Inventory Management
Ulysses Systems caring technology ensures Inventory Management is an integral part of Maintenance and Purchasing. Officers and engineers onboard and office managers can link spares consumption to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
With Task Assistant ® for Inventory Management, inventory onboard vessels is trustworthy to the last article and cent, and customers will not experience duplication of any spare part or store item. An intuitive user interface guarantees the ROB (Remaining-on-board) status of spares and stores is transparent. Onboard crew are able to report receipt of spares from purchase orders directly into their inventory locations.
The system provides inventory cost control capabilities via First In First Out, Last in First Out tagging and average value settings, significantly reducing the risk of inventory obsolescence.
Task Assistant ® for Inventory Management is also compliant with IHM standards.
Keeping on top of your inventory
Also, keeping on top of your inventory is straightforward. Because replenishment is recorded seamlessly at PO delivery and storage locations can be assigned at a later date. Practically, this means that busy crew members report item deliveries directly via POs to inventory locations when this is convenient.
First In First Out
The system also incorporates inventory cost control facilities using First In First Out, Last in First Out tagging and Average Value settings. This drives better management and ‘housekeeping’ as the oldest costs are the first costs of consumables to be taken from the balance sheet. As the system always ensures you consume the oldest spares first, you minimise the risk of wasted inventory or inventory becoming obsolete.
