Abstract

In the present work, the supply and storage management analysis for a supplier company in the automotive sector is carried out. The main objective is to identify possible proposals for improvement in the supply chain by enhancing processes and decision-making in internal logistics processes. The proposed automated analysis is based on consolidating the requirements through an inventory policy with safety stock, a fixed review period, and the development and application of models implemented in a dynamic template in MS Excel to support operational decision-making. This tool will automatically allow the vehicle selection depending on the supply week and according to the actual operating restrictions of weight and volume. Also, it will automatically generate the number of standard packages to be filled and the maximum amount needed in the safety stock. Another relevant point discussed within the evaluation of the procurement policy is the suitability of the standard packages for procurement from demand, which can be considered a critical point in the negotiation process with the client.
