EBS WMS - Smart, System Driven Task Prioritization

Pick Release/Wave Planning process creates Warehouse Pick tasks. Assigning priorities to these tasks is typically a manual process. Given the high number of ever-changing parameters governing the priority of these tasks, this manual process can get cumbersome and prone to errors.

Purpose of Smart Task Prioritization feature is to eliminate any manual assignment of priorities. The feature will move all the complexity around Task Prioritization to a simple User driven Rules Framework.  This is the same Framework used by Customer to create their existing rules for Pick, Put away, Cost Group etc .

EBS WMS Rules Engine Framework will be extended to create a new Rule Type of 'Task Priority'.  This Rule type will allow users access to all possible attributes that can govern the Task Priority.  The Rules of 'Task Priority' will then modify the priority of each task based on the Customer's Business needs.  Once these tasks have been given a 'Smart, System driven' priority Customers can view those on the Warehouse Control Board. Manual override of these System Priorities will be allowed.
