Informe final de opción de grado práctica empresarial realizada en Rodamientos Transmisiones Grandes Marcas S.A.S.

Abstract

This project aims to propose an improvement plan for optimizing foreign trade processes in Rodamientos Transmisiones Grandes Marcas S.A.S., a company dedicated to the import and commercialization of industrial machinery parts in northeastern Colombia. During the professional internship, several issues were identified, including the lack of a structured foreign trade area, absence of control tools in import processes, operational dependence on a single role, and limited diversification of freight forwarders. These factors led to inefficiencies in logistics management, increased operational costs, and difficulties in decision-making. In response, an improvement plan is proposed, focusing on the creation of a foreign trade department, the design of a functions manual, the implementation of an import planning tool, the optimization of supplier and freight forwarder management, and the development of a cargo consolidation strategy aimed at reducing costs and improving operational efficiency. This project strengthens the company's organizational structure, enabling more efficient and competitive operations, while also contributing to the student's professional development through the practical application of International Business knowledge
