Abstract

The current study focused on optimizing the purchasing system of "La Piladora", with emphasis on evaluating and qualifying suppliers. After an in-depth analysis of the internal situation, critical areas and problems in current purchasing management were detected. This led to identifying specific supplier evaluation and qualification methods aligned with the company's needs. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology stood out for its ability to handle multiple variables and offer a comprehensive view of supplier performance. A detailed methodology was proposed that included a scoring system and the creation of a supplier catalog using this method. The results suggest that the implementation of this methodology can significantly improve the efficiency of the purchasing process of "La Piladora". It is anticipated that this will facilitate supplier selection, improve operational efficiency and enable more effective risk management. In summary, this project offers a valuable contribution to the company by providing an effective and customized framework for managing its suppliers, with the potential to drive notable improvements in its purchasing system.
