Diseño de un modelo para la administración de inventarios en un cultivo de fresa, basado en el modelo de pedido para un solo periodo y las métricas 6 sigma

Abstract

Inventory management is part of the core activities of any company, therefore, of its proper management will depend on
the results of subsequent activities. Inventory models are based on the assumption that the products also have an unlimited
lifetime, however, in some systems there is a generation of additional costs, associated with the deterioration of the products
quality, called perishable items. On the basis of the productive conditions, inventory management and waste management,
the present study includes a proposal for the design of a theorical model for the inventory management in a strawberry
crop, based on a perishable ítems inventory model, known as the single period inventory model and the implementation of
6 sigma metrics, for waste level consideration and control and the limitations of the crop productive capacity. A theoretical
verificarion test to check the operation was performed, identifying that the model is functional, allowing to evidence in a
planning period of a month, that the model allows to adequately establish the recommended optimal amount of collection;
linking expected harvesting capacity regarding actual available capacity; as well as the amount of waste in the crop in a given
period, allowing to establish controls on the crop, taking into account the quality factor of six sigma and its application as
an indicator of occurrences of waste, which allows to guarantee in a theoretical level the planning and crop renewal periods.
