Fortalecimiento en el plan de mejoramiento del almacenamiento de café en el área de bodega de la cooperativa de caficultores de Santander del municipio de San Gil

Abstract

The Cooperativa de Caficultores de Santander is a private company that ventures into the purchase and sale of coffee and agricultural inputs in the municipalities of the South of Santander, Colombia. It was in the 1950s, with the aim of weaving cooperative ties between coffee growers and the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia. In addition, it has the endorsement and support of entities such as Almacafé S.A, and the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia. In the course of the exercise, shortcomings were detected that go against the objective sought by management, which is the search for efficiency in the processes. In which, the files were handled on paper, without having a digital backup. Like the searches for kilos that were not marked and recast in the coffee dunes. The analysis and balance of the harvest, yields positive figures, but questions the possibility of improving in aspects that represent logistical problems. Faced with this, the proposal arises for the strengthening of the Commercial and Operational sector through the implementation of a barcode or QR marking system, to locate the different bags that are located. It is proposed to implement it from the next harvest at the end of October 2021, for interest on fines to the Cooperative. The student develops his internship process from September 7, 2020, until March 6, 2021, for a period of 6 months. There, he carries out his practice as coordinator of the special coffee program (five stars), in the Commercial and Operational area. Performance of functions such as: Digitization of future contracts, analysis and work in a database, traceability of purchases, reception and sending of samples to buyers.

The development of new technologies has made it possible to facilitate interaction between the bidder and the applicant. For this reason, the electronic commerce channels are the managers of guaranteeing the rapprochement between the parties, without having to displace them, and simplifying the time and cost processes.
