La presente investigación sobre la diversificación de las importaciones de alimentos para mascotas es importante debido al gran crecimiento del mercado generando un aumento en las importaciones del país, ayudando a fortalecer la economía de este. Por lo tanto, el objetivo general es analizar la diversificación de los países proveedores de las importaciones de alimento para mascotas en el Perú 2014 – 2023. La metodología para utilizar es de tipo básica, con un enfoque cuantitativo, alcance descriptivo y diseño no experimental – transversal. Se realizó un análisis documental con datos obtenidos de INFOTRADE para evaluar las importaciones y el nivel de concentración a través de los años 2014 – 2023, por ello se utilizará el índice de Herfindahl-Hirschman. Se observa un crecimiento del 9.07% con respecto al valor FOB, 4.71% en peso neto y 5.15% en precio, una concentración en países proveedores destacando Argentina, sin embargo, se encuentra en proceso de diversificación. Por otro lado, con respecto a las empresas una concentración abrumadora de Nestlé. Se recomienda a gobiernos regionales a incentivar la inversión en la producción local, promoviendo la innovación y el desarrollo de nuevos productos para mascotas.

La gestión ineficiente de inventarios es un desafío crítico para las PYMES en diversos sectores, afectando su rendimiento organizacional. Esta revisión sistemática evalúa la eficacia de la implementación de Lean Warehousing en la optimización de la gestión de inventarios en PYMES. Utilizando el protocolo PRISMA y los componentes PICOC, se seleccionaron 23 artículos y papers de conferencias en la plataforma Scopus. Los resultados muestran que herramientas como las 5S, ABC, Just in Time (JIT) y la estandarización del trabajo abordan eficazmente las causas de la ineficiencia en la gestión de inventarios. Estas herramientas demostraron su efectividad principalmente a través de simulaciones con el software Arena, mostrando mejoras significativas en los indicadores clave de rendimiento (KPIs) tras intervenciones de 3 meses. En conclusión, Lean Warehousing es una estrategia efectiva para mitigar problemas operativos en PYMES. Se subraya la importancia de la supervisión continua para asegurar resultados sostenibles a largo plazo y se sugiere integrar estas herramientas con tecnologías de la Industria 4.0 en futuras investigaciones, lo que podría mejorar aún más el rendimiento operativo y la competitividad empresarial.

The research studied the relationship between logistics management and service quality in an SME in the Gastronomic Sector of the city of Trujillo in the year 2023. Specific objectives are established to evaluate different aspects of logistics management and its elevation with service quality. The research is classified as applied and uses a quantitative approach. A non-experimental and correlational transectional design was adopted to examine the interrelationships between variables without influencing their modification. The findings revealed a significant correlation (coefficient of 0.822) between logistics management and service quality, suggesting a direct relationship: improvements in logistics management lead to an improvement in service quality. It was concluded that the level of logistics management and quality of service varies between good and average. Furthermore, moderate to high relationships were identified between logistics management and several aspects of service quality, such as tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, security, and empathy. The costs of implementing improvements in logistics management were estimated to improve the quality of service, as well as the social and environmental impact was evaluated, highlighting both economic and resource savings due to more efficient logistics management.

The objective of this research is to demonstrate, through the implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System based on the ISO 45001:2018 Standard, the reduction of occupational accidents in the company Prosel Ingeniería SAC. This is because, in this organization, which provides electrical and civil services on both public and private roads; A high accident rate has been evident during their work days. Therefore, the applied experimental methodology has been used, through the use of descriptive and inferential statistics for the interpretation of data and validation of the general and specific hypothesis. Likewise, after performing the Shapiro Wilk Test, to analyze the data obtained from the 16 accident records, whose significance value was less than 0.05, the Wilcoxon test was used to determine the validity of our hypotheses, obtaining significance values. less than its parameter 0.05, concluding the validity of the initially proposed hypothesis. This is how, after carrying out a baseline diagnosis and comparing it with the implementation of the ISO 45001:2018 Standard, an average decrease of 90.64% in the accident frequency rate and a 73.85% decrease in the accident severity index was obtained. work accidents.

This study investigates the factors that influence New Product Development (NPD) in the dynamic context of nanostores in Honduras. Through an exploratory factor analysis based on a survey of 143 nanostores, four key factors in NPD practices were identified: Employee Involvement, Environment, Team Recognition, and Customer and Supplier Involvement. These factors explain 55% of the total variance in product development practices. The main purpose of the paper is to understand the determinants of NPD in this specific environment, providing an enriched view of industry practices and challenges. The findings offer valuable practical implications for nanostore managers, who can use these insights to optimize their product development strategies. Theoretically, the study expands the understanding of NPD practices in unique retail environments and demonstrates the effectiveness of exploratory factor analysis in identifying key factors. In addition, the paper contributes to the discussion on retail innovation by providing a novel and meaningful perspective on new product development in Honduran nano-stores.

The growing interest in the preservation and care of the environment has motivated the development of biodegradable packaging from agroindustrial waste. The rice milling process generates considerable lignocellulosic waste such as husk that can be used for the development of biodegradable packaging. This research focuses on the use of rice husk, corn starch and rice starch as raw materials for the manufacture of biodegradable packaging. The objective is to identify the optimal percentages of raw material concentration for the development of the packaging. To do this, a mixture design was developed with the Statistica software and the resistance of the three types of biodegradable packaging mixtures was measured. Studies are mentioned that evaluate and examine the key factors to consider when manufacturing and marketing biodegradable containers made from natural fibers, such as corn husk or fruit waste, evaluating the environmental, economic and social impact of the consumption of these containers, as well as as the level of consumer acceptance. It is concluded that the optimal mixture for the development of the biodegradable packaging is that it contains 74.17619% of rice husk, 4.06859% of corn starch and 21.75521%. These wastes can be used sustainably, which would reduce their environmental impact and create economic opportunities.
