Weetabix replaced a legacy system that could not track exact pallet locations across two distribution centers holding 35,000 pallets. Manhattan Warehouse Management for Open Systems was implemented in two phases, first establishing core WMS functions then activating task interleaving. Results include 99.89% location accuracy, elimination of manual month-long stock counts, enforcement of FIFO rotation, and measurable reduction in forklift travel time.

Key takeaways

Location-level inventory accuracy rose from below 90% to 99.89% after go-live.

Task interleaving reduced empty travel and eliminated separate return-to-base moves.

Cycle counting became continuous and exception-based rather than a dedicated monthly project.

FIFO enforcement cut finished-goods waste from expired or hidden stock.

Full traceability from production through shipment supports rapid customer query resolution.
