This year’s conference features nine customer case study presentations, giving customers an opportunity to share the cool things they’re doing with their HighJump solutions. John B. Sanfilippo and Sons (JBSS), the makers of Fisher Nuts, presented this afternoon on how they use the HighJump WMS warehouse management system to manage its manufacturing operations and allergen and contamination prevention.
Keeping the nuts from comingling is serious business, and the HighJump WMS enables JBSS to enforce a strict allergen control program, including put away logic by nut type. For example, the system doesn’t allow a worker to put away any nut that isn’t an almond on top of an almond. These specific rules prevent contamination of allergens.
The system also enables work order processing and picking in the company’s manufacturing operations. The system tracks the nuts all the way from the supplier through the manufacturing and distribution process.
Thomas Kirkham, Director of Systems Implementations, John B. Sanfilippo & Sons, Inc, highlighted the following benefits from implementing HighJump Warehouse Advantage.
· Reduced physical inventories from quarterly to annually
· Inventory accuracy over 99% - up from 80%
· Service levels up from 90% to 99.5%
· Picking efficiency increased 50% and rising
· Inventory levels at record lows
· Audit scores have increased
· Food safety has become a selling point
