تخفيض الهدر في العمليات اللوجستية : دراسة حالة في الشركة العامة لتجارة الحبوب في نينوى

Abstract EN

The research aims mainly to identify ways to improve logistical operations through reducing waste in the activities of the General Company for Grain Trading, Nineveh Branch.

The research problem was embodied in three types of waste related to transportation activities, storage, information flow and communication and customer service activity, to identifying areas for reducing them to improve the logistical operations of the researched company.

The research adopted two hypotheses.

The first is related to the ability of the company's management to overcome the three forms of waste and the ranges of variation in the impact of each of them in the four logistical activities.

The hypotheses were tested by adopting a checklist, which was considered a main method for data collection and completion of the practical side, as it included (36) respondents.

The data was analyzed through a number of appropriate statistical tools for the purpose of reaching results and making conclusions, perhaps the most prominent of which are: 1.

With regard to the unreasonable overload on operators or equipment (Muri), it was found that there is no advanced equipment that reduces the overburdening of personnel and equipment.2.

With regard to the irregular use of a person or machine (Mura): It was evident the ence of complete coordination between activities, especially during the peak times of wheat marketing periods and the lack of activity after that because most of the activities are linked to wheat receiving operations and thus the state of imbalance of activities (disparity) is achieved.3.

As for work, that does not add value (Muda): The weakness of the company's management in identifying and detecting waste and reducing logistical activities that do not add value has been indicated, especially in the activities of transporting wheat between the governorates of Iraq and coding with the secret number of examination forms.

A set of proposals have also been formulated, perhaps the most prominent of which is the need to reduce the unreasonable overload of operators or equipment (Muri).
