Distribución centralizada en la cual la
mercancía parte de un centro de distribución
y la zona de servicio se divide por códigos
postales. En el centro de distribución se
realizan operaciones tanto de consolidación
como de disgregación.
El vehículo eléctrico recoge la mercancía
en el almacén de origen y realiza diversos
servicios de entregas y/o recogidas en
diferentes puntos a lo largo de la ruta
generada por el sistema de planificación

32. 2. ITENE view toward the
project
1.
SLOPE represents and opportunity for the forestry
stakeholders to bring logistics best practices from agile and
lean sectors (Automotive, Consumer Goods).
2.
Efficient planning and integrated information system is a
strategic weapon to get the forest sector more competitive in
terms of:
3.
Cost efficient operations in the supply chain
Responding fast to customer demands
ITENE expectations: success on the implementition of track
and trace systems and to apply logistics practices in forestry
sector
