Análisis de la cadena de suministro de la Dirección de Abastecimiento de la Armada Nacional (DIABA) y restructuración de su centro de abastecimiento

Abstract

In a country that has faced an armed conflict for decades in which the geographical position is difficult to access and the points of control are remote, it is necessary to generate an optimal and effective distribution and storage system. A system in which answer times are immediate, required quantities are exactly equal to the ones sent by marines officers and suboficcers so that they can fulfill their functions. During the presidential period of Alvaro Uribe Vélez (2002-2010), joint commands were created and led to the incorporation of new staff year by year. This joint commands also implied a greater supply in terms of armament, bases, quartermaster and food. This study focuses in the supply of the Navy quartermaster, which analyzes the storage warehouse, the distribution process and optimization of physical resources of the Directorate of Supply Navy (DIABA for its acronym in Spanish). It also analyzes the optimization of the storage space in the warehouse in order to increase inventory turnover, control of the endowment and distribution within the warehouse using tools such as Flow-gram cause and effect, Lay-out, and circuit diagram.
