Abstract

In manufacturing industry, supply chain management (SCM) is one of the sections which are equally important in ensuring the smooth of production process. It also must be integrated together with warehousing management system (WMS) as a distribution centre which is will consist of materials and inventory control before being distributed to assign workstation to be assembled which is focusing on automotive industry. There are few ways that has been recently practiced by the organisation in lead to well- managed of WMS which results in effective and efficient production operation process such as just-in-time (JIT) concept. This research has been conducted to discover the impact of well-managed warehouse system on production operation process and examine the process integration that involves in handling the parts distribution to production line in assessing the effectiveness of the system. In gaining the data, questionnaire is distributed as a technique to obtain the primary data that is full description of running process of WMS in automotive company to seek for understanding based on the current process flow of the WMS in the company and it has been analysed by using mono method that is quantitatively. The data is supported by the secondary data from the journal and previous research paper that based on performance in attaining the lean production process. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of the good WMS in automotive company totally will improve the efficiency of production process in producing their products instead of reducing the lead time and bottleneck that comes together with the application of an appropriate technology in their system to ensure the process can become lean. This will assure that the process in an orderly organize manner and has good flow of information between parties involves. Keywords: automotive industry, WMS, effectiveness, lean production process.
