The megacity of Lima generates daily around 9,000 t of wastes (organic and non-organic). This waste is collected by a network of municipalities with a customer service level of 43% and average cost of 38 $/t. This research is focused in Comas, a district of Lima. This district generates dairy 450 t of waste. The authors propose a key performance index to increase efficiency (customer service level) and reduce operating costs for waste collection service on Comas district (Lima) by using an on-line demand tool, based on the current population density and the waste generation of a certain area of Comas. They apply a reverse zone distribution (RZD), a term introduced in this study, as a result of an adapted methodology and supported by new technology trends, such as the internet of things. The RZD's value chain has many similarities with a commercial one; however, it differs fundamentally in the attention to the citizen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
