Abstract

The present investigation has the objective of applying lean logistics to increase the productivity of the supply warehouse of a fish canning distribution company; under this concept, the pre-experimental design methodology is established, while the chosen sample is the articles in the supply warehouse composed of 40 different types of articles and stored for the study period from October 2023 to April 2024. The initial results showed a high rate of non-compliance amounting to 44% and several activities that do not generate value due to the shortage of materials, which is why productivity did not exceed 0.23 requests per man hour; under this paradigm, 5 of the Lean tools were implemented based on the most frequent problems; with this, productivity was increased to a maximum of 0.28 requests per man hour and a bilateral sig that proves the hypothesis. It is concluded that lean logistic tools increase productivity in the company when inherent waste from management is eliminated.
