Abstract

Globalization has made the automations become increasingly feasible and with the technological development many operations can be optimized, bringing productivity gains. Logistics is a major benefit of all this development, because lives a time extremely competitive, in which being efficient is a requirement to stay alive in the market. Inserted in this context, this article seeks from the analysis of the processes in a distribution center, identify opportunities to automate operations to gain productivity and offer a better working conditions for employees.

Highlights

This article about automation and efficiency in the operational processes flows focused on a case study of a logistics operator
According to Guarnieri et al (2006), the growing demands of competitiveness in the market ensures that companies adopt methods, ways and more efficient equipment in order to significantly improve their productivity, as well as its quality in services
In this sense we can say that the logistics, to have a fundamental role contributes in a greater control of the activities of moving and storage, facilitating, for an efficient flow of goods, i.e., from the initial loading of materials from a supplier, until the sale of the manufactured product to the final consumer
