Resumen

This study proposes an integrated logistics improvement model aimed at optimizing the inventory and distribution processes of an electrical products distribution company. Previous research on logistics performance has shown progress through the isolated use of tools such as demand forecasting or layout redesign; however, the systematic integration of industrial engineering techniques remains limited in companies of this type. The model developed incorporates ABC classification combined with Holt-Winters demand forecasting to reduce obsolete stock, RFID technology to improve inventory accuracy and traceability, and the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) methodology to optimize internal material flows. In addition, complementary strategies were implemented, including delivery routing through the Clarke-Wright VRP algorithm and Autonomous Maintenance (TPM) for the vehicle fleet. The validation was conducted through simulation and pilot testing. The results show an increase in the OTIF indicator from 54.6% to 84.27%, demonstrating the technical feasibility of the model. In conclusion, the integration of engineering tools and digital technologies significantly enhances logistics efficiency, delivery reliability, and overall supply chain competitiveness.
