Resumen
El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad diseñar una propuesta de optimización del proceso de compras del Departamento Logístico de la Cruz Roja Costarricense (CRC), para el mejoramiento de eficiencia operativa en los Comités Auxiliares. El trabajo se alinea con el objetivo fundamental de la institución, que se basa en dar una respuesta oportuna ante las emergencias que se presenten, respetando la estructura jerárquica de operación y las normativas asociadas con la utilización de los fondos públicos. Para la investigación se han seleccionado cinco ejes conceptuales, los cuales ofrecen sustento teórico y son los siguientes: gestión de compras, eficiencia operativa, tiempos de proceso, automatización de procesos y asignación de recursos. Además, entre los principales autores se encuentran, Chopra y Meindl (2016), quienes permiten conocer la importancia de la utilización de las herramientas tecnológicas, para garantizar la eficiencia en la cadena de suministro. Por su parte, otros autores como Álvarez y Midolo (2017), dan una visión de la reducción de tiempos y recursos para el alcance de las metas institucionales. Por su parte, el enfoque seleccionado es el cualitativo, el tipo de investigación es descriptivo y se basa en el método inductivo, además, para el caso de las mejoras propuestas, se seleccionó la metodología DMAIC. En cuanto a las técnicas de recolección de la información, se ha utilizado la entrevista, aplicada a los administradores de diversos Comités Auxiliares de la Cruz Roja Costarricense, así como la observación directa y revisión de documentos facilitados por la institución...
