Mejora de los procesos logísticos de la empresa pinturas Condor, aplicando la metodología Lean Manufacturing (KANBAN).

Abstract

Throughout the industrial evolution, companies have been overcoming several internal and external obstacles to improve every day seeking to generate profitability, benefits to their employers and shareholders and reduce costs and environmental impact. For this reason, this macro panorama becomes micro in each area of its structures, but with the same objective, supporting each other divisions and areas in search of the same goal. For this reason, methods and processes of improvement have been found in the different fields that a company means for and committing its workers to find and apply them. The project was based on the improvement implemented through the KANBAN methodology to the supply planning processes of the company Pinturas Condor, for decision making by the analysts of the Order Management area, area in which sales orders and historical data are managed in order to supply other distribution centers located in several cities of the country. This improvement was specifically focused on providing an orderly, efficient, visual and fast management when analyzing coverage, sales, inventory quantities, shortages and updated stock, so that the work that was previously being done and that exceeded normal working hours (8 hours) is significantly reduced. It also contributed to not canceling sales due to lack of inventory in the different distribution centers, since previously all the inventory of this imported automotive product was centralized in Quito (National Distribution Center) and today, after the implementation of the improvement, it could be sent to several places according to their normal monthly sales. With this improvement application after the research and data collection, a better development was obtained with the improvement of the logistic and analysis, evaluation, planning and decision making processes of the area, improving the indicators supporting sales and therefore the profitability of the company by reducing unnecessary expenses and supporting the service provided by the company to its customers.
