    La cultura de la SEGURIDAD es primordial no solo en las operaciones de los almacenes, sino en cualquier actividad productiva. Es muy importante que todos los colaboradores sepan que, si una condición de las actividades va a derivar en realizar la tarea de forma insegura, el mismo está autorizado para detener la actividad hasta que se corrijan las condiciones y poder realizarla de forma segura. Los líderes tenemos la responsabilidad de constantemente revisar que los procesos establecidos se cumplan como se han documentado y que los colaboradores cuenten con las herramientas adecuadas para realizar su tarea.

    Balancing safety and productivity in warehouse operations requires addressing operational bottlenecks and risk factors simultaneously. High inventory turnover often pressures teams to accelerate workflows, increasing the likelihood of safety violations. Inefficient layout designs can lead to congestion, elevating accident risks and slowing movement. Implementing automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for repetitive tasks minimises manual handling, reducing injury risks while maintaining throughput. Data-driven labor allocation optimises workforce deployment, preventing fatigue without sacrificing performance. Integrating predictive maintenance prevents equipment failures, ensuring uninterrupted operations without compromising safety standards.
