Rediseño para la configuración de espacios físicos de la bodega de almacenamiento de materia prima en la empresa Albacora S.A.S.

Abstract

This design project shows the main problems faced by a company of the paper sector of Cali in terms of the distribution of physical spaces in its storage warehouse. Throughout the document, due to these situations, improvements and corrections are proposed, addressed by industrial engineering methods in order to achieve the goals and objectives proposed for the improvement. The current situation in Albacora S.A.S. shows certain characteristics in the raw material storage process present which reveals some problems of standardization, order and uses of effective spaces in the warehouse that generates delays and reprocesses in the activities carried out. In this way, using quantitative and qualitative tools such as pareto diagrams, time analysis, route diagrams, Ishikawa, among others, the weightiest alternative was chosen according to a hierarchical analysis carried out by the team together with those interested. This, in order to redesign the configuration of the physical space of the storage warehouse and that way establish a standardized method for storing batches of rolls that arrive as raw material in an appropriate way. Once the selected distribution alternative has been determined, the positive impact of its application is validated by analyzing each KPI indicator proposed and developed throughout the document, confirming that it is the most profitable, complete and adaptable for the good development and application in the company.
