Procter & Gamble (P & G) Warehouse Management System

Overview The Procter & Gamble Company (P & G) is a recognized leader in the development, distribution and marketing of superior fabric and home care, baby care, feminine care, family care, beauty care, healthcare and snacks and beverage products. With P & G China's rapid inventory turnaround time, its existing paper-based manual system proved to be cumbersome as volume increased in the company's distribution centers. Workers charged with data collection filled numerous orders per day at a fast pace, which increased the risk of human error very early in the supply chain. As phase one of initiative to streamline the existing paper-based manual process, P & G China deployed from Symbol Technologies in 20 distribution centers throughout China for use with their warehouse management system (WMS).
