Plan de mejoramiento logístico para los procesos de gestión de inventario, almacenamiento y despacho en una cadena farmacéutica.

Abstract

The objective of the logistics improvement plan for inventory management, warehousing and dispatch processes in a supply chain is to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of these key operations. By analyzing the current situation, weaknesses and bottlenecks are identified and clear and specific goals are established. The implementation of technology and information systems, such as warehouse management software (WMS) and ERP systems, improves automation and data visibility. For inventory management, a complete physical inventory is taken, an ABC classification system is implemented, and demand forecasting techniques are used. For warehousing and distribution, the warehouse layout is reorganized, the picking and packing process is optimized, and identification and tracking technologies are incorporated. Collaboration with suppliers and carriers is essential to establish clear agreements and improve coordination. Staff training and a culture of continuous improvement are key, as well as constant monitoring and feedback for periodic adjustments and improvements. In summary, this logistics improvement plan focuses on optimizing inventory management, warehousing and dispatch processes through actions such as analysis, technology, collaboration and continuous improvement.
