Propuesta de plan de mejora en el manejo de los procesos de la cadena de suministro en la empresa agrícola SILVAGRO S.A ubicada en Guayaquil.

Abstract

This project corresponds to an improvement plan in the supply chain of the company SILVAGRO SA located in Guayaquil City, a business that is dedicated to the sale and marketing of agricultural inputs, covering the needs of farmers by region in Ecuadorian coast. Currently they have detected a clear decline in their sales due to all the external factors that the arrival of the pandemic (COVID-19) has brought with it, also adding the gaps that it maintains within its supply chain due to a clear lack of administrative management and finance by company managers. This has caused drastic alternatives to be taken, such as the reduction of personnel and logistical resources. The results of the research show how feasible it is to implement the improvement plan within the internal processes that the company maintains daily, given the prior detailed identification of all the shortcomings of its supply chain. Resulting in a 5-year cash flow projection that shows that currently under the business model it maintains, and the improvements already established within each stage, it is estimated that they can maximize the income received. The strategies that were used according to previous research encompass the current needs that the company requires attention. On the other hand, it is disclosed that it has an IRR of 16.18%, this indicates that the improvement proposal to be implemented is viable. Likewise, the economic figures produced by the research work present a very positive atmosphere within the improvement plan proposal in this company located in Guayaquil - Guayas province.
