Supply Chain: SAP Label Printing
Misprinted labels come with a high cost. Identifying areas for improvement will help organizations build a comprehensive labeling strategy, helping them to become more competitive in today’s global market.
Label Printing Simply Defined
Labeling is a type of material that is affixed to an item providing information about the content and origin. The label usually draws data from an inventory management system to display specifications on the label. Standardized and centralized labeling solutions are emerging as a key component of a solution to reduce the cost of each label.
Supply Chain: SAP Label Printing
Misprinted labels come with a high cost. Identifying areas for improvement will help organizations build a comprehensive labeling strategy, helping them to become more competitive in today’s global market.
Label Printing Simply Defined
Labeling is a type of material that is affixed to an item providing information about the content and origin. The label usually draws data from an inventory management system to display specifications on the label. Standardized and centralized labeling solutions are emerging as a key component of a solution to reduce the cost of each label.
Why is Label Printing Important?
Labeling generates value from the supply chain network to improve efficiency and meet customer demands. When organizations extend label printing to partners and suppliers, they can avoid downstream errors and eliminate needs for relabeling. Because many supply chains have multiple facilities, it’s important they all follow the same standardized labeling process, leveraging the same data set. Organizations having their own digital label printer could enable relatively cheap labels leading to greater profit margins.
5 Ways Labeling Can Affect the Supply Chain
- Stocking: A centralized system where users oversee label data helps minimize errors.
- Recalls: Errors on labels can lead to product recalls.
- Warehouse: Establishing a good warehouse labeling practice can reduce the processing time for warehouses.
- Shipping: A misspelling, incorrect description, or empty field can be costly and hold a cargo shipment for weeks.
- Product details: Some countries, industries, and products have more strict regulations than others, but a violation in any of them can result in high fees.
Key Benefits of Label Printing are:
- Meet regulatory requirements
- Managing quality requirements
- Improve process efficiency
- Build process agility and resilience
As organizations look for ways to leverage technology to develop agile supply chains, centralized labeling capabilities are emerging as a key tool. A solution needs to be one that is dynamic, and data-driven, and automates labeling processes for global standardization.
Vendor partners for software solutions or operational intelligence include: SAP, BCC Distribution or Reveal.
