Abstract
Introduction. Loading in dispatching operations is a
critical process to make the deliveries efficiently and to contribute to the satisfaction of the clients´ needs.
Objective. To use the technique of experimental
design optimization called response surface
methodology, in order to reduce the time required to
load in the dispatching operation, thus contributing to
make the Distribution Center (CEDI) more efficient.
Materials and methods. A four stages methodology
focus is used, including aspects such as description
of the company, the logistics system, the CEDI and
the adaptation of the response surfaces methodology,
supported by the use of the Minitab 15® statistical
software in the dispatching operation. Results. A
methodology based on that of the response surface
is obtained, not only contributing to the state of the art
through the improvement of CEDI, but also creating
a tool applicable in companies because in the case
developed in a meat production company, it reduced
the time from 10 to 6.5 minutes, approximately,
guaranteeing optimal working conditions.
