Abstract(s)
This report presents a global perspective on the internship carried out in Luís Simões, S.A group and it also registers the planned and the enrolled activities.
The impact reached by logistics, in this “New Era” of worldwide dimensions, technologies and novel markets, introduced a progressive motivation to this area. Researchers and practitioners have recognised these opportunities and the new related social paradigms, presenting them in different scientific and technical papers. A special focus is devoted to the contributions emphasising the impact of planning and scheduling of logistic operators. These contributions were important incentives to the challenge provided by Luís Simões, S.A.
The core activities developed during the internship concerned the regular operation of a logistic operator namely, fleet planning and scheduling, warehouse control, monitoring and programming of clients and orders. Besides that, the development of some Key Performance Indicators (KPI) was also part of the objectives. Moreover, these desirably would be integrated within the new information system, Transportation Management System (TMS), implemented in Luís Simões, S.A. Herein, some improvement can be achieved concerning parameterisations, measurements and monitoring being reportable. These can be considered as TMS customisation for the practices of the group in Coimbra region.
