Propuesta metodológica para la optimización de la cadena de suministro en la empresa Envases del Litoral mediante análisis de procesos logísticos .

Abstract

Abstract: Envases del Litoral, a company that manufactures metal packaging for the food and industrial sectors, faces serious deficiencies in its supply chain management, as evidenced by frequent rescheduling, shortages of raw materials, and recurring delays in fulfilling orders. This Curricular Integration Project identified the root causes of these inefficiencies through a mixed-methods research approach, combining quantitative analysis of 36 months of historical production and sales records with interviews of key personnel and surveys of operational staff. Based on this comprehensive diagnosis, a methodological proposal was designed, structured into three strategic areas; demand forecasting, production planning, and inventory management, aimed at transforming the current reactive operation into a proactive and synchronized system. The proposal seeks to strengthen integration among the sales, planning, production, and imports departments, with the goal of improving the timely availability of resources and raising the level of customer service.
