The present invention consists of a Hewlett-Packard Unix-based server, client PCs, client RF (radio-frequency) terminals, and various other peripherals, running warehouse management software developed specifically for high-volume bakeries. Personnel, which include auditors, parkers, checkers, shippers and receivers, are equipped with real-time hand-held RF data terminals. The terminals display information, accept keyed entries, and scan bar codes on production lines, racks, warehouse and truck locations, trucks and products. The system has one server and multiple PC's associated with multiple production lines. The PC's provide information of product made, batch sequences, expected count, current count and batch complete. The auditor supplies racks to the production line and identifies planned racks, marks and places them for movement by the parkers to the shippers. The auditor receives unplanned racks of products, scans the bar code and places the unplanned racks in position for movement to the checkers. The checkers move product from unplanned production racks to shipping racks, scanning the bar codes of the wheeled racks and products and entering amounts as prompted by their terminals, move the completed shipping racks to the truck loading stations, scanning the bar code of the racks and the shipping position. The shippers scan the racks in the shipping position, scan the truck ID and, as prompted by their terminals, roll the racks onto the trucks, position the racks in predetermined positions as prompted, enter the rack position in the truck and scan the rack bar code.
