INTRODUCTION.
LOGISTICS HAS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE SUCCESS OF A COMPANY, ESPECIALLY IN AN ENVIRONMENT AS
COMPETITIVE AS THE CURRENT ONE AND THAT THIS IS ACHIEVED WITH THE CORRECT FULFILLMENT OF THE
PRIMARY TASKS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN WHICH HAVE AS THEIR MAIN OBJECTIVE; MEET THE EXPECTATIONS
OF CUSTOMERS IN TERMS OF SERVICE, QUALITY AND COST. THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE TASKS IMPLIES
ACTIVITIES THAT RANGE FROM THE SIMPLEST TO THE HIGHLY COMPLEX, AND THIS CONSEQUENTLY ALSO
GENERATES INTERACTIONS WITH ALL THE MEMBERS WITHIN THE SUPPLY CHAIN IN ORDER TO HAVE A
STABLE OPERATION. IN THIS PROJECT, A LOGISTICS DESIGN WILL BE PRESENTED TO CARRY OUT THE
DELIVERY OF POWDERED MILK FROM VALPARAÍSO, CHILE TO SHANGHAI, CHINA. CONSIDERING THE
PROCESSES, SHIPPING METHODS, WAREHOUSE DESIGN, CHOICE OF RAMPS AND FORKLIFTS, AS WELL AS
DISTRIBUTION AND AN IMPORTANT FACTOR, THE WEATHER FOR DELIVERY. ENSURING THE FINISHED
PRODUCT IN THE BEST CONDITIONS OF QUALITY AND SAFETY.

 PRODUCTION PROCESS.

IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE PRODUCTION OF THE POWDERED MILK THAT WE WILL EXPORT FROM
VALPARAÍSO, CHILE TO SHANGHAI, CHINA, OUR POTENTIAL SUPPLIER OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE ALL THE
LOCAL FARMS, WHICH WILL BE IN CHARGE OF SUPPLYING US WITH OUR DEMAND FOR SAID FUNDAMENTAL
LIQUID TO CARRY OUT THE PROCESS OF POWDERED MILK AND WHICH WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW:

3
THE FLUID MILK FROM THE COLLECTION ON LOCAL FARMS REACHES THE DRYING PLANT AND IS STORED IN
LARGE SILOS. PASTEURIZATION AND SEPARATION OF CREAM AND SKIMMED MILK ARE CARRIED OUT
THROUGH A CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR. IF WE WANT TO OBTAIN WHOLE MILK POWDER (LEP), A FRACTION OF
CREAM IS ADDED TO THE SKIMMED MILK LATER, STANDARDIZING THE FAT VALUE TO THE TYPICAL 26%. THE
REMAINING CREAM IS USED TO MAKE ANHYDROUS FAT OR BUTTER.

 HYDRAULIC RAMP.

WE DECIDED TO USE THE ALAPONT LOGÍSTICS STANDARD HYDRAULIC RAMP AS IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITS
STRENGTH AND SAFETY. IT IS THE FAST, ECONOMICAL AND EASY WAY TO MANEUVER TO OVERCOME THE
UNEVENNESS BETWEEN THE LOADING DOCK AND THE TRUCK FLOOR. IT HAS A FOLDING LIP THAT ALLOWS
THE PERFECT ADAPTATION OF THE LIP TO THE TRUCK.

6
IT HAS A 400V POWER SUPPLY AND IS THREE-PHASE. SOME OF ITS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS ARE
AS FOLLOWS:

•ANTICORROSIVE TREATMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

• HYDRAULIC GROUP WITH MOTORIZATION AND SELF-LEVELING.

• LIFTING CYLINDER WITH PARACHUTE VALVE.

• RESISTANT TO TEMPERATURES BETWEEN -20° TO 50°.

• ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL WITH WATER RESISTANCE.

•IS COMPOSED OF:

• ROBUST FOLDING CLAW AND REINFORCED HINGE.

• PLATFORM WITH 100 IPN BEAMS THAT GUARANTEE RESISTANCE.

• HINGED LIP CYLINDER THAT ENSURES MOVEMENT CONTROL.

• RELIABLE AND SAFE OPERATION.

• REINFORCED HINGES WITH BRACKETS.

LIFT TRUCK.
WE DECIDED TO USE THE ELECTRIC FORKLIFT SINCE IT IS THE MOST SUITABLE AND IT IS THE ONE THAT BEST
FAMILIARIZES ITSELF WITH FOOD PRODUCTS, SINCE IT DOES NOT DISCARD ANY CONTAMINANT FOR THIS
RANGE OF PRODUCTS.

SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS FORKLIFT IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST ALTERNATIVES THAT
DOES NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT, AS IT HAS A MOTOR THAT IS QUIETER AND DOES NOT CAUSE
HEARING DAMAGE TO WORKERS, IT HAS A BATTERY THAT HAS A MINIMUM LIFE OF 5 YEARS WHICH DOES NOT
GENERATE HIGH EXPENSES FOR THIS AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ITS CHARGE CAN BE CARRIED OUT AT
NIGHT WITHOUT CAUSING ANY DAMAGE TO THE CHARGING BATTERY.

WAREHOUSE OR WAREHOUSE DESIGN.

LIGHT-INDUCED DEGRADATION REACTIONS IN MILK CREATE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OFF-FLAVOURS, DECREASED NUTRITIONAL QUALITY AND THE SPEED AT
WHICH THESE PHENOMENA DEVELOP. LIKE MANY OTHER FOODS, MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS ARE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO OXIDATION, AS MENTIONED ABOVE. DAIRY PRODUCTS IN PARTICULAR ARE VERY SENSITIVE
TO LIGHT OXIDATION DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2).

Clase Tipo de pasillo Indicado para:

Rack de carga paletizada de menos de 18 m de altura, con pasillos muy

100 Muy estrecho
estrechos y operada por transelevadores controlados automáticamente

Rack de carga paletizada con pasillo muy estrecho, operada por

200 Muy estrecho transelevadores controlados automáticamente y con sistema de
posicionamiento adicional de las unidades de carga.

Rack de carga paletizada con pasillo muy estrecho, operada sólo por
montacargas que no tienen necesidad de girar en el pasillo para cargar o
300 Muy estrecho
descargar las unidades. Los montacargas están guiados a lo largo del
pasillo por guías mecánicas o de inducción.

El operario sube y baja conjuntamente con la unidad de carga y tiene un

posicionamiento manual en altura. Cuando el conductor se halla a nivel
300A  
del suelo, dispone de un circuito cerrado de visión o un sistema
equivalente.

El operario permanece siempre al nivel del suelo y no dispone de

300B  
dispositivos de visión indirecta.

Rack de carga paletizada con pasillo ancho, lo suficiente para permitir a

400 Ancho los montacargas giros de 90º a fin de efectuar las operaciones de carga y
descarga.

Rack de carga paletizada con pasillo reducido, que puede ser usada por
  Estrecho
montacargas más especializados.

DISTRIBUTION.
THE POWDERED MILK DISTRIBUTION METHOD WILL BE DONE BY SEA WITH AN ARRIVAL TIME OF ONE MONTH,
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF BOTH POINTS TO AVOID DELAYS AND SETBACKS WITH
REGARD TO PRODUCT DELIVERIES, THE REASON WHY SHIPS WILL BE SENT IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT
WHERE OUR MANUFACTURING PLANT IS LOCATED THERE ARE ONLY PORTS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING
MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, ETC. AND ALSO BECAUSE THIS TRANSPORT IS CHEAPER THAN A CARGO PLANE,
ALTHOUGH MORE FACTORS MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT TO PRIORITIZE THE CARE AND DISTRIBUTION OF
FOOD. THE SHIPPING DATES FROM VALPARAÍSO, CHILE TO SHANGHAI, CHINA WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END
OF JULY, BEGINNING OF AUGUST SO THAT IT ARRIVES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF AUGUST,
BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, SINCE A PREVIOUS ANALYSIS WAS CARRIED OUT ANALYZING THE CYCLONES
THAT CAN BE PRESENT AND DEVELOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA WITH THE INTENTION OF AVOIDING ANY
SETBACK AND DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT, THEREFORE DUE TO THE LATE SHIPMENT OF THE SAME,
SHIPMENTS WITH SAID POWDERED FOOD WILL BE DESTINED IN PRESENTATIONS OF 1 KG AND A HALF KG
ALSO BASED ON CONSUMER DEMANDS THAT ARISE IN CHINA.

CONCLUSION.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN LIES IN THE FACT THAT IT ALLOWS AN EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION
BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SECTORS THAT ARE PART OF THE SALES PROCESS OF A PRODUCT. IN OTHER
WORDS, IT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY SYNERGY FOR ENTITIES TO ACT IN A STRUCTURED WAY.

WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED ABOVE GIVES RISE TO THE FACT THAT WE CAN SAY THAT THE DELIVERY OF
POWDERED MILK TO SHANGHAI WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL, MAINLY BECAUSE THE WEATHER WOULD ALLOW IT,
SINCE WHEN ARRIVING BY SHIP WE CONSIDER THE POSSIBLE FORECAST CYCLONES, WHICH DO NOT EXIST.
IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT THE PRIMARY PACKAGING PROTECTS OUR PRODUCT, THE RAMP AND
FORKLIFTS ALLOW US TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANSPORTED PRODUCT REMAINS SAFE AND REACHES THE
CUSTOMER IN THE BEST QUALITY CONDITIONS. WHAT HAS BEEN LEARNED FROM THIS, AS A GROUP, IS THAT
LOGISTICS PLAYS A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE WHERE THE RECEPTION OF THE RAW MATERIAL MUST BE TAKEN
INTO ACCOUNT, UP TO THE POINT WHERE THE FINAL PRODUCT IS IN THE HANDS OF THE CONSUMER, AS
WELL AS ALLOWING THE EXPANSION OF THE BUSINESS. BY PROVIDING EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS TO
CUSTOMERS. THIS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR THE BRANCH OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, BY
ENSURING PROCESSES AND DELIVERIES.
