Resumo: | ||||||||
Nowadays, in a competitive business environment, when the
information of
technology is well used it becomes of a great value among
companies that search
for excellence in customer relationship attendance.
Therefore, more and more
often, the companies are searching for alternatives to
ease the management of
activities, increasing control, reducing costs and getting
important information
that can result in quicker decisions and consequently
improve the level of the
service. Recently, the WMS is being implemented in general
by the biggest
logistics operators. A Booz Allen & Hamilton´s research in
partnership with the
Center of Studies in Logistic in 2001 (CEL-Coppead)
evidenced that up to 50% of
the logistic operators have already been using this
technology (Costa et al., 2001).
Due to the growth of WMS use and the possibility for the
author to participate in
an implementation of this technology in a company during
her Master Research,
the objectives of this work are: to map the operation of
the Alpha Company´s
Distribution Center (DC) before WMS implementation; and
analyze the WMS
implementation process in a DC that is in operation. Since
the author was part of
the team in the implementation of WMS in the Alpha
Company, the methodology
used for the elaboration of this work included:
bibliographical research, visits in
loco to the Alpha Company´s DC and non structuralized
interviews with the
involved parts in the operation. As a result of this work,
we have an analysis of
the operation before and during the implementation of the
WMS in line with the
main results of the simulations, given that until the
present moment, due to
strategic changes in implementation chronogram the WMS
still has not become a
reality in the Alpha Company.
