El trabajo de investigación se enfocó en rediseñar la gestión de inventarios en una Estación de Servicios. El análisis reveló que la empresa pierde un monto de 74 336,88 soles, los cuales son originados rincipalmente por la falta de capacitación al personal de la empresa, dispensadores en mal estado, falta de instrumentos de medición precisos para medir inventarios y la falta de un sistema de gestión de inventarios. Para abordar estos desafíos, se propuso la implementación de un modelo de gestión de inventarios basado en el cálculo de inventarios de seguridad, puntos de reorden, junto con mejoras en los procesos logísticos, capacitación del personal y la adquisición de un sistema de medición por telemetría. La evaluación económica respaldó la viabilidad de estas mejoras, al mostrar un Valor Actual Neto (VAN) a 5 años de 64 278,89 soles, una Tasa Interna de Retorno (TIR) del 111,3%, un Beneficio Costo de 1,65 soles y un período de recuperación de 255 días. En resumen, esta investigación identificó desafíos, ofreció soluciones efectivas y generó resultados positivos en la gestión de inventarios que tuvieron un impacto directo en la disminución de las ventas no percibidas. / The research work focused on redesigning inventory management in a Service Station. The analysis revealed that the company loses an amount of 74 336,88 soles, which are mainly caused by the lack of training for the company's personnel, dispensers in poor condition, lack of precise measuring instruments to measure inventories and the lack of an inventory management system. To address these challenges, the implementation of an inventory management model based on the calculation of safety inventories, reorder points, along with improvements in logistics processes, staff training and the acquisition of a telemetry measurement system was proposed. The economic evaluation supported the viability of these improvements, showing a 5-year Net Present Value (NPV) of 64 278,89 soles, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 111,3%, a Cost Benefit of 1,65 soles and a recovery period of 255 days. In summary, this research identified challenges, offered effective solutions, and generated positive inventory management results that had a direct impact on decreasing lost sales.

Sammanfattning Titel: Vildsvinskedjan – En utvärderingsstudie av handeln av vildsvinskött i södra Sverige Kurs: Kandidatuppsats Civilekonomprogrammet, Controller 15 hp (2FE24E) Lärosäte: Ekonomihögskolan vid Linnéuniversitet Växjö Författare: Victoria Fagerlund Larsson, Anton Lindh och Max Börjesson Handledare: Elin Funck Examinator: Pia Nylinder   Nyckelord: Logistikprocesser, processer, trånga sektioner, flaskhalsar, effektivitet, kvalitet, produktivitet, kartläggning, utvärdering och Supply Chain Management. Bakgrund: Det finns problem med handeln av vildsvinskött, där det idag inte är mer än 15% av köttet som når den legala marknaden. Detta beror på de hinder och flaskhalsar som existerar i kedjan som i dagsläget hindrar en effektiv kedja. Den resterande delen av köttet förbrukas antingen av jägarna själva eller för populationskontroll och skadedjursskjutning då vildsvin kan orsaka stora skador på bönders verksamhet. Detta leder till att det sker ett stort svinn av helt ätbart kött som hade kunnat säljas på en marknad. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att kartlägga logistikkedjan för vildsvinskött i södra Sverige. Genom kartläggningen identifieras svårigheter som finns inom logistikkedjan idag. Utifrån relevant teori ges förslag på potentiella förbättringar. Genom att överkomma svårigheterna möjliggörs en mer effektiv logistikkedja, med mer vildsvinskött på marknaden och ökad lönsamhet för de olika aktörerna som verkar inom kedjan. Metod: I uppsatsen har en processutvärdering använts för att kunna få en överblick över processerna och vad som behöver förändras. Den empiriska materialinsamlingen gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Slutsats: I uppsatsen har handeln av vildsvinskött kartlagts. Hinder har identifierats och förslag presenterats. En av de tydligaste slutsatserna har visat sig vara stora fluktuationerna i både utbud och efterfrågan vilket innebär att det är svårt att göra prognoser, vilket vi ändå föreslår att man gör. Digitaliseras prognoserna skulle informationsutbytet bli betydligt bättre då butiker och anläggningar skulle kunna dela prognoser om utbud och efterfrågan med varandra. Det hade lett till ett bättre in- och utflöde på marknaden vilket slutligen resulterat i en bättre fungerande handel av vildsvinskött. / Abstract Title: The wild boar chain- An evaluation study of the market of wild boar meat in southern Sweden Course: Bachelor Thesis in Business Administration, Controller 15 hp (2FE24E) Institution: School of Business and Economics at Linnaeus University in Växjö Authors: Victoria Fagerlund Larsson, Anton Lindh and Max Börjesson Tutor: Elin Funck Examiner: Pia Nylinder   Keywords: Logistics processes, processes, narrow section, bottleneck, efficiency, improvement, quality, productivity, process mapping and evaluation. Background: No more than 15% of wild boar meat reaches the market because of the issues surrounding the market. It exists of obstacles and bottlenecks in the chain that hinder an effective market. The rest of the 85% of wild boar meat that does not reach the market is consumed by hunters and wasted because of population control and pest control because wild boars cause damage for farmers. This leads to partially wasted meat which could have been sold on the market for profits. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to map the process of the logistic chain for wild boar meat in southern Sweden. The difficulties that exist today in the logistic chain will be identified through process mapping. We also give suggestions for potential improvements, supported by relevant theory. Overcoming these difficulties will enable a more efficient logistic chain, with more wild boar meat on the market and increased profitability for the different actors that operate within the chain. Method: This essay uses a process evaluation study to be able to get an overview of the processes and what needs to change. The empirical material was collected through semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: The market for wild boar meat in Sweden has been identified through process mapping. Problems have been visualized and potential solutions have been presented. This paper has showed large fluctuations in both demand and supply. That means that it is difficult to make forecasts. We suggest forecasts as a tool for predicting the fluctuations. The sharing of information between the different parties will be considerably better if stores and the plants that handle wild boar meat in Sweden digitalize the forecasts. That would increase the inflow and the outflow to the market. This would result in a better logistic chain for wild boar meat.

For this reason, to perform the analysis of the answers provided, the statistical program SPSS was used, in order to be able to evaluate the hypotheses that were raised. In this way, it was possible to determine that the logistics processes are related to fishmeal exports such as inventory management, storage, purchases and transportation. / Tesis

Reverse logistics is an important process that is often misunderstood. Reverse logistics can cause considerable cost, but provide numerous opportunities. Many organisations do not understand the correct processes and procedures to follow and how to manage reverse logistics efficiently. The focus of this study was on best practices in reverse logistics. A best practice framework was developed to help organisations overcome problems and manage their reverse logistics more efficiently. This study adopted a mixed method research approach with both qualitative and quantitative elements. A comprehensive literature study was conducted to develop a conceptual best practice framework in reverse logistics and a survey was conducted to seek inputs from industry in South Africa to refine the framework into a workable instrument in practice. The study concluded that the best practices identified in literature have proven to be important in practice, and applying such practices will enable organisations to manage their reverse logistics more efficiently. / Business Management / M.
