ABSTRACT

The objective of the study was to ascertain the extent to which the implementation of method engineering optimizes efficiency in the use of forklifts in a logistics company in Callao during the year 2025. The analysis entailed the examination of a population equivalent to the total pallet transfers recorded daily for a period of 45 days during the pre-test and post-test stages. This approach ensured that no sampling was applied in the data collection process. The research was approached using a quantitative method, with an explanatory level and a pre-experimental design. The collection of data was facilitated by the use of various instruments, including record sheets, digital stopwatches, and checklists. The findings indicated substantial enhancements after the integration of method engineering. The total efficiency exhibited an increase of 24.73%, transitioning from 77.25% (pre-test) to 96.35% (post-test). Operating efficiency exhibited an improvement of 18.09%, ascending from 80.19% to 94.70%. Consequently, economic efficiency was optimized by 24.44%, with a notable shift from 77.43% to 96.35%. Wilcoxon's statistical test confirmed significant differences between the two stages (p < 0.05). The application of method engineering has been demonstrated to enhance the operational efficiency, economic efficiency, and overall efficiency of forklift use. This finding substantiates the efficacy of method engineering as a pivotal instrument in the optimization of logistics processes.
