Propuesta de mejora en los almacenes de la empresa florícola Agrivaldani s.a. mediante herramientas de mejora continua

Abstract

The main objective of this project was to develop an improvement proposal for the inventory system of maintenance supplies in the flower company Agrivaldani S.A., focused on solving the physical disorder and optimizing the organization of materials. For this purpose, a detailed analysis of the box, fumigation and foil warehouses was carried out, evaluating the reception and dispatch times of the products. This study revealed that storage disorder and the absence of labeling made it difficult to locate materials, increasing search times and operating costs. Once the lack of order was identified as the root cause, lean manufacturing tools applicable to the company's warehouses were investigated. The 5S methodology was selected to ensure a clean and organized work environment, and the Kanban system was selected to improve visual inventory control and materials management. The improvement proposal included the reorganization of space through shelving and proper labeling to facilitate the distribution and location of materials. In addition, real-time controls and visualization were implemented for efficient inventory management. The application of the 5S methodology sought to maintain an orderly and safe work environment, complemented by a detailed manual. Finally, the adoption of the Kanban system aimed to optimize inventory control and material replenishment. In conclusion, the implementation of these strategies is expected to significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce the costs associated with inventory management at Agrivaldani S.A.
