Item Gestión de la cadena de abastecimiento de la empresa Agroindustrial KIPA Amaranto(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería en Sistemas, Electrónica e Industrial. Carrera de Ingeniería Industrial, 2023-09) Sánchez Contreras, Nicole Alejandra; Tigre Ortega, Franklin GeovannyThe objective of this research is to analyze the supply chain management in Kipa Amaranto agroindustrial company, which is dedicated to the production of healthy and nutritious products based on Andean products such as quinua and amaranth. During study development, storage problems were identified, which generate inefficiencies in their organization. Besides this, it was observed that the inventories lacked standards and policies, which raises doubts about the data reliability. Likewise, by not having supplier selection methods, the benefits that these strategies could provide are not being harnessed. As for the distribution of finished products, it is inefficient due to the lack of standards for their transportation. These findings highlight the need to propose improvements in supply chain management. The study began by analyzing the company's current situation through direct observation and interviews with the manager. Information was gathered using visual tools such as flow charts and control and follow-up tools such as checklists, and inefficiencies were synthesized in an Ishikawa diagram. Inventory improvements are proposed through the standards application, policies, as well as calculations for accurate management. Adittionally to the selection of vehicles for food transportation and standards for the same. In summary, the strategies and results derived from key calculations, such as safety stock, order points and economic order quantity, lead to a significant improvement in the company's inventory and warehouse management. Presented proposals and recommendations in terms of suppliers and distribution have the central objective of improving and driving informed decision making and resource optimization along the entire supply chain
