Delays in the time of preparation of orders in a warehouse of materials and construction tools affect delivery times, which affects the level of service and consequently the loss of customers. This, due to the waste in the existing system such as the lack of planning of the process inputs, inefficient procedures, lack of organization and total cleaning. Therefore, this document proposes the application of a Lean Model of picking based on Heijunka, Kanban, 5S and JIT techniques, to eliminate waste (time, movement and inventory). After proposing the improvements, support was made in a stochastic tool to validate the changes with respect to the current situation. Consequently, significant improvements were observed, particularly in the collector's load, reducing its load by 56.29%, eliminating the waiting times for requirements and increasing the orders served. This leads to the improvement of the productivity of the picking operation at 47.07%, resulting in timely deliveries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
