MenaBev successfully deploys Infor supply chain software with SNS
Infor recently announced that MenaBev, a multinational franchise organization of PepsiCo, has implemented Infor WMS warehouse management solution at its more than 300,000sqm bottling facility in Jeddah, one of the world’s largest.
In a press communique the company said that that Infor WMS will increase automation across the organization, optimizing business processes to boost capacity and support continued growth of MenaBev’s end-to-end operation, from raw material receipt through to the production, storage and shipping of finished goods.
The project was successfully managed by Infor alliance partner SNS, a leading provider of supply chain consultancy and software implementation.
With eight production lines and thousands of transactions daily between different systems, MenaBev’s facility is the largest operation of its kind in the world.
The automation at this MenaBev facility is advanced, where LGVs (laser guided vehicles) manage raw materials and replenishment to the lines while a High Bay AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval system) has a capacity for more than 36,000 pallets.
MenaBev solicited the expertise of SNS consultants in WMS software to complement its offering for this green field project, drawing on the SNS team’s vast experience in managing such large, complex implementations to ensure the right solution to fulfill MenaBev’s specific needs.
“Thanks to the new system, we have visibility over all our warehouse processes. We have worked very closely with the SNS team to ensure we implement the best solution for our extensive operation,” remarked Tamer Salem, MES and Automation Manager, MenaBev.
Infor WMS will integrate with all of MenaBev’s key systems to facilitate end-to-end visibility, which is crucial in generating real-time insights, and enhancing decision-making to support future growth,” commented Wael Mabsout, Senior Manager, SNS.
