The market opening and the globalization of supply chains, demand a structural changes in which logistics has a strategic role. Nowadays, clients evaluate product quality, its value added and its availability in time and form, which implies a need to make the process efficient. Several experts have proposed some logistics management models to increase competitiveness in the market, but some of these models are too ambitious for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) due to their informal structure and their lack of technical knowledge; other models make indirect reference to the internal information flows, which include whole system disintegration because of the weak interrelation among the different areas. In Mexico, SMEs represent 4.2%, they generate 31.5% of employment and provide 37% of the gross domestic product; that is why it is important to reinforce their competitive position in the market. This research presents the design of a conceptual model of logistic management for SMEs which could provide comprehensive solution through control of the variables involved in the logistics process; to verify that the variables considered in each identified dimension are correct factor analysis was used.
La cadena de suministro del mezcal del estado de Zacatecas Situación actual y perspectivas de desarrollo Fecha de recepción: 22.10.2012 Fecha de aceptación: 06.12.2012 Resumen El mezcal es una bebida alcohólica hecha de la planta de agave que se cultiva en Zacatecas, México, uno de los siete estados que posee la denominación de origen (DO) y el segundo productor de agave y mezcal en el país; de ahí que la industria del agave-mezcal sea una actividad estratégica del estado. Dado que varios agentes interactúan en forma desarticulada en la industria, los principales objetivos de este estudio son: 1) obtener información del proceso global, y 2) desarrollar un modelo táctico de planeación de la cadena de suministro de esta industria. A partir de una investigación preliminar se identifica la información básica de los procesos de negocio obtenida por medio de encuestas y entrevistas, lo que permitió el diseño de un modelo táctico de planeación de la cadena de suministro. Este análisis considera las relaciones entre empresas pequeñas y medianas (Pyme). Los resultados permitieron la obtención de información relacionada con la industria; la identificación de las áreas de oportunidad de los agentes de la cadena; y la evaluación del potencial y restricciones de la cadena de suministro del agave-mezcal del estado de Zacatecas.
