Profitability enhancement by digital transformation and canvas digital model on strategic processes in post-Covid-19 in logistics SMEs(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-01-01)The main objective of every Small and Medium Enterprise is to develop the ability to generate profits permanently over time; However, the Covid-19 pandemic significantly affected the global economy, generating an average reduction of 27% in global production and consumption, as well as a reduction in the use of labor, either due to reduced wages or reduction in working hours, which has had an impact on the increase in poverty. It is in this context that SMEs, with the aim of continuing to operate, implemented a strategy to reinvent themselves, which has been based on the greater use of the Internet and digital platforms with the aim of energizing their market or changing their line of business., will thus develop activities in other areas or new services that did not exist before the moment of this reinvention. In this context, electronic commerce increased in a first stage, promoting the need to develop the so-called ‘last mile’ processes, which is provided most of the time by light logistics companies; However, the lack of agile and rapid implementation methodologies that facilitate the identification and selection of digital technologies appropriate to the processes of SMEs has caused the growth rate of e-commerce sales to decrease, which affects consumption and poverty reduction. Therefore, the objectives of this research are to provide a methodology that allows improving the strategic planning of the organization, adapting the strategy to changes in the environment in an agile and rapid manner, and identifying the resources and actions required that contribute to increasing the productivity through the Digital Canvas Model and Digital Transformation in logistics SMEs in the short term.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Inventory control model based on Big Data, EOQ, ABC and forecast to increase productivity in a hardware SME(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-02-01)Within the commercial sector, SMEs represent more than 90% of all companies; they are responsible for 50% of GDP and generate between 60% and 70% of employment worldwide, which is why they are critical in the Peruvian economy. However, through an exhaustive review of the literature and sectoral analysis, we concluded they have a high risk of failure in the short term due to various problems, such as poor inventory management. In Peru, the provisions for carrying out inventories usually have a ratio of between 1% and 1.4% of the total inventory stock; thus, SMEs belonging to the hardware sector more frequently present this problem that affects the profitability of their companies. For this reason, the need arises to design an inventory control model that increases the productivity of hardware SMEs. After the pilot implementation of the first component, an increase in distribution efficiency of 11% is achieved, and its effectiveness is supported by simulating the entire model, obtaining the same results.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Digitization model for costs and operating times reduction in Peruvian Banks(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-11-01)Deforestation is one of the problems that is producing a significant impact on the environment in countries that have large extensions of forests such as Peru, caused by different factors such as paper consumption, whose increase in recent years has also generated an increase in the costs and times related to the management and transportation of physical documents. These physical processes were further affected due to the COVID-19 restrictions, having a significant negative impact on customer satisfaction due to some processes that required their presence at bank branches. According to recent research, 90% of financial institutions continue to maintain a traditional document management system that consists of printing, storing and consulting physical documents, due to the lack of culture and activities aimed at digitizing processes; however, this change is possible with a model oriented to the transformation of said processes and the organizational culture; our main motivation to carry out this research was the change that the digitization of processes offers to companies and the environment. Our management model consists of 4 stages: collection of necessary requirements, identification of the main problem and improvement objectives, execution of the 3 management tools selected from our model and validation of the results obtained. The result obtained thanks to the application of the model in our validation case, shows a reduction of 65% of the costs related to document management in the first 3 months, in the following 3 months the reduction suffers an increase to 95.37%. In addition to this, the time to search and obtain documents will be reduced by approximately 99%. In conclusion, we determined that Change Management and Organizational and Infrastructure Management are necessary to be able to transform physical processes into digital ones since these three complement each other.Acceso abierto

System of Human Management Processes to Improve the Predictors of Staff Turnover in SMEs Dedicated to the Service Sector(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)Staff turnover is a consistent threat for companies, as the cost overrun generated by each rotated employee may be between 80% and 130% of an average salary. In Peru, small and medium-sized companies in the service sector have the highest turnover rate (19%). Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the management of human talent within such types of enterprises and establish relevant mechanisms to curb or reduce the significant predictors of staff turnover. Thus, this paper proposes a system composed of three processes: Workload Distribution, Professional Growth and Development, Compensation and Rewards. For the conceptual validation, experts agree that the probability of success of the expected results of the system is greater than 75%. It can be concluded from this that the proposed system would reduce the probability of employees of SMEs in the service industry leaving the workplace.Acceso restringido temporalmente
