This document is about the warehouse operation manual of Volkswagen Mexico plant.
This is an internal procedure manual from Volkswagen Mexico's Nave Piloto (Pilot Plant) area, first edition May 2004, written so that all Nave Piloto personnel know how to use and manage the Pilot Plant warehouse. It defines the responsibilities of the Coordinator, the Facilitator, and the Warehouse Administrator: the Coordinator supervises warehouse administration monthly and announces material obsolescence two weeks in advance, the Facilitator compares ten database materials against physical stock weekly, and the Administrator executes the material flow procedure and removes soon-to-be-obsolete material.
The document includes a flow diagram for material requests, a step-by-step procedure for requesting and searching material, and instructions for the warehouse software, which was created in Visual Basic using an Excel database in the file INVENTARIOS(ING).xls. The software's Inventario toolbar offers Material Query, Add Material, and Unused Material functions to locate parts, record entries and exits, and view request history. It also covers record control using forms VWMNP-001 through VWMNP-004, monitoring of material usage frequency, change control, a distribution list, and annexes. This manual is written in Spanish.
The warehouse software was created in Visual Basic using a database built in Excel, in the file INVENTARIOS(ING).xls, with a toolbar offering Material Query, Add Material, and Unused Material options.
The Coordinator must supervise the warehouse administration once a month to ensure good material flow and proper documentation.
Once a week the Facilitator must compare ten materials in the database against the physically stored material to verify that entries and exits are documented.
The documents are valid for six months and are then destroyed.
