Análisis de la influencia de los procesos administrativos para la optimización de recursos en las canteras de pequeñas mineras de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

In the recent years, the mining industry has been impacted by several factors, mainly the pandemic caused by COVID-19 that paralyzed activities worldwide. Despite this, the government seeks to promote the mining sector so that it becomes a main source of income and can combat the risk of illegal mining and environmental regulations that limit quarry operations. The present research work aims to analyze the influence of administrative processes for the optimization of resources in the quarries of small mining companies in the city of Guayaquil. In the theoretical framework, it covers definitions and laws related to the mining sector, public entities that intervene and are in charge of granting the necessary permits for quarries. The methodology used is descriptive of a correlational type with a qualitative approach, the same that will be executed through secondary data that will be obtained through interviews with companies that own quarries in the town, as well as data that support and are found within the web pages of the institutions that regulate the operation of said companies. Also through the Ishikawa diagrams, the factors that directly influence each administrative process were identified, causing deficits in productivity. Finally, the ERP system was proposed that offers process automation, resource optimization and productivity growth through operations controls, generating relevant income for quarries.
