    Análisis de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) de productos derivados cárnicos : explorando la relación entre sostenibilidad ambiental y económica
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Montoya Aguirre, Ana Milena; Ríos Gil, Estefanía; Polanco López de Mesa, Camilo
    This study analyzes the relationship between Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), environmental sustainability and costs in the market in two meat product references, using 500g of finished product as the functional unit. Using openLCA software, the production processes were modeled considering elementary flows and proxy processes constructed with primary and secondary data, respecting criteria of traceability and confidentiality. The AGRIBALYSE 3.2, ELCD 3.2 and ECCC databases were used, and the ReCiPe 2016 Endpoint (H) and IPCC 2013 GWP 100ª methods were applied to assess the environmental impact. The results indicate that the reference of higher cost generates higher impact, and that aspects such as the type of protein used in the raw material, energy efficiency, waste valorization and selection of raw materials significantly influence the environmental load. Opportunities for improvement were identified in thermal processes, formulations and packaging materials. It was also found that consumers value attributes such as nutritional quality and packaging when defining sustainability. The conclusions highlight the importance of communicating based on technical evidence, and of strengthening practices from the design and formulation of the product, industrial symbiosis and the selection of suppliers committed to sustainability. This study contributes to the understanding of how to integrate sustainability and economy in the decision making in the meat sector.

    Cobertura del riesgo de precio para productos cárnicos en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Villada Molano, Santiago; Santacruz Monroy, Daniel; Pantoja Robayo, Javier Orlando
    In the present research, a food Colombian company was studied which faced financial challenges related to the risk of meat product input prices. Because of this situation, the company decided to implement a financial hedge to mitigate the impact of meat product costs on the company's expenses. A comparison of different global commodity exchanges was made, as the Colombian gastronomic industry experiences constant variations in ingredient prices due to their fluctuation in the international market, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange was picked. It was proposed to carry out financial derivatives contracts to execute hedges against price risk in meat products, to ensure stable prices over time, and consequently, cost reduction. It was recommended to implement hedges not only within the company, but also across the entire gastronomic industry, as significant price reductions that positively impacted costs were observed.

    Estudio de viabilidad para la localización del centro de distribución de alimentos cárnicos S. A. S. – Grupo Nutresa en Bogotá D. C.
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2018) Perdomo Laguna, Germán; Tobar Guinand, José Mauricio
    Grupo Nutresa S. A. is the leading food processing company in Colombia, founded in 1920. Today it is present in Latin America, operating through strategic units denominated businesses: meat, chocolates, biscuits, coffees, ice creams, pastas, Consumer food and Tresmontes Lucchetti. April 22, 2016 Alimentos Cárnicos S. A. S., Company of the meat business, suffered a fire at its distribution center in Bogotá, with losses of 22,500 million pesos represented in finished products, infrastructure and equipment. With the formation of an interdisciplinary team of local and national leaders, it was possible to stabilize the logistics operation of the region, positively impacting its customers in Bogotá, Boyacá and Meta. This headquarters delivers 33% of the monthly sale of the business. After 6 months of operation in external offices, the logistics and commercial operation stabilized, the company decides to build its distribution center and requires a viability study to define the optimal location in order to maximize the profitability of the distribution network, reduce Working capital invested in inventories, eliminating dependence on third parts and maintaining customer satisfaction levels. The presidential committee defined that Fontibón and Puente Aranda would be the strategic zones to be evaluated, being developed industrial sectors, to have multiple road arteries that facilitate their access and by the current labor supply

    Secuenciación de la producción en Carnes Casablanca
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Duque Rengifo, Laura María; Vélez Gallego, Mario César
    Currently the world is facing new technologies and methodologies that leave aside manual labor and companies like Carnes Casa Blanca face these challenges, and due to the competition they must differentiate themselves, which is why the sequence of the production program is vital to minimize production costs and increase the efficiency of its plant. The sequence of the production program makes it possible to determine the way in which resources should be assigned for the efficient production of meat derivatives and at what moment they should be manufactured in order to comply with the requirements given by clients. The sequencing of production arises from a need to take into account delivery dates, production times, safety stocks, plant capacity and, as these are perishable products, it is important to take into account expiration dates. Taking into account all these variables, the dates and quantities to be produced are determined, complying with restrictions such as plant capacity, available shifts and product delivery dates. The purpose of this work is to find the appropriate order of execution of the work, which allows to optimize times and thus comply with the orders established by the clients, that is to say, a high level of service, thus generating more income and profitability for the company. Establishing the correct quantities at the right time reduces production costs that can be generated by overtime to comply with orders or production shortages.
