    Propuesta de mejoramiento del proceso logístico de alistamiento, almacenamiento y conformación de módulos para eventos en la Universitaria Agustiniana sede Tagaste a través de métodos y tiempos

    The objective of this research is to improve the logistical processes of preparation, storage and conformation of modules for academic and non-academic events held at the Augustinian University, Tagaste campus. Currently, the workers in charge of assembly and disassembly make long journeys with heavy loads, which increases operating time, occupational risks and physical exhaustion. By means of a quantitative methodology with a descriptive scope, with an experimental strategy and a cross-sectional sequence, a characterization of the process was carried out where the distances traveled, the time, the dimensions of the transported elements and their weights were measured. In addition, by means of a risk matrix based on GTC – 45, resulting in the greatest risk being biomechanical. Also, through a discrete simulation in FlexSim, the inefficiencies of the process were evidenced. Based on these results, strategies were designed to optimize storage, transportation and reduce risks, to improve efficiency and safety in the realization of these events in the institution.
