Utilización de Simulación de Eventos Discretos para analizar una propuesta de mejora en los costos de almacenamiento

Abstract

Prolonged storage in any company is a problem, because it increases the costs of using the warehouse, in addition, merchandise that is stored for a long time can be damaged, which why this study it is planned. Where is shows the implementation of a simulation models in the storage process of a mobile technology marketing company, with the aim of proposing improvements that reduce the current costs of the system. This, 3 products with the highest turnover were selected. It used Arena® software to model the system from historical data of the demands and the orders made in the previous periods. After applying the model, it was found that a good strategy to reduce costs is to modify the quantity request, more specifically to increase that of products 1 and 2, and reduce that of product 3. The results showed that the biggest inventory stock out are of the first two products. Therefore, different alternatives were proposed for each one of the products; Therefore, it is concluded that proposal 1 is the most recommended to use, due since it is not very invasive and does not affect the relationship of customers and suppliers.
