consists of two modules:
Sermod and Opmod
|
|
|
|
|
| |
SERMOD
(Server Module)
Is an internet/intranet communications hub. A
data base repository. An information handling
and forwarding system. A statistics analysis module.
It provides on-line cargo tracking/tracing and
on-line analytical processing of data.
|
|
OPMOD
(Operations Module)
Is a client/server module that handles all of
the operations and information needs at each facility,
namely:
Packing Houses: Berths, Stevedores
Inland Depots: Exporters/Importers
Port Terminals: Agents |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPMOD
registers inventory movements, merchandise location
inside a warehouse and merchandise status.
It generates the barcoded labels and documents to
identify items and processes.
Each OPMOD is an independent facility operations system
that does not depend on SERMOD for its operation.
Nevertheless, the information sent by OPMOD to SERMOD
allows the integration of the whole supply chain in
a single consolidated system.
