Abstract

The general objective of this work is to prepare a proposal to optimize the purchasing and storage processes at the "Maleja" poultry farm located in the rural area of Santa Marta. The research is descriptive with a quantitative approach. A diagnosis was carried out by visiting the farm and interviewing the purchasing manager, identifying opportunities for improvement. It is proposed to implement a supplier selection plan and a Kardex system for inventory management. These improvements are expected to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs and improve input sourcing. The conclusions highlight the potential positive impact of the proposal on aspects such as availability of inputs, reduction of losses and decision making. Among the recommendations is training staff and establishing alliances with reliable suppliers Keywords: purchasing management, supplier evaluation, Kardex system, poultry farm.
