Abstract

To analyze the input logistics of milk, the descriptive method was used to methodically sustain everything that had been done. In this sense, the large companies in the dairy sector of the city of Quito were determined being a single company that was adjusted to the parameters established for the selection of the research unit and that for reasons of confidentiality of information has been agreed to make mention in this document as "The Dairy Company". Once the research unit under study was determined, the characterization of milk input logistics was analyzed, analyzing operations such as: i) milk planning and purchases, ii) milk collection and transport, iii) milk reception and iv) storage and inventories of milk. Each one of the dimensions was described through direct observation, documentary review and interviewing the personnel involved in the company's milk supply. Once the characterization of each operation was made, the problems in the milk input logistics were identified in the Dairy Company and finally improvement plans were proposed for each identified problem, establishing indicators of measurement that at the same time allow to raise a baseline of information that currently does not exist, in addition, the improvement plans detail the corrective actions that must be carried out, the duration of the improvement plan, the budget for its implementation, the results that are expected and those responsible for the implementation and follow-up.
