Development of operating procedures for warehouse management for the LTK´s Logistics Centre, Aeropolis, Seville (Spain).
¬ Via the use of flowcharts, the different logistics processes of LTK’s Logistics Centre at the Aerópolis Aeronautical Park in Seville are defined, described and developed.
¬ The study, put together in an operations manual, covers everything from the standard processes (reception, warehousing, picking and supply to the factory floor based on JiT) as well as all those contingency processes that may arise during daily operation (emergencies, rejections etc.) or processes specific to the aeronautical sector (cannibalisations, borrowing etc)
¬ From these operating procedures, the client’s own logistics resources and the information systems employed for the warehouse management, a study was carried out to improve the layout design of the warehouse based on the Lean concept.
