Authors: Aurelija Burinskiene
Abstract
Nowadays the great attention has to be paid to logistics. Theoretical analysis shows the need to improve logistics system. This encourages the search for solutions during warehouse operations. Aiming to determine possible improvements, the operations of forklifts are examined in warehouses. The study consists of two parts in the first part of the study possible improvements are analysed, in the second part - the financial evaluation of suggested improvements are presented. The application of simulation method is presented in the first part of the study, the use of the comparative and financial analysis methods - in the second part of the study. Simulation results were compared with the results of companies, applying such solutions. This showed labor productivity increased from 27% to 37%. Continuing the investigation, the assessment of financial value is presented. The solution describing how to improve logistics system, gives time savings around 12.5% and cost savings around 9%. The presented results resemble to the results reached in practise.
