inventory management, logistics scheduling, and warehouse layout optimization. Through the Hippocrates WMS, inventory data can be updated in real time, logistics scheduling becomes more efficient, and the warehouse layout is more reasonable. At the same time, the system optimized business processes, reducing waiting time and resource waste in the warehousing process.
3. Phase 3: Comprehensive Integration and In-depth ApplicationThe Hippocrates  WMS achieved comprehensive integration with the enterprise's existing information systems (such as ERP and MES), breaking information silos and realizing seamless data sharing. By in-depth applying the data analysis function of the Hippocrates WMS, the enterprise can grasp the key indicators in the warehousing process in real time, providing decision support for the management. In addition, the Hippocrates  WMS also realized the full-process traceability of warehouse business, ensuring the transparency and standardization of operations.

(II) Innovation in Core Business Models

Centering on core modules such as inventory management, logistics scheduling, and warehouse layout optimization, the WMS project promotes the comprehensive upgrading of the enterprise's warehouse management.

• Inventory ManagementThe Singedi WMS realizes precise inventory management, tracking and controlling the entire process from raw material warehousing to finished product outbound through the system. The system automatically generates inventory reports, reducing human errors and improving the inventory turnover rate. By monitoring the inventory level in real time, the enterprise can effectively avoid overstock and stockout.
• Logistics SchedulingThe Singedi WMS optimizes the logistics scheduling process and realizes the automated management of goods warehousing and outbound. Based on inventory status and order requirements, the system can automatically generate the optimal logistics scheduling plan, improving logistics efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
• Warehouse Layout OptimizationThrough data analysis, the Hippocrates WMS provides suggestions for the enterprise's warehouse layout optimization. According to the storage needs of goods and the frequency of warehousing and outbound, the system can automatically generate a reasonable warehouse layout plan, improving the utilization rate of warehouse space.

(III) Strong Technical Architecture Support

The Hippocrates  WMS is based on an advanced digital platform, with high customization capabilities and efficient data access capabilities. The system adopts a distributed architecture, optimizing data storage and access efficiency, and can quickly respond to users' query needs. At the same time, the Singedi WMS supports integration with third-party systems, realizing data sharing and collaborative work among various business links within the enterprise.

IV. Remarkable Results: Comprehensively Improving Warehouse Management Level
