Propuesta de Mejora de los Aplicativos Existentes para la Evaluación de los Riesgos Empresariales.

Abstract

This project arises from the need to address the specific requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Colombia in the field of risk management. Risk management is a fundamental aspect for the survival and growth of any company, but SMEs are particularly exposed to the adverse consequences of not effectively managing risks. To address this issue, the solution proposed is a custom-designed software prototype to meet the needs of these companies, thus contributing to the mitigation of losses and strengthening their business resilience.

This project not only aims to provide a solution for SMEs but also to elevate the standard of enterprise risk management in the context of industrial engineering. To achieve this, it has focused on improving the effectiveness of existing applications. This involves not only designing a software proposal suitable for SMEs but also analyzing and deeply understanding the environment of enterprise risk management. This analysis has been carried out through a detailed study of the features and components of the top 10 tools in the market, those that are most representative and commonly used in SMEs.

In this research, a rigorous comparative analysis of these tools has been conducted. Through this analysis, the key elements that make up a robust risk management application have been identified. Additionally, the strengths, similarities, and opportunities for improvement present in these tools have been evaluated. These findings have been essential for the creation of an innovative solution that aims to address the deficiencies detected in existing applications.

The final proposal is a software design solution that brings together the necessary features for risk mitigation in SMEs. By unifying the components, functions, and characteristics of the top 10 existing tools, a comprehensive solution has been conceived that covers various critical aspects for businesses, such as occupational health and safety, human resources, accounting, planning, logistics, and other business processes. This will allow SMEs to have an efficient tool that supports their operations and business decisions.

The importance of this project lies in its contribution to improving the processes of SMEs through the implementation of highly functional software adaptable to their specific needs. Risk management is not only essential for preventing financial losses but also for ensuring the continuity of operations and the safety of employees. In a constantly changing business environment, this solution provides SMEs with the ability to adapt and thrive, which is crucial for their sustainability and long-term growth.
