Abstract

Even though the participation of SMEs in the total of Colombian companies is normally not higher than 7.5%, they have a considerable impact in national economy (job generation and GNP). In spite of its importance, survival rate in the first five years of their lives is lower than the one of bigger companies. This phenomenon is partly caused by the steep costs in which such companies incur as they do not have the financial capability to get the benefits given by economies of scale and other tools available to big firms. Accordingly, it is expected to find specialized strategies focused on value creation inside SMEs Supply chains, given that logistics costs are one of the biggest components of total costs in Colombian companies. Nonetheless, to the best of our knowledge, there are very few of such initiatives. A Business Plan is hereby presented for the creation of a Consulting firm focused on helping organizations optimize their logistics processes based on the administration and integration of supply chains. In this plan we prove feasibility based on market, technical, legal, environmental and financial analyses
