Distribución de instalaciones para la mejora del sistema de almacenamiento en la bodega de materias primas de la empresa de calzado Gamo´s

Abstract

The problem arises from the need to have a distribution of facilities that provides adequate spaces, properly distributed areas and a storage system according to the requirements of the company, since the current distribution of facilities is not adequate and generates problems in the logistic processes of storage. For the development of the project, the methodology of logistics diagnosis of warehouses and distribution centers was used to identify the current conditions of the warehouse, obtaining as a result deficiencies in floor quality, lack of loading-unloading docks, inadequate distance between aisles and lack of indicators, triggering problems in the processes of reception, storage and dispatch of raw materials, likewise, a categorization of products was made based on the level of consumption and analyzing the criticality of raw materials, identifying the most critical materials thanks to the use of tools such as: ABC, BOM and criticality matrix. On the other hand, the PRISMA methodology was used to obtain applicative criteria related to storage principles and distribution techniques that allowed the design of a new distribution of facilities with which a reduction of about 3,000 meters is foreseen, limiting internal movements by applying a heuristic allocation method. The estimated investment for the implementation is US$59.758,56 and an annual saving of US$1.779,32 is estimated, which represents 2.98% of the total investment, allowing a recovery of the investment in 33,6 months. Finally, the results are corroborated through the simulation of the storage logistics processes using FlexSim software.
