Warehouse logistics optimization at kencko

Abstract

This paper describes an in-company project performed to solve an organizational problem under the scope of management. This project was carried out in the areas of Warehouse and Inventory Management at kencko, a Portuguese start-up that reinvents organic fruit and vegetable products. The project’s research problem was related to a third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse used by kencko for its inventory storage. This research project summarizes in the optimization and documentation of the logistics processes between kencko and the 3PL and the evaluation of both parties’ performances regarding the recording of the inventory stored at the 3PL warehouse. For the research methodology, after a contextualization of the research project, an extensive literature review related to the matter in hand will be provided and used as the basis for information and data gathering to solve the research problem. A mixed research will be performed by gathering information and data through qualitative and quantitative methods. The analysis of this information will allow to make decisions on what solutions to develop and implement to optimize kencko’s relationship with the 3PL. The results from this in-company project were: the overall optimization of the inbound and outbound logistics processes regarding the 3PL warehouse; successfully performing the recording activities of inventory movements at the 3PL warehouse; the documentation of several 3PL-related processes; the evaluation of kencko’s and the 3PL’s inventory record accuracy, with satisfying obtained results. This research project created value to kencko as it solved an existing problem in the company’s routine and strategic operations.

Este documento descreve um projeto em empresa realizado para resolver um problema organizacional no âmbito da gestão. Este projeto foi realizado nas áreas de Gestão de Armazém e Inventário na kencko, uma start-up portuguesa que reinventa produtos biológicos de fruta e vegetais. O problema de pesquisa do projeto estava relacionado com um armazém de um operador logístico subcontratado (3PL) usado pela kencko para armazenar a grande maioria do seu inventário. Este projeto resume-se na otimização e documentação dos processos logísticos entre a kencko e o 3PL e na avaliação do desempenho de ambos no registo do inventário armazenado no armazém 3PL. Para a metodologia de pesquisa, após contextualizar o projeto, uma revisão bibliográfica relacionada com o assunto em questão será fornecida e utilizada como base para a recolha de informação e dados para resolver o problema de pesquisa. Será realizada uma pesquisa mista, recolhendo informação por métodos qualitativos e quantitativos. A análise desta informação permitirá tomar decisões sobre que soluções desenvolver e implementar para otimizar esta relação com o 3PL. Os resultados deste projeto foram: a otimização dos processos logísticos de entrada e saída de inventário do armazém 3PL; a realização correta das atividades de registo dos movimentos de inventário no armazém 3PL; a documentação de processos relacionados com o 3PL; e a avaliação da kencko e do 3PL na precisão do registo de inventário, com resultados satisfatórios obtidos. Este projeto criou valor para a kencko, pois resolveu um problema nas operações de rotina e estratégicas da empresa.
