Integra indicadores individuais para que o LMS elabore quais os melhores treinamentos a serem aplicados a um colaborador, ent?o, vincule os dados do WMS com a compila??o adequada e alinhados aos indicadores de performance e humanos do colaborador, o sistema compreenderá se faz-se necessário um treinamento voltado mais ao perfil comportamental do colaborador ou focados em produtividade, além de possibilitar organizar reciclagens de processos dentro da plataforma.

2 Compare options

Once you have defined your needs, you can compare different options for a WMS and an LMS. You can look for vendors that offer both systems as a package or as separate modules. You can also look for systems that are compatible with your existing hardware, software, and network infrastructure. You can evaluate the options based on their functionality, scalability, flexibility, reliability, security, and cost. You can also ask for references, demos, and testimonials from other customers who have used the systems.

3 Test compatibility

After narrowing down your options, you need to test the compatibility between the WMS and the LMS. You can do this by conducting a pilot or a trial run with a sample of your data and processes. You can check how the systems integrate and interact with each other and with other systems, such as your ERP, TMS, or WCS. You can also verify how the systems handle data transfer, synchronization, validation, and reporting. You can identify and resolve any issues or gaps that may affect the compatibility.

4 Train users

Another important step to ensure compatibility between a WMS and an LMS is to train your users. You need to educate your warehouse staff, managers, and supervisors on how to use the systems effectively and efficiently. You need to explain the benefits, features, and functions of the systems, as well as the best practices, policies, and procedures for warehouse operations. You need to provide hands-on training, feedback, and support to help your users adapt and adopt the systems.

5 Monitor performance

Finally, you need to monitor the performance of the WMS and the LMS regularly. You need to track and measure the key indicators and metrics that reflect your warehouse operations, such as inventory accuracy, order fulfillment, labor productivity, cost per unit, and customer satisfaction. You need to analyze the data and reports generated by the systems to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. You need to make adjustments and improvements as needed to optimize the compatibility and efficiency of the systems.
