Abstract

The present project, gives a brief and generalized idea of the current situation of the country’s manufacturing sectors, mainly, cardboard sector and its situation in the city of Cuenca. Subsequently, the structure of the company is shown and detailed. A theoretical support is provided in the first chapter, which the reader can find basic and specific definitions, very important for the entire understanding of this work. There is a logistical analysis of the current situation of the company. Its finished product distribution system is described, detecting its failings in every stage that comprises it. In addition, a transportation costs analysis for the period 2009-2018, was made, offering a general and approximate perspective of the money that the company spent wasting the maximum capacity of the vehicles throughout this period. This situation is measured through rates that directly analyzes the use and non-use of vehicle capacity, costs and the efficiency of the company in transport management. In the last chapter, a solution is offered to the shortcomings that were previously diagnosed, a new logistics management system for the distribution of finished products is proposed, in which new rates are offered, a new vehicle classification for the allocation criteria for shipping of orders and also a simple volumetric system that allows identifying the ideal position of the packages to make the most of the capacity of the vehicles when sending orders. Finally, it proposes rates that will measure the most important aspects of transportation, such as: use and non-use, costs and efficiency of the company.
