Abstract

El presente artículo tiene como propósito explorar la relación que existe entre un grupo de procesos logísticos importantes de micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (Mipymes) manufactureras colombianas. A través de un número reducido de factores se simplifica la visión de los análisis realizados a este tipo de empresas tanto desde la práctica como desde la literatura. Para ello se utiliza una metodología basada en análisis estadísticos multivariados. El uso de análisis de elementos permite tener una visión general y descriptiva de los procesos logísticos empresariales. El análisis factorial exploratorio, por su parte, permite obtener un conjunto de factores que explican mejor los procesos, mientras un análisis factorial confirmatorio permite corroborar la validez de dichos factores en una muestra de Mipymes. Los principales hallazgos consideran cuatro factores principales que mejor representan y relacionan los procesos logísticos y de impacto logístico considerados para las Mipymes con un alto nivel de validez estadístico. Esta investigación considera un número limitado de empresas manufactureras y asume que los procesos que se tomaron en cuenta representan la logística de una empresa, de acuerdo con la literatura. Finalmente, se presenta la simplificación, mediante análisis estadísticos, de los problemas logísticos de Mipymes manufactureras en mercados emergentes como la principal aportación del presente artículo. || The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship that exists between a group of important logistics processes of Colombian micro, small and medium-sized manufacturing companies (MSMEs). Through a reduced number of factors, the vision of the analyzes carried out on this type of companies is simplified both from practice and from literature. For this, a methodology based on multivariate statistical analysis is used. The use of element analysis allows to have a general and descriptive vision of the business logistics processes. The exploratory factor analysis, for its part, allows obtaining a set of factors that better explain the processes, while a confirmatory factor analysis allows corroborating the validity of these factors in a sample of MSMEs. The main findings consider four main factors that best represent and relate the logistics and logistics impact processes considered for MSMEs with a high level of statistical validity. This research considers a limited number of manufacturing companies and assumes that the processes that were taken into account represent the logistics of a company, according to the literature. Finally, the simplification, through statistical analysis, of the logistics problems of manufacturing MSMEs in emerging markets is presented as the main contribution of this article.
