Implementing Lean Warehousing model to increase on time and in full of an SME commercial company: a research in Perú

The commercial sector currently has high demands for fast and accurate delivery of orders; however, there is a trend of increasing customer dissatisfaction that directly impacts product returns; this is mainly related to the logistics process of warehouse management. Therefore, a model was developed using the Lean Warehousing methodology and analysis tools, including Poka Yoke, 5S, Standard Work, Multi-criteria ABC, and Kardex. The case study is about an SME footwear importer and trader in Peru. A model was developed to improve the underperformance of correct and on-time delivery orders (OTIF). The research shows the improvement of the On Time index to 80.73%, In Full to 86.46%, and OTIF to 69.80%. The proposed model was implemented through a pilot and simulated through Arena software. This research demonstrates that the application of the Lean methodology together with analysis tools is viable for the improvement of processes in the warehouse area with optimal results, so this research can contribute as a guide to lay the foun- dations for improvement in SME trading companies with similar problems in the quality of delivery of orders, which by the growth they need to improve their level of service continuously

PROYECTA : Proyecto de Comunicación para el Desarrollo con mujeres trans de la Casona Colmena del Cercado de Lima durante la emergencia sanitaria en el 2020

Proyecto de Comunicación titulado “Proyecta”. Dicho trabajo se llevó a cabo en el curso Proyecto de Comunicación para el Desarrollo, para lo cual se trabajó con mujeres transgénero de la casona “Colmena” ubicada en Jr. Nicolás de Piérola del Cercado de Lima. La importancia de trabajar con este público se debe a su condición de población vulnerable, que por la discriminación, necesitan encontrar alternativas para lograr ingresos económicos. Ante este panorama, el proyecto busca abordar el problema desde un enfoque comunicacional participativo, teniendo como objetivo general el visibilizar el sentido de comunidad de las mujeres trans a través de la implementación de una estrategia de comunicación organizacional a nivel interno que resalte sus atributos como Casona Colmena. Para ello, el proyecto se basó en 4 fases y 4 estrategias relacionadas en lo intrapersonal, lo interpersonal, el fortalecimiento del sentido de comunidad y la apropiación de estrategias de comunicación organizacional a nivel interno. Esta propuesta busca ser replicable en las 6 casonas trans que se encuentran en el Centro de Lima, para facilitar la exposición de sus necesidades y el logro de oportunidades. Por lo tanto, “Proyecta” permite quebrar el círculo de discriminación, al potenciar el reconocimiento y logro de oportunidades diferenciadas del trabajo sexual.This research proposes the diagnosis, design and application of two activities of the Communication Project "Proyecta". This was carried out within the framework of the Communication for Development Project course, for which we worked with transgender women from the “Colmena” house located in Jr. Nicolás de Piérola in Cercado de Lima. The importance of working with this public is due to the fact that they are a vulnerable population that, due to discrimination, needs to find alternatives to achieve economic gains. Against this background, this project seeks to address the problem from a participatory communication approach, with the general objective of making the sense of community of trans women visible through the implementation of an internal organizational communication strategy that highlights its attributes as Casona Colmena. For this, the project is based on 4 phases, 4 strategies, based on the intrapersonal, the interpersonal, the strengthening of the sense of community and the appropriation of organizational communication strategies at the internal level. This proposal seeks to be replicable in the 6 large houses that are located in Cercado de Lima. This is to facilitate the presentation of their needs and the achievement of opportunities. Therefore, the project allows breaking the circle of discrimination, by promoting the recognition and achievement of differentiated opportunities of sex work
