Optimization and improvement of the goods loading process in the transportation units

Abstract

This research work was carried out with the objective of optimizing and improving the process of loading the goods transported in a commercial company of industrial products, where it was required to diagnose the area of shipments or departures, pointing out the current problems of the company through from an Ishikawa diagram, Later the stages of the loading process were identified by taking and recording the times taken, Likewise; The items with the highest turnover and their characteristics were recorded, by reviewing historical loads, proceeding to the taking and recording of volumetric dimensions measurement in the; load units, to the packaging or boxes and wooden pallets with the support of a flexometer and the use of Hopewell Autocube 8200 (Volumetric measurements), through the use of AutoCAD some load simulations were carried out, comparing and identifying the empty spaces that They were left due to poor arrangement, managing to optimize them by increasing the amount of cargo and thus preventing the goods handled from being damaged during transport, in addition, an improvement was obtained in the completion times of the stages of the registered process under constant supervision.
