Diseño e implementación de un modelo logístico para la internalización del proceso de reempaque en gabrica S.A.S.

Abstract

Strengthening the internalization process of pet food reconditioning at [Gabrica S.A.S.](https://gabrica.co/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) involves the design and implementation of a continuous improvement model focused on traceability management, control, operational efficiency, and compliance with the guidelines established by the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA). The selected methodology is framed within an applied and descriptive model, developed during the professional internship period from August to December 2025. For this purpose, subcontracted reconditioning processes and operational audits, technical visits to warehouses, infrastructure and cost benchmarking, supplier evaluation, and the progressive design of the new plant layout up to the validation of the final design were carried out. The results revealed operational failures in the subcontracted process, which justified the need to internalize the operational process. Based on the technical and logistical analysis, a warehouse located in the Parque Industrial CELTA was selected, as it met the regulatory and operational requirements for in-house reconditioning. It is concluded that the proposed model strengthens operational control and establishes the foundation for a more efficient and traceable reconditioning operation.
