Abstract

This study addressed the problem of low productivity in the storage area of a trading company, where the current daily production is 1700 bags, contrasted with the current demand of 2205. This discrepancy revealed a bottleneck that limits the operational efficiency and competitiveness of the company in the sector. The applied methodology presents a mixed and descriptive approach, the synthesis analysis method was applied for the development of a 3-phase methodology: The first corresponds to an analysis of loads and capacities, the second phase develops a time study with timing and the third phase offers the economic cost-benefit analysis. To cover the demand in the activity of estiva, the acquisition of a forklift of 1.8 tons dual muth. is proposed, before the alternative of hiring personnel; which allows an improvement of the use of the installed capacities and establishes the study of times and movements as a valid tool for the standardization of processes and improvement of the productivity.
