Abstract

The accomplishment of this work aims to present a proposal of improvement and greater profitability in the transport of loads in vehicles bitrens through the use of containers. The need arises from the difficulty of operating this type of equipment, which, due to the low utilization of the useful space, for the return loads (North to South), since the lack of load for this type of equipment, Consequently, a long period of time is waiting for loads and generating low productivity, since, normally, returns empty, and also, low profitability of the operation, causing losses in return operations. As a result of these difficulties, which have been part of the company's reality for some time, and which has not yet identified a way to remedy these problems, the proposal is to create an operation model, based on the use of containers in bitrens. This is an innovative and pioneering operation in this type of equipment, since its main focus is to operate them over long distances, with maximum use of the useful space, using, initially, stopped assets of the organization, which are old carts and containers, which today are only used in small operations or as temporary deposits in seasonal periods. The expectation is that with the implementation of this project it is possible to give new perspectives of profitability to the company, undoing of underutilized equipment, providing new market niches and remedying one of the main problems of the company, which is the lack of return load for bitrens.
