“…El ingeniero Ohno enumeró siete formas de desperdicio: la producción excesiva, los defectos, el almacenamiento innecesario, los procesos superfluos, el transporte excesivo, la espera y los movimientos que carecen de propósito (De Jesus Pacheco et al, 2023;Rother y Shook, 1999). Por consiguiente, es necesario para el funcionamiento adecuado de una empresa estas actividades, aunque no generen un valor directamente al producto final, puesto que son indispensables para que el proceso de producción se lleve a cabo de manera eficiente y efectiva.…”

La metodología Lean Manufacturing reúne una vasta gama de herramientas que todas las empresas incluidas las PYMES (Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas) pueden disponer para potencializar su competitividad y reducir los malos hábitos que generan desperdicios. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar un diagnóstico del proceso productivo en las industrias del plástico a partir de la herramienta Value Stream Mapping de los autores Rother y Shook (1999), con la finalidad de identificar las causas relacionadas con el desperdicio de material y aportar estrategias de mejora. El enfoque es cualitativo, apoyándose de la observación no participante para el estudio de tiempos y movimientos; y de la entrevista semiestructurada aplicada a trabajadores de la línea de producción para explorar la causa raíz de los desperdicios. Los resultados arrojan que el origen principal del desperdicio es el desconocimiento puntual de la ejecución de las tareas por el personal en al menos tres de cinco áreas del proceso. Se concluye con una propuesta del futuro del proceso de producción, a la vez que se apoya de las 5s.

“…A representative overview of the entire warehouse VAS can be achieved by using the Pareto rationale. The Pareto principle is employed to mathematically define the most important issues in warehouse activities (De Jesus Pacheco et al 2023). The 80/20 rule is one of the most effective guidelines in warehousing operations, as well as many other corporate activities.…”

“…Although VAS are important in warehouses, many 3PLs do not operate or perform to their full potential since they participate in several non-VAS activities. In this instance, nonvalue-adding activities produce various forms of operational waste because they neither improve warehouse performance nor customer pleasure (De Jesus Pacheco et al 2023). As a result, finding and eliminating operational waste in warehouses has emerged as a major obstacle to improving efficiency of warehouse operations and supply chains (Baghizadeh et al 2022;De Jesus Pacheco et al 2023).…”

The study aims to analyse warehouse value-added services (VAS) data for a third-party logistics (3PL) service provider, which leads to identifying service improvements and cost-cutting opportunities in performing VAS for clients using Pareto analysis as a quality tool. Using a case study approach, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from a leading 3PL firm in Belgium. The approach is conducted by applying major steps of Pareto analysis. Two pharmaceutical products were analysed according to medical general classification, namely narcotic analgesics (NA) and ophthalmic antihistamines and decongestants (OAD). The results showed that the Pareto principle is proven in the NA—ticketing case, and five activities consumed 83.3 percent of the total time of VAS operations. Furthermore, in the OAD—display case, the Pareto principle is proven and six activities were validated as they accounted for 81.26 percent of the total time of primary VAS operations. The study recommended a solution to each of the four causes of delay, including lack of training/best practices, inefficient space utilization, lack of automation, and lack of cohesiveness and planning. Despite the recognized importance of avoiding warehouse operation inefficiencies, the literature lacks studies applied to practice, and few contributions exist regarding analysing 3PL service providers’ warehousing VAS operations data. This study identified all VAS activities for temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products. Moreover, the study proposes a warehouse operations improvement framework for non-automated 3PL warehouses and guides managers through Pareto analysis to cut costs and improve service level.

“…On the other hand, business managers have a basic understanding of management strategies that, when applied, will improve the way they run stores, which in turn will increase sales and profitability for their companies. [2] In the commerce sector, there are few distributor companies that have presented innovations in their warehouses due to process analysis and costs. This problem is repetitive in the Peruvian market with all the competition.…”

According to recent research, the application of engineering approaches in distributors in the commercial sector needs to be improved. Likewise, there is evidence of a growing need for the analysis of processes in warehouses in order to reduce activities that do not generate value to increase profitability in companies. In the current study, a food distribution company was examined and a distribution system model focused on solving problems in the warehouse due to waste generated in each process was suggested. The main problem was identified as food losses in the storage area and a suitable solution was suggested to address it. For this, cross contamination must be reduced in the storage process and thus reduce the amount of products lost due to contamination of moisture products and reduce products lost due to improper location of products. Likewise, the amount of expired products in the picking process must be reduced. Finally, errors in the packing process must be reduced with standardized packing and stacking methods. Using the Lean Warehousing methodology, an improvement model was presented based on the integration of tools such as Slotting for Warehouse Control, Kanban, FEFO for perishables control, PokaYoke and Standard work for method error control. Currently, the company proposes a 6.65% reduction in losses in warehouse management and 3% is considered a limitation according to the literature.
