Picking process management model to improve order processing time in a spare parts warehouse using the 5'S Technique: case of the automotive sector
Get PDFThe problem observed in the warehouse of an auto parts company is the high picking process times due to the lack of continuous improvement tools in the process itself. The objective of this research is to propose a picking process management model to reduce order fulfillment times through the use of the 5S methodology. To achieve this, an empirical study with a quasi-experimental and post-positivist approach was conducted, using a case study methodology. The study revealed differences in preparation times depending on the type of operator in the warehouse, and through the implementation of the 5S methodology and work standardization, a significant reduction in picking time was achieved: 41.37% for new operators, 32.80% for standard operators, and 11.82% for experienced operators
Improvement of sales distribution process in a dairy sector company using the impact-feasibility matrix
Get PDFThe present study addresses the challenges faced by a dairy company in the distribution of sales in the northern region of Peru. Through the implementation of the Impact-Feasibility Matrix engineering tool, the company was able to select the best option from those generated in a brainstorming session by ranking various factors. This led to a 14% increase in gross sales, a 64% reduction in sales discounts, and an enhanced negotiating power and commercial strategy compared to the distributor, resulting in a 16% increase in net sales.
With the improvement of sales indicators and cost reductions, there was a 29% increase in gross profit and a 10% increase in operating profit. Previously, distribution was managed by a supplier facing working capital issues and insufficient service to retail customers, allowing competitors to gain market share in a sector primarily served by retail channels. Following the process improvement in this area, it was concluded that it is more feasible and impactful for the company itself to manage the distribution to the retail channel, replacing the outsourcing company. This implementation demonstrated a clear improvement in commercial management indicators
Evaluation of cushuro (Nostoc sphaericum) as an alternative source of minerals, functional protein and bioactive peptides
No full textCushuro (Nostoc sphaericum) is an underexplored blue-green alga currently used as a food ingredient, natural medicine, and organic fertilizer in Peru. Our paper aims to address the nutritional and biological values of cushuro protein. Dried cushuro had a high amount of minerals as calcium (567 ± 64 mg/100 g to 1357 ± 153 mg/100 g), iron (13.5 ± 1.5 mg/100 g to 26.2 ± 2.9 mg/100 g, magnesium (95 ± 11 mg/100 g to 126 ± 14 mg/100 g) and protein content (32.4 ± 0.5 g/100 g to 36.9 ± 0.2 g/100 g. Protein solubility was assessed to optimize the extraction of cushuro protein by ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction, after that, the protein contents in cushuro fractions were over 70%. All detected cushuro protein fractions had Mw < 24 kDa and a better digestibility than legume products. In addition, cushuro protein products tend to have umami taste, and does not bring a bitter flavor. Moreover, cushuro flour and protein fractions contain all essential amino acids, which are responsible for over 40% of total amino acids. Meanwhile, hydrophobic amino acids content of around 40 g/100 g also indicated their excellent antioxidant potential. Thus, the data obtained supports cushuro as a promising alternative source for minerals, protein and bioactive peptides

Efecto del precio internacional del petróleo, el tipo de cambio y el precio internacional del arroz en el precio doméstico del arroz en el Perú, periodo 2014-2024
Get PDFEste trabajo tiene como principal objetivo determinar el impacto del precio internacional, el precio del petróleo y el tipo de cambio USD sobre el precio doméstico del arroz en el Perú durante el período de enero 2014 a mayo 2024. Se presentan dos estudios: el primero muestra de manera cuantitativa el impacto entre los precios a través del uso del modelo Vectores Autorregresivos VAR. El segundo, identifica las relaciones de manera cualitativa a través del análisis de entrevistas. Se trabajó con un muestreo por conveniencia el cual recolectó los precios mensuales de las cuatro variables en soles del período enero del 2014 a mayo del 2024 y se seleccionaron siete expertos del sector arrocero entre miembros del Ministerio de Agricultura, empresas y agricultores. Los hallazgos señalan que, a nivel cuantitativo, el precio global del arroz provoca un impacto positivo en el precio interno. En cambio, a nivel cualitativo, se descubrió que el precio global del arroz uruguayo no es el más adecuado para medir el efecto de las importaciones en el precio interno, debido al nicho al que se centra. Además, se descubrió que los vínculos entre el precio del petróleo West Texas Intermidiate (WTI) y el tipo de cambio presentan un efecto de shock negativo y positivo, respectivamente. Los resultados cualitativos muestran que las políticas existentes retrasan el impacto del precio internacional del petróleo y el impacto del tipo de cambio se refleja en los costos de producción mas no se refleja significativamente en el precio mayorista por decisión de los productores y su competitividad. Se concluye entonces que existen impactos mixtos entre las variables y que los efectos sobre el precio doméstico no son inmediatos por diversos factores del mercado.The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the USD exchange rate, oil prices, and global rice prices affect Peruvian domestic rice prices between January 2014 and May 2024. The influence of these prices is analyzed statistically using a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model in the first analysis, and the relationships are qualitatively determined through interview analysis in the second. From January 2014 to May 2024, monthly prices of the four variables in soles were gathered using a convenience sampling technique. Seven specialists from the rice industry were also chosen for the study, including farmers, businesses, and Ministry of Agriculture representatives. The results indicate that quantitatively, the international rice price exhibits a positive shock on domestic rice prices. On the other hand, qualitatively, it was found that the international price of Uruguayan rice is not optimal for assessing the impact of imports on domestic prices due to its niche focus. Additionally, it was found that the relationships with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices and the exchange rate present negative and positive shocks, respectively. Qualitative results reveal that existing policies delay the impact of international oil prices, while the impact of the exchange rate is reflected in production costs but does not significantly affect wholesale prices due to producers' decisions and competitiveness. Therefore, it is concluded that there are mixed impacts between the variables and that the effects on domestic prices are not immediate due to various market factors
