In the past years, logistics in Peru manifested a drop in fourteen positions in the global logistics performance index (LPI) rank, due to the high cost in logistics operations in which 30% comes from distribution centers. Of this volume, 60% represents the workforce cost whereas manual tasks correspond to 42% of the mentioned workforce cost. Order picking in distribution centers is manual in most of the cases. Previous studies have shown the existing relationship between workforce performance and an adequate work method designed with the consideration of human factors, which are described by ergonomics. Nevertheless, change management in an order picking management model has not yet been proven successful. Thus, in the current investigation, an order picking management model that aligns ergonomics and work-study techniques is posed. This will help the performance improvement of pickers; on the other hand, change management will be a supportive technique throughout the validation. The investigation will have a case study in a distribution center where a diagnostic will be run and further on the workforce will be trained with a change management perspective in the new model, which helps reduce the damaged inventory in the logistics operation. Finally, results will be shown, as the model must be evaluated in four aspects: the final percentage of damaged inventory, ergonomics index, efficiency in order picking and total cost of overtime. The main metric for performance evaluation of the model is presented by the reduction of damaged inventory from 4% to 1%.
