Modelación de las principales operaciones de la empresa reforestadora Cumare a través de dinámica de sistemas

Abstract

Analyses through systems dynamics allow reaching a reliable solution to a problem defined within a company based on the structural recognition of the process to be improved. This study carried out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a Cumare reforestation company in Colombia in order to determine bottlenecks processes susceptible to improvement and alternatives that would allow the increase of performance and productivity of the four main operations (Elaboration of boxes, fertilization, plantation and re-plantation). In the research, the forrester model of the studied operations was designed, where the variables of each one were identified, the interactions between these and the performance with their statistical distribution in the main variable. All this was obtained from the study of methods, times and yields. Each procedure was valued based on the differentiation of three contractor companies whose applied methods varied among themselves.
