In today's era of rising environmental concerns and increasing focus on sustainability,
organizations across industries are striving to reduce waste and improve efficiency in their
operations. This study explores the potential benefits of implementing SAP Extended
Warehouse Management (EWM) software to streamline and optimize warehouse processes, thereby resulting in waste reduction. By leveraging SAP EWM's advanced features, such as inventory management, order fulfillment optimization, and real-time visibility, organizations can effectively eliminate unnecessary inventory holding costs, minimize stockouts, and improve overall warehouse productivity. This abstract discusses the
key functionalities of SAP EWM that can be utilized to identify and address various waste
types, including excess inventory, obsolete stock, material handling inefficiencies, and
operational bottlenecks. More specifically, this study investigates how SAP EWM, a
comprehensive warehouse management solution, can assist in streamlining processes and
monitoring inventory levels to minimize wastage of machine oil in warehouses. The significance of integrated technology systems in achieving waste reduction goals, emphasizing the potential benefits of using SAP EWM in warehouse operations, is also highlighted
in this research. By embracing SAP EWM as a powerful tool for waste reduction, organizations can significantly enhance warehouse operations, reduce ecological footprints,
and contribute to a sustainable future. Finally, this study examines an organization responsible for electricity distribution to reveal the structure and efficiency of systems
within this domain, with a particular emphasis on electronic waste management. Further-
more, it explores the implementation of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
to improve the spatial and quantitative management of waste. The research seeks to understand the interaction of these systems and their contribution to a more effective waste
management strategy, thereby optimizing processes in both electricity distribution and
electronic waste handling.
