Abstract

The publishing sector in recent years experienced problems in the supply of its main raw material due to its scarcity, paper, considerably affecting production and meeting market demand, generating losses for SMEs in the sector. Based on this, reducing the levels of raw material stock breakage was essential to be able to meet customer demand. Therefore, this research has as its main objective to improve the rate of stock breakage of raw material in a publisher, which is currently 22%, being higher than that of the sector which amounts to 12%. In this sense, a model based on the Lean Logistic and SRM methodology is proposed, applying a demand-based planning system (DDMRP), supplier relationship management (SRM) and standardized work. The application of the model manages to reduce by 16.04% the rate of breakage of raw material stock.
