WMS applications offer capabilities such as receiving, put­away, stock locating, inventory management, cycle counting, task interleaving, wave planning, order allocation, order picking, replenishment, packing, shipping, labor management and...

Risk-Management for Data Warehouse Systems

Data warehouse projects are notoriously difficult to manage and many of them end in failure. One explanation for the high failure rate is that managers are not taking prudent measures to assess and manage the risks involved in the data warehouse project. In this paper we introduce the goaldriven risk management approach of the easyREMOTE framework. We classify the risks of a data warehouse syst...

Introducing a New Formulation for the Warehouse Inventory Management Systems: with Two Stochastic Demand Patterns

This paper presents a new formulation for warehouse inventory management in a stochastic situation. The primary source of this formulation is derived from FP model, which has been proposed by Fletcher and Ponnambalam for reservoir management. The new proposed mathematical model is based on the first and the second moments of storage as a stochastic variable. Using this model, the expected value...

Top management support of enterprise systems implementations

Abstract Despite the general consensus regarding the critical role of top management in the information systems (ISs) implementation process, the literature has not yet provided a clear and compelling understanding of the top management support (TMS) concept. Applying metastructuring (Orlikowski et al., 1995) as a guiding framework for understanding TMS behaviors, this paper attempts to address...
