Abstract

In the sugar sector, companies have difficulties in transporting their merchandise, since claims are generated for damaged products. To identify the factors that drive this problem, an analysis of the transportation stage in this area was elaborated, specifically of the practices that are currently used in the sector, to determine the possible causes for this problem. This research is based on the reevaluation of the practices currently used in the loading process, providing a new method that can reduce and eliminating losses due to damaged product. Likewise, the most optimal organization of the goods inside the container was determined and the implementation of a prototype of stowage bags was proposed, which is capable of providing stability to the goods inside the container, allowing companies to save time in their operations.
