producto terminado en la empresa Honduras American Tabaco S.A, siendo su principal rubro la
producción y exportación de puros hechos a mano, esto mediante la reestructuración de dicho
proceso a través de la metodología seis sigmas. El presente estudio se enfocó en identificar las
funciones de cada colaborador dentro del departamento de logística y en el análisis de la
distribución física del almacén y líneas de carga y descarga del producto para determinar las causas
del problema que actualmente tiene la empresa. Implementando la metodología de seis sigmas se
espera incrementar la efectividad en los envíos en un 20% comparado a la situación actual. Para
esta investigación se realizó un estudio mixto mediante un análisis de recolección cualitativa y
cuantitativa. En el estudio se realizaron entrevistas y encuestas a los colaboradores asimismo visita
al almacén para tomar datos basados en observaciones y para los análisis de datos se tomó la
información recolectada del sistema de los últimos seis meses. Con el resultado de esta
investigación se recomienda un rediseño del layout del almacén la cual reducirá los tiempos en los
movimientos internos y una reestructuración en el proceso de almacenamiento para un mejor
control del producto terminado.
