Implementation of a procedure to improve warehouse logistics

Abstract

The procedure developed allows self-assessment according to the level of certification chosen. Quality management tools are used, the application of which increases in complexity as excellence in product storage is sought. In addition, the aim is to test the adaptability of the applied tool and to analyze the data obtained from the different entities. Once the procedure is applied, it allows to analyze and improve the logistics of the warehouses in the studied entities. It is also carried out the survey of the logistics status of warehouses to initiate the implementation of logistics 4.0 in Cuban entities of products and services. This procedure incorporates the knowledge of logistics 4.0 to the tools, and highlights the importance of updating logistics processes. The research is applied: in the Central Ronera Agustín Rodríguez Mena, in the beverage and liquor warehouse of the hotel "Las Cuevas", in the UEB #1 Tabaco Torcido de exportación Santa Clara and in the warehouse of the commercial unit La Sandalia. The problem to be solved is to obtain the level of certification of the warehouse in the different entities according to the preceding level they had certified, allowing to check the adaptability of the applied tool and to analyze the data obtained from the different entities A procedure is offered to search, analyze and provide solutions to the problems faced by entities in countries with fewer resources in the process of achieving the objectives of logistics 4.0. Among the main limitations are: little knowledge of logistics 4.0 on the part of the workers and managers of the entities, as well as resistance to change on the part of the workers of the entities. The application of the selected procedure concludes with an analysis of the problems detected and proposed solutions to achieve the improvement of logistics in the warehouse so that it can be certified at the current level or at a higher level.
