This research will examine in detail the theoretical importance and analytical use of reserve data in financial and management reporting. This article provides information on inventory accounting and how it is important for an enterprise, threats that may arise as a result of improper accounting, and the theoretical importance of analytical accounting. Materials and methods. Data Collection, literature review, policy implications were used in the study. Analytical accounting offers analysis and evaluation of inventories by material types and prices. This includes analysis of material movements, evaluation of material types, diversification, identification of safety points and management of material operations. Analytical analysis results contribute to the determination and development of material management policy. Research results. The greatest advantage of the article is that it combines the theoretical and practical aspects of analysis and emphasizes the value of analysis, reflecting important steps and practical tips for material resource management and production process analysis. This helps to develop the material handling process in an effective and safe manner. Conclusion. The accounting of the quantity of materials is carried out by the persons responsible for the material in the warehouse accounting book according to the first documents. The balance of materials as of the 1st of each month is transferred from the warehouse accounting book to the balance table by the accounting staff or the warehouse manager. Then the balance sheet is reconciled with the data of the synthetic account. Thus, in the application of the balance method, accounting does not repeat the work that would be done by materially responsible persons for accounting of materials, and instead organizes control over their work.

Espduino-32 Utilization in the Warehouse Storage Information System of the Metal Processing Industry Department

An information technology system basically includes 3 things, namely hardware such as computers and printers, then software, and also the user or user who controls it, or what is usually called brainware. In the industrial world, information systems are needed to facilitate the work carried out by users. Based on the results of observations at the research location, several problems were found, namely the process of searching for items took a long time due to the location of the items not being well organized and the layout of the shelves in the warehouse being quite confusing. The number of items in the warehouse is also not recorded, making the warehouse manager unable to confirm the number of items in the warehouse. Numbering shelves in the warehouse is also a problem because insufficient lighting makes it difficult for users to find the right shelf in a short time. By designing an information system in the form of a website related to the warehouse inventory system which is connected using WiFi connectivity with the Espduino-32 module which controls the relay to turn on the shelf marker lights when and during the user's search for items. The results obtained from the implementation are that the process of searching for items in the warehouse is easier and can be done in a short time with the shelf number information listed in the search system as well as the indicator lights that will light up during the search process

Analiza osobina subjekata krivičnih dela protiv Vojske Srbije određenih Krivičnim zakonikom

The Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia recognizes individuals as perpetrators of offenses against the Serbian Armed Forces in a manner that, although linguistically similar to the way relationships are determined within the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense, fundamentally differs from the definitions provided by the Law of the Serbian Armed Forces. This may pose a challenge for authorized individuals leading criminal proceedings, as they often lack sufficient knowledge of the organization of the Serbian Armed Forces and struggle with its numerous regulations. The issue of legally defining individuals designated as perpetrators of criminal offenses by the Criminal Code is therefore explored through the method of content analysis and a comparison of regulations and broader scientific literature. According to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia, individuals designated as perpetrators of criminal offenses against the Serbian Armed Forces include: military personnel; military superiors; subordinates; officials performing border duties; warehouse manager; citizen of Serbia; commander of a warship; member of a warship's crew; and member of a military aircraft crew. Through further analysis of the content of the regulations of the Serbian Armed Forces, clear definitions are provided for individuals such as subordinates, warehouse managers, citizens of Serbia, and members of a military aircraft crew in all comparative laws and regulations. Minor terminological deviations arise in the definition of the concept of military personnel, while some other subjects are significantly differently defined in the mentioned regulations (such as military superiors, who are actually individuals with the functional duty of a superior; officials performing border duties, who, since 2007, fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and cannot commit criminal offenses against the Serbian Armed Forces; or the commander of a warship and a member of a warship's crew, who can only be found on a military vessel).

Warehouse Manager Selection by CRITIC-MULTIMOORA Hybrid Method based on Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets

Warehouses are junction points in the supply chain. To avoid disruptions in the supply chain flow, the materials stored in the warehouse must be safely protected and made available for the next transportation activity. Warehouse personnel are critical in ensuring full-time material flow. For the administrative dimension, warehouse managers are the leaders responsible for the successful execution of all warehouse input-output processes. Therefore, a successful warehouse manager is needed for successful warehouse operations. The aim of this research is to determine the warehouse manager selection criteria and to select the best warehouse manager among the candidate with using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods as a hybrid. In the literature, it is seen that the manager selection problem is overseen with various MCDM methods. In this study, eight warehouse manager selection criteria were determined and their weights were calculated by the criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation based on single-valued neutrosophic set method (SVNS-CRITIC) method. Four alternatives were ranked with the multi-objective optimization by ratio analysis based on single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNS-MULTIMOORA) method. The manager selection was made for the general warehouse owned by a company operating in Turkey. A team consisting of two experts and a proficient manager was established to evaluate the candidates. As a result of the application, the most important warehouse manager selection criterion is determined as the skills of managers to manage warehouse input-output and storage activities. In addition, the best manager candidate was determined for the general warehouse. According to the results of the research, suggestions were developed for warehouse manager candidates and researchers. With this research, it has been brought to the literature that warehouse manager selection criteria and SVNS-CRITIC-MULTIMOORA hybrid method can be used in manager selection problems.

Pureshare Method in Dashboard Development to Monitor Warehouse Performance at PT XYZ Using the Cost Per Case (Cpc) Perspective

Warehouse costs contribute about 22% of the company's total logistics costs. Thus, a warehouse manager must have comprehensive knowledge of costs and cost triggers in the warehouse to be able to minimize costs while keeping customer satisfaction. One effective way to minimize warehouse costs is by conducting the cost analysis. Although PT XYZ is one of the biggest Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies in Indonesia applying one of the most comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning software, its existing warehouse management support system occupies only standard Microsoft Excel. One of its warehouses, located in West Java, is responsible for more than 147,000 pallets each day, and the warehouse manager still uses Microsoft Excel with limitations in displaying the required information, especially the information related to the Cost Per Case (CPC) in every activity. Therefore, a template or dashboard that can provide information related to CPC in the warehouse is urgently needed. Given the importance of cost monitoring in the warehouse of PT XYZ, this research aims to create a dashboard that can make it easier for companies to monitor warehouse performance from a CPC perspective. The methods used in data collection consist of several processes, namely interviews, observations, and literature studies. While analyzing the needs of dashboard creation, this research uses the PureShare method. Thus, the results are obtained in the form of a proposed warehouse dashboard that can be used by the company to conduct cost analysis by providing information related to CPC of every activity in the warehouse, where the information presented on the dashboard is in accordance with the company's needs.

Research on Stereo Library Based on Homogeneous Markov Chain

The intelligent inventory has not yet been implemented in the automated three-dimensional library. The warehouse basically relies on the accounts of the warehouse. It is really necessary to check the pallets manually with the help of a stacker, or venture into the aisle to check on the spot, or install radio frequency identification (RFID) on the pallet. The radio frequency recognition device on the stacker’s loading platform obtains the information of a specific pallet to achieve a physical inventory. After investigation, the results that can pass the three-dimensional library system automatic library are still blank. For the three-dimensional library, the intelligent inventory is of great significance to the actual production. It can automatically identify whether the goods in the designated cargo space are consistent with the storage according to the needs of the warehouse manager, so the demand for the intelligent inventory is very urgent.

Travel time models for tier-to-tier SBS/RS with different storage assignment policies and shuttle dispatching rules

This paper explores both random and class-based storage policies and three shuttle dispatching rules, random, distance-based, and demand-rate based, for a tier-to-tier shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS). Modeling the system as a discrete-time Markov Chain, this study derived the shuttle distribution under each policy combination, and further developed the expected travel time models for both single-command (SC) and dual-command (DC) operations. The developed models can help a warehouse designer or manager to comprehensively make four decisions for SBS/RS, whether SC or DC operations should be adopted, the most appropriate storage policy, the best shuttle dispatching rule, and the number of shuttles. The travel time models can evaluate each possible policy combination quickly through multiple criteria, such as the capacity, customer responsiveness, and costs of shuttles. Numerical experiments showed significant impacts of the policy combination on the expected travel time. Class-based storage, if implementable, is always better than random storage under each combination of shuttle dispatching rule and operational mode (i.e., SC or DC). Under random storage and SC operations, the distance-based shuttle dispatching rule is always better than the random rule, and their difference is concave in the number of shuttles. When classed-based storage is adopted and the number of shuttles is small, the demand-rate-based rule is the best under SC operations. Its benefit becomes more obvious when demand rates become more heterogeneous until some point but decreases as the system has more shuttles. Under DC Operations, depending on equipment speeds, the distance-based shuttle dispatching rule can be worse than the random rule under random storage. Under class-based storage and DC operations, the demand-rate-based rule is still the best when demand rates are heterogeneous. The differences between SC and DC operations are more significant when demand rates are more homogenous. When a system wants to be more responsive to customers, it should be run under SC operations. If the overall capacity is of interest, DC operations are much better.

Decision support system for truck scheduling in logistic network through cross-docking strategy

In recent years, companies around the world need to find new ways to reduce costs, increase productivity, improve product quality, and meet various customer demands. Each Distribution Center (DC) or warehouse is specifically designed to minimize costs in the company’s supply chain. Cross-docking is a logistics technique that eliminates storing and picking up items at warehouses. Cross-docking has several advantages compared to other product distribution strategies from both an economic and an environmental point of view. Cross-docking decisions are influenced by many factors such as the level of product demand, the cost of stock-outs, and the distance from suppliers to customers. This research builds a Decision Support System (DSS) that can help companies to ensure sustainability in the supply chain. This study assumes the demand is deterministic which is indicated by Economic Order Quantity (EOQ). This system can detect the time and quantity of certain items that experience cross-docks accurately. If the customers’demand cannot be fulfilled by the warehouse, then the goods are categorized as out of stock. By knowing the time and quantity of goods at the time of the cross-dock, the warehouse manager can make operational decisions quickly and accurately related to the resources such asoperators and forklifts.

Inventory management and performance of manufacturing firms

Inventory management practices (IMP) are prevalent in managing and controlling inventory in an organisation. The study aims to measure the performance of steel manufacturing firms by determining the effect of distribution turnover and inventory automation over competitive strength and operational efficiencies. From the extant literature, it is evident that the above relationship is very limited in the Indian context. Data were collected from five selected manufacturing firms from the state of Odisha, India. Respondents of the study are some key officials, viz. operations manager, production manager, purchase manager and warehouse manager from various manufacturing firms. As per the need of the study, various statistical tools such as correlation, multiple regression, confirmatory factor analysis and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used. The outcome of the study concludes that IMP has significant impact on firm performance and also contributes to the existing body of knowledge by helping inventory management practitioners of manufacturing industry.

The main aspects of the impact of digitalization on logistics are indicated: transport logistics, purchasing logistics, information logistics, customs logistics.

A Simulation-Based Optimization Method for Warehouse Worker Assignment

The general assignment problem is a classical NP-hard (non-deterministic polynomial-time) problem. In a warehouse, the constraints on the equipment and the characteristics of consecutive processes make it even more complicated. To overcome the difficulty in calculating the benefit of an assignment and in finding the optimal assignment plan, a simulation-based optimization method is introduced. We first built a simulation model of the warehouse with the object-oriented discrete-event simulation (O2DES) framework, and then implemented a random neighborhood search method utilizing the simulation output. With this method, the throughput and service level of the warehouse can be improved, while keeping the number of workers constant. Numerical results with real data demonstrate the reduction of discrepancy between inbound and outbound service level performance. With a less than 10% reduction in inbound service level, we can achieve an over 30% increase in outbound service level. The proposed decision support tool assists the warehouse manager in dealing with warehouse worker allocation problem under conditions of random daily workload.

Compare the forecasting method of artificial neural network and support vector regression model to measure the bullwhip effect in supply chain

The objective of this study was to compare the Bullwhip Effect (BWE) in the supply chain through two methods and to determine the inventory policy for the uncertainty demand. It would be useful to determine the best forecasting method to predict the certain condition. The two methods are Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR), which would be applied in this study. The data was obtained from the instant noodle dataset where it was in random normal distribution. The forecasting demands signal have Mean Squared Error (MSE) where it is used to measure the bullwhip effect in the supply chain member. The magnification of order among the member of the supply chain would influence the inventory. It is quite important to understand forecasting techniques and the bullwhip effect for the warehouse manager to manage the inventory in the warehouse, especially in probabilistic demand of the customer. This process determines the appropriate inventory policy for the retailer. The result from this study shows that ANN and SVR have the variance of 0.00491 and 0.07703, the MSE was 1.55e-6 and 1.53e-2, and the total BWE was 95.61 and 1237.19 respectively. It concluded that the ANN has a smaller variance than SVR, therefore, the ANN has a better performance than SVR, and the ANN has smaller BWE than SVR. At last, the inventory policy was determined with the continuous review policy for the uncertainty demand in the supply chain member.

FARMERS’ UNDERSTANDING TOWARD THE WAREHOUSE RECEIPT SYSTEM’S POLICY IN EAST JAVA INDONESIA

This study examined farmers' understanding toward the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) policy in East Java, Indonesia. It focused on 16 question items, namely 1) WRS existence, 2) WRS definition, 3) WRS rules, 4) WRS function, 5) WRS to prevent risks, 6) WRS as a marketing solution, 7) types of commodities stored in warehouse, 8) warehouse receipt as collateral, 9) security of the stored goods, 10) insurance for the stored goods, 11) WRS to solve issue related to capital, 12) WRS facilities, 13) WRS services, 14) time allotment to publish warehouse receipt, 15) storage procedures, 16) institution/ individual associated to WRS. The study was conducted in six districts, Sampang, Probolinggo, Situbondo, Madiun, Nganjuk, Tuban. The data analysis was Likert scale. Item 14 had the highest result with total score of 116 (64.4%) It meant the respondents (farmers) understood they had to wait 1 or 2 days between storage process and publishing the receipt. Item 16 had the lowest result with total score of 84 (46.7%) meaning the respondents quite understood that warehouse manager, financial institution (bank) and quality control staffs were people involved in the management of WRS. Having obtained the data from farmers that did not use WRS it was found that item 7 had the highest score (177 or 59%). It implied that the respondents quite understood that grain, corn and rice were the types of commodities that they could store in the warehouse. However, most of the respondents were not aware that they could store other commodities such as coffee, chocolate, and salt in the warehouse.
