Montagem de cargas e sequenciamento de caminhões em um centro de distribuição

Abstract

The supply chain management had become a key factor for the success of organizations in todays dynamical markets. Speaking on strategies for logistics planning, the Distribution Centers (CD) performance are of critical importance. This dissertation focuses on optimization problems raised in daily operations of a CD. It is based on a real case of a major steel company. More specifically, the work focuses on the process of picking up and shipping products to clients. Thus and with the objectiveof optimizing this operations, the problems of assembling the cargo and scheduling the trucks are formulated. As first attempt, the problems will be considered independently. A mathematical model is proposed for assembling of the cargo and the well-known Johnson algorithm is used to solve the scheduling problem modeled as a Flow-Shop. Finally, research directions are presented and discussed.
