Improvement Proposal for the Reduction of Time in Reception and Picking Processes through Systematization in a Logistics Operator.

In the supply chain, every logistic process is important, from the beginning of the production process until the product reaches the final customer, but one of the most relevant is the storage of these products, because if there is not an adequate storage or an inadequate control of SKUs, this can generate a very large loss at an economic level in the company. In this scientific article a diagnosis of a logistics operator which distributes and stores pharmaceutical products was made, in this diagnosis it was detected that there were certain deficiencies in the processes of receiving and picking and could be made an implementation of tools to optimize these same within the operator. The selected tools were a WMS, barcode, HandHeld and ringscanner; with these tools the times in the logistics activities mentioned above improved significantly, increasing productivity in time and giving the company greater responsiveness in orders and control of all SKUs, evidenced by a simulation in the software "Arena".
