Estudo para armazenamento compartilhado em centros comerciais.

Abstract

The city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, is recognized as a pole of excellence in logistics due to its strategically privileged location, sharing the distribution of the five largest Brazilian economic sources:. In addition, in 2010, a warehouse opened in the Manaus Free Zone, attracting a large number of investors, resulting in greater development of the economy and the municipal population. This advance entails obstacles to the efficiency of the delivery system in urban centers, such as: high vehicle density (which generates low fluidity at peak times), possible lack of safety in night deliveries, difficulty in maneuvering of freight vehicles, among others. This work focuses on the study of storage in large urban centers, especially a shopping mall in the city, observing and comparing the conventional system of delivery and storage with a new inventory-sharing system, using city logistics concepts, considering deliveries at fixed receptions known as docks. At the end of this work, we reached considerable results that indicated economic advantages of, on average, 15% in the case study exemplified, as well as better use of available physical space of the receiving pole. Another favorable point would be the greater bargaining power of the shopkeeper with the receiving pole and suppliers since, with the rental of stands for stocks, there is more space to store products, increasing the quantity of products, reducing the cost of freight per product.
