ANALYSIS OF FORMAL TECHNIQUES IN ORDER OPERATIONS IN A CEDIS 3PL OF FINISHED PRODUCTS

Abstract

In the supply chain, international, national and local companies currently have specified in their logistics operation. This research provides discussion and analysis on the different formal techniques on sequencing, batching, routing and optimization in 3PL systems. This paper identifies analysis strategies and trends that describe the different approaches in order preparation, analysis approach and solution methods. The picking problem is considered, through a literary and comparative review to identify a logistics strategy, with the purpose of considering the design that best fits the context. The purpose of this proposal is to analyze the formal techniques that allow obtaining a logistics strategy to establish various operating scenarios that can simulate processes for cost minimization, on-time deliveries and quality assurance, through formal techniques (algorithms) that define solving the order preparation problem, by optimizing the picking problem in the CEDIS.
