  abstract = {The objective was to analyze and propose improvements for the product storage area through the application of Lean Logistics principles. A general diagnosis of the inventory process was conducted, with a focus on the storage area (critical area). Problems and their evidence were analyzed, and short- and medium-term proposals were developed. Flow diagrams and Pareto charts were created to assess the impact of these problems on productivity using the JIT (Just-In-Time) and Heijunka systems. Quantitative methods were employed to present the results. By implementing the Heijunka methodology, waiting times for product delivery were reduced from 49% to 21%. Additionally, the application of the JIT methodology increased storage accuracy from 80% to 99%, and inventory turnover experienced a significant improvement.},
