“…From another perspective, Lean Warehouse has been used for many years to optimize a company's internal logistics. Likewise, several components such as competitiveness, globalization and the more limited life cycle of the item requires companies to implement more economical and efficient manufacturing techniques [8]. Accepting the use of the Lean tool means that the elements encompassed by this tool are respected, both in commercialization and in all the procedures that are executed in the company, likewise, the use of Lean Warehousing is precisely for the processes that are areas that are more likely to originate waste or scrap.…”

The commercial sector represents a fundamental part of Peru's economy and has been growing exponentially in recent years. However, like any other sector, it is affected by various challenges that affect customer satisfaction, the impact of which has a direct effect on sales. Therefore, in this case study, a set of tools such as the 5S methodology, Kaizen and standardized work were defined, which will focus on the optimization of this indicator and the solution of its root causes. Likewise, the improvements were validated through a pilot test and the use of Arena software. The results obtained were positive, since there was a time reduction in the search for tools from 8 minutes to 4 minutes, and the cycle time decreased from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. The material shortage rate improved from 29% to 10% and finally the efficiency was maximized from 48.41% to 64%. All these results generated an increase from 87% to 94% in the main indicator, which is the service level. This research proposes a new model combining Lean Warehousing, Kaizen, 5S and Standard work applied in a kitchen commercialization company, which would help other companies in the same sector to optimize the picking and packing processes and increase the service level.It should be noted that there are not many case studies using these methodologies, so the aim is to disseminate and validate these methodologies in a new scenario.

The study employed a simulation based on a detailed dataset containing over 307,046 unique order identifiers and 1,050 unique product identifiers. This dataset included information such as order placement dates, product codes, quantities, and precise locations within the warehouse, including coordinates. The simulation modeled the order-picking route using the Single-Picker Routing Problem (SPRP) algorithms to minimize distance and travel time. The methods compared various wave-picking strategies and grouping methods (single-line and multi-line) for their effectiveness.The applied method significantly reduced the travel distance required by the order picker in the warehouse. The key to this optimization was consolidating orders into waves of specific sizes, achieving a fourfold distance reduction for the studied dataset. Additionally, the solution proposed grouping products by location within the warehouse, either in a single aisle or across multiple aisles based on proximity. Although this method often enhances efficiency, it did not in this particular case. However, it was included as it may yield better results with different datasets and further reduce travel distances in the warehouse. The research underscored the critical role of efficient routing and grouping strategies in warehouse operations. Although wave picking significantly reduced travel distances, the effectiveness of clustering strategies depended on the characteristics of the specific dataset, suggesting the need for tailored solutions based on the warehouse layout and the features of the orders. Future research could extend to integrating product volume and weight variations, which may further optimize order-picking strategies.

Logistics, as the management of material flow in the supply chain, plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient operation of the complete distribution network channel. Warehouse management systems (WMS) have become key IT logistics systems to facilitate this process, but managing system integrations across different industry levels and platforms can be complex. Hence, standardizing integrated system solutions used in WMS implementation is vital for logistics service providers, as investigated in this paper through a case study. Efficient management of material flow in the supply chain is crucial in logistics. Warehouse management systems have become critical IT logistics systems, integrated with external systems to enable accurate data exchange and collaboration between businesses. However, managing these integrations can be complex and time-consuming, requiring a standardized approach. A case study in a leading logistics company explores the feasibility and advantages/disadvantages of implementing standard integrated system solutions in warehouse management.
