Método Transversal de Desarrollo de Nuevos Productos y Procesos Sostenibles en las Industrias Globales

Abstract

The production and consumption practices in the supply chains of the manufacturing sector that follow a linear flow, of taking, making and disposing, over time have negatively impacted the environment, in addition to presenting scarce resources, especially those that are considered finite. This has prompted society to evaluate and seek sustainable development options, where the circular economy emerges as a relevant concept in the search for strategies to work towards their complex situations. Increasing the complexity of supply chains is considered one of the greatest risks to achieving the objectives that organizations set. To be competitive, they are forced to expand their product offering, offer levels of customization, which generates great uncertainty in their supply chains. Companies also face supply disruptions, production and delivery delays that ultimately result in poor operational performance. This research aims to propose an integrating model of complex projects for supply chains in the manufacturing sector, within a context of circular economy, based on a literature review, field work with a census of Colombian manufacturing companies of interest belonging to the official report of the Superintendency of Societies (Superintendency of Societies, 2020), and a statistical analysis with the R software. It is expected to positively impact the organizations of the manufacturing sector with the contribution of the proposal of this model.
