Resumen
En el entorno comercial, las empresas enfrentan desafíos cada vez mayores para mantener su vigencia en el mercado y a su vez conservar su rentabilidad. Es por ese motivo que las estrategias empresariales deben considerar la optimización de los procesos operativos para maximizar el uso de recursos, por esa razón se determina que la eficiencia financiera y operativa es un factor relevante para el éxito de las organizaciones. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar el valor financiero de los procesos logísticos con el fin de optimizar los recursos monetarios de la empresa M.C. S.A durante el periodo de enero 2022 a diciembre de 2024, además, se identifican gastos innecesarios y cómo los mismos pueden ajustarse para maximizar la rentabilidad y los resultados económicos. Parte de la motivación de realizar la investigación surge de la falta de interés por parte de las empresas de analizar las repercusiones financieras de los procesos y cómo una variación puede influir en los resultados financieros. Mientras los procesos logísticos y operativas aplican mejoras en tiempo y eficiencia operativa, a menudo se descuida el análisis de cómo estos cambios repercuten directamente en las finanzas. Como administradores con énfasis en gestión financiera se deben indagar con mayor profundidad las empresas y los procesos en términos financieros, para que así se determinen las mejoras efectivas que sea respaldado con resultados económicos. Durante la investigación, se identifica desafíos que complicaron el análisis de datos al no encontrar un orden adecuado en la información, además de estar incompleta y desactualizada, lo cual ha provocado que se tenga que disponer tiempo de la investigación para unir y organizar la información, por consiguiente, ha ralentizado el progreso. La estructura del trabajo consta de cinco capítulos, el primero abarca los aspectos metodológicos de la investigación, seguido por el marco de referencia en donde se toma en cuenta la legislación y las generalidades de la empresa. Posterior a este se encuentra el capítulo tres con el marco conceptual el cual permite tener una mejor comprensión de los conceptos que engloba la investigación. El capítulo cuatro se enfoca en la aplicación de los instrumentos desarrollados y su respectivo análisis de resultados, finalmente se cierra la investigación con el capítulo cinco que incluye las conclusiones y la propuesta de valor. A lo largo de la investigación la palabra “datos” hace referencia a los reportes de devoluciones, rentabilidad por factura, informes de ruta, reportes de consumo de combustible, reportes de salarios, viáticos, gastos por seguros, gastos por mantenimiento de edificio y vehículos, gastos por suscripciones, gastos de transporte, gastos de servicios públicos y gastos de alquiler. Este enfoque permite no sólo optimizar los procesos logísticos, sino también lograr mejoras financieras concretas que aporten beneficios reales y tangibles a la empresa
In the business environment, companies face increasing challenges to maintain their market relevance and profitability. For this reason, business strategies must consider optimizing operational processes to maximize resource utilization. Financial and operational efficiency is therefore considered a key factor for organizational success. Thus, the objective of this research is to evaluate the financial value of logistics processes in order to optimize the monetary resources of M.C. S.A. during the period from January 2022 to December 2024. Additionally, unnecessary expenses are identified, along with how they can be adjusted to maximize profitability and economic results. Part of the motivation for this research stems from the lack of interest among companies in analyzing the financial repercussions of their processes and how variations can influence financial results. While logistics and operational processes implement improvements in time and operational efficiency, the analysis of how these changes directly impact finances is often neglected. As administrators with an emphasis on financial management, we must delve deeper into companies and processes from a financial perspective to identify effective improvements supported by economic results. During the research, challenges were identified that complicated data analysis, including the lack of proper organization of the information, as well as its incompleteness and outdated nature. This necessitated dedicating research time to compiling and organizing the information, consequently slowing progress. The work is structured in five chapters. The first covers the methodological aspects of the research, followed by the theoretical framework, which considers legislation and general company information. Chapter three presents the conceptual framework, providing a better understanding of the concepts encompassed by the research. Chapter four focuses on the application of the developed instruments and their respective analysis of results. Finally, chapter five concludes the research with the conclusions and the value proposition. Throughout the research, the word “data” refers to reports on returns, profitability per invoice, route reports, fuel consumption reports, salary reports, travel expenses, insurance expenses, building and vehicle maintenance expenses, subscription expenses, transportation expenses, utility expenses, and rental expenses. This approach allows not only the optimization of logistics processes but also the achievement of concrete financial improvements that provide real and tangible benefits to the company.
