3.3 Need or problem found

Among the various needs or opportunities for improvement in logistics operations
found during the visit to the company APIX Logistics and in which
we will focus the project development on improving the times of
operation, this is due to the fact that at this moment in the warehouse of this logistics operator
they are experiencing significant delays in terms of preparation, loading, and unloading

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

4.1 Logistics
It is defined as the work required to move and place inventory throughout the
supply chain. As such, logistics is the process that creates value through the
opportunity and inventory positioning Logistics is the combination of the
order management, inventory, transportation, storage, handling
of materials and the packaging integrated throughout the network of a plant.

Integrated logistics serves to link and synchronize the overall supply chain.
as a continuous process and is essential for the effective connectivity of the chain
supply. Although the purpose of logistical work has essentially remained
untouched for decades, the way it is done continues to change in a way
radical. (Donald J. Bowersox, David J. Closs and Bixby Cooper).

Logistics has been developing since its beginnings in the military context;
but it was from the Second World War that it began to be taken into account
In the business world, it has been evolving from the management of flow of
materials to integrated logistics, to achieve clarity in the concepts of
logistics will take a look at the recent bibliography on the topic, going through the
logistics, production, storage and distribution. (Langley, C.J., 1986; Carrasco, J.
2000; Garcia, J.D, 2004; Trujillo, G.V, 2005

Logistics is increasingly playing a greater role in organizations as an element

key for improving the profitability and performance of companies and in the
economy due to its importance in the national and international goods market
and services (Stock, J & Lambert, D. 2000)

4.2 Storage Logistics

Storage is part of the logistics chain, it is an activity that is carried out
cable inside a warehouse that is defined as centers that facilitate activities
of reception, storage and dispatch and are known as distribution centers.

Storage is defined as placing the goods in the most suitable area of

warehouse, in order to be able to access it and locate it easily. For this, they use
internal means of transport (conveyor belts, elevators, carts) and means
fixed such as shelves, deposits, installations, supports, among others. (Escudero
Serrano 2014

4.3 Distribution Logistics

The logistics of distribution is better known as Physical Distribution of Goods.
According to Andrés Castellanos, it is defined as the set of operations necessary for the
transport of prepared products as cargo, from the place of production
or manufacturing in the exporting country to the importer’s location in the destination country,
under the concept of optimal quality, reasonable cost, and just-in-time delivery.
(Castellanos R, 2009)

4.5 Readiness
Order picking, also called picking, is a process in which from
a list of items, orders or location creates a route for pickup and dispatch
a certain amount of orders.

4.6 Types of enlistment

Within this process, there are several types that develop from the needs,
the space and what the company requires, some of these are:

a) Batch picking
This consists of preparing in a single order the requests for the same product, this
Destination preparation is grouped by order or by delivery location. This system is

reducing the distances to be traveled by employees and also minimizing the workload
manual.

b) Picked to box
The pick to box is about extracting the product directly from the location of
storage and immediate dispatch in your shipping boxes, thus it prevents the
displacement and the separation process for shipping.

c) Pick to light
In this system, each product has a specific location and when a is generated.
the order automatically lights up a light that helps the operator with the location
immediate product. Likewise, a screen shows the quantity of units.
required, the process is confirmed by turning off the light and moving the order to the area of
dispatches.

Voice picking
It is a simple system in which the operators receive through headphones
voice messages the instructions for each order and through a microphone the same
confirm the task is completed. This system is practical in that employees do not

4.7 Loading and Unloading of Goods

It is essential for loading goods to keep in mind each of the stages.
necessary for the process to proceed as required and established. One of these
stages is the planning within this it is necessary to be clear about the following
information

Arrival time of the trucks and the merchandise

Type of merchandise to be received
Peso
Volume
Space required
Authorized personnel
Companies involved

After this planning, we now proceed with the loading of the merchandise for

trying to avoid lumbar back pain as much as possible.
For this, it is very useful to employ loading techniques, which mainly refers to
how to lift and how much to lift in terms of weight.

It is necessary for the operators and employees to have a broad understanding that
material or element are being manipulated, this helps to avoid losses in materials due to
operational errors or even accidents involving hazardous substances.

5. Transport
Transportation refers to the movement of a product from one place to another in its journey.
from the beginning of the supply chain to the customer. (CHOPRA,
Supply chain management.
Transportation is defined as a system formed by multiple elements, with three being the
fundamentals, the infrastructure, the vehicle and the service company that comes to
constitute the previously mentioned activity. These elements are interrelated among

aspects and their typology.

From the above, we can conclude that transportation in logistics is any activity in the
that raw materials, work-in-progress products, and finished products are mobilized from
from their place of origin to the site where they are needed, taking into account their
security conditions, cost, and compliance.
