In the pharmaceutical industry, production planning responds to changes in customer demand and internal company processes. Processes in this industry are not value-additive, although the industry does present opportunities for improvement, such as reducing overtime, which occurs more than 30% of the time; reducing production rescheduling, which reaches 40%; and improving level of customer service for state institutions, who represent 70% of purchase orders. These situations need to be improved within the company; and as a result, a sales and operations model that includes direct labor planning is designed. This model should enable a reduction of overtime and calculation of the amount of direct labor taking into account efficiency level. In practice, this is the expected outcome; it is achieved via the decisions made by the operations executive.

Analiza la implementación del modelo integrado de planeamiento de la producción para incrementar la productividad de una planta farmacéutica. La investigación es de tipo aplicativa, de nivel explicativo y de diseño experimental – cuasi experimental. Uno de los procesos empresariales conocido, con un porcentaje de implementación muy bajo en el medio empresarial, es el de planeamiento de ventas y operaciones (SOP). Es un planeamiento a nivel gerencial y multidisciplinario, que permite tomar decisiones como subcontratar la producción de algunos productos, aprobar con anticipación la cantidad de mano de obra directa a contratar, establecer políticas de horas extras, compras de equipos o máquinas menores, los niveles de inventarios a manejar (cobertura) en los siguientes meses, la aprobación de inventarios de seguridad para ciertos productos y materiales estratégicos o críticos...

Este artículo corresponde a uno de los primeros resultados de la investigación de la Oficina de Desarrollo Académico, Calidad y Acreditación (ODACA) de la Universidad Ricardo Palma (URP) sobre indicadores. Los objetivos son calcular el rendimiento académico y el porcentaje de deserción de las cohortes de estudiantes del 2010-I hasta 2018-I, demostrar la asociación alta entre los indicadores de deserción y rendimiento académico y formular un modelo para pronosticar los resultados en el tiempo. Se han considerado experiencias desarrolladas en otras instituciones educativas, organismos del Estado, conceptos y teorías de investigaciones anteriores e informes de instituciones privadas. Se utilizó el Subsistema de Indicadores de Calidad desarrollado por la ODACA para procesar la base de datos de la URP. Los resultados permitieron demostrar que la hipótesis del investigador se cumpl...

The purpose of the research was to offer a comprehensive analysis of disruptive technologies in supply chain and logistics. The study was carried out through a documentary and bibliographic approach, using a systematic review as a methodology. The PRISMA diagram was used to select the sample, composed of articles indexed in the Scopus database. Specific inclusion criteria were applied, selecting relevant articles published between 2020 and 2024 in any language and using any methodology, with open access. Those that only provided abstracts, duplicates, or were not aligned with the research objective were excluded. After this process, 25 publications were selected for analysis. A wide variety of innovative technologies applied in the field of supply and logistics management were identified. Evidence was found to suggest that the implementation of these technologies can considerably improve...
