In management, enterprise architecture (EA) is the art and science of enterprise design. The hope for enterprise architecture is that applying systematic rational methods to the design of an enterprise will produce one that more effectively and efficiently pursues its purposes. In order word enterprise is any collection of corporate or institutional task- supporting functional entities that have a set of common goals or a single mandate. In this context, an enterprise is, but is not limited to, an entire corporation, a division or department of a corporation, a group of geographically dispersed organizations linked together by common administrative ownership, a government agency (or set of agencies) at any level of jurisdiction, a group of government agencies, and so on. This also encompasses the concept on an extended enterprise, which is a logical aggregation that includes internal business units of a firm along with partners and suppliers (sometimes customers are also considered part of an extended enterprise).

The proper functioning of warehouse processes is fundamental for operational improvement and overall logistic supply chain improvement. Order picking is considered one of the most important from the group. Throughout picking orders in warehouses, the presence of human work is highly reflected, with the main goal to reduce the process time as much as possible, that is, to the very minimum. There are several different order picking methods, and nowadays, the most common ones are being developed and are significantly dependent on the type of goods, the warehouse equipment , etc., and those that stand out are scanning and picking by voice. This paper will provide information regarding the dairy industry in the Republic of Croatia with the analysis of order picking process in the observed company. Overall research highlighted the problem and resulted in proposals of solutions.

In this paper we approach a typical warehouse problem that is common to most industrial businesses, were efficiency is given by the best arrangement of items in the warehouse (slotting) and the best picking routes selected for each order (picking). Yet, when implementing picking and slotting optimization techniques, the information used is historical data that, in most cases, would fail to work given the many factors that affect daily warehousing operations. On the other hand, simulation models have been used to make virtual scenarios of a warehouse and can predict, with some accuracy, what would happen if a specific decision was made, but these models also fail to work, due to the fact that the data collected is not a reliable one. Given the complexity of most warehouses, we have designed a Warehouse Management System (WMS) that functions dynamically with real-time data, through the use of RFID technology and the integration of simulation and optimization models.
