    Redistribución del almacén para mejorar la eficiencia en la preparación de pedidos mediante análisis ABC/XYZ y datos operativos
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Molina Moreno, Jaime Andrés; Ramírez Echeverri, Sergio Augusto
    This master's thesis proposes a method to improve logistical efficiency in industrial companies by reducing operational travel distances and increasing productivity in order picking processes. The proposed solution applies an ABC/XYZ classification based on historical data extracted from the ERP system of the case study company, considering both the economic value and the frequency of movement of items. This analysis was automated using a Python-based template executed in Google Colab, enabling the calculation of key metrics such as average picking time, number of order lines, and the distribution of items according to operational modality (storage or cross docking). The core of the proposal lies in a technical redistribution of the warehouse layout to position critical items in high-accessibility zones, thereby minimizing the distance traveled per order. Various operational improvement scenarios were simulated to forecast gains in daily capacity without increasing staff. The results show a 13.7% reduction in average travel distance per order and over 50% cost savings in operations under a 30% efficiency improvement scenario. The model is replicable, traceable, and highly compatible with warehouse management systems (WMS), providing tangible benefits for optimizing logistics processes in distribution centers.
