Publicación Análisis de prefactibilidad para la creación de una empresa de lavado ecológico de automóviles livianos a domicilio en la ciudad de Manizales, incorporando soluciones basadas en inteligencia artificial (IA)(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Castro Leal, Manuel Felipe; Tabares Ospina, Alejandro; Guerrero Latorre, Jorge Harley; González Grajales, SamfirThis pre-feasibility analysis seeks to provide key preliminary elements for the proper creation of an eco-friendly car wash company for light vehicles under a home service delivery model in the city of Manizales, accompanied by AI-based solutions for process optimization. Those responsible for this study developed through various stages the necessary tools that allowed identifying the main characteristics of the car wash sector, user preferences and the entire legal, environmental, technical and organizational context required to provide the highest value scheme that promotes responsible financial developments. The methodology used for this study was descriptive with a mixed data analysis under the reference of the ONUDI methodology, which provided the possibility to carry out an adequate planning process and thus guarantee a correct evaluation of the project at the pre-feasibility level.Publicación Estudio comparativo de requisitos legales para la formulación de planes de manejo integral de residuos sólidos en propiedades horizontales de los municipios del área metropolitana del valle de Aburrá (AMVA)(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Murillo Palacios, Sully Melissa; Hernández Pardo, Yeiny Yuliett; Henao Arango, María CeciliaHorizontal properties located within the municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley (AMVA) are mandated to design and implement processes underpinning environmental management, specifically within the domain of solid waste governance, through the formulation and execution of Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plans (PMIRS). Accordingly, the unification of operational guidelines that regulate both the generation and the appropriate management of solid waste across the region becomes imperative. This study employs a qualitative, documentary-based methodology aimed at examining the prevailing legal framework, as well as the conceptual foundations and benefits associated with the implementation of PMIRS. Furthermore, it reviews the assessment and sanctioning methodologies currently in force. Legal provisions are identified according to their scope of application, their relevance to the horizontal property regime within the AMVA is analyzed, and a comparative matrix of existing environmental regulations is developed. The findings suggest the need for coordinated improvement strategies to coherently orient the processes implemented in each municipality. As a strategic outcome, the elaboration of a Metropolitan Unified PMIRS Manual is proposed, designed to consolidate an integrated, sustainable, and regionally articulated environmental management model.Publicación Estudio de prefactibilidad para la producción y comercialización de terneros con genética mejorada mediante inseminación artificial(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Franco Ramírez, Santiago; Gómez Salazar, Elkin ArcesioThe proposed study focuses on evaluating the feasibility of implementing artificial insemination on a beef cattle farm located in Colombia. The main objective is to determine whether this technology can significantly increase the farm's profitability. To conduct this analysis, a structured pre-feasibility approach will be implemented to assess the project's market, technical, economic, legal, sectoral, organizational, and environmental viability. The research will include a detailed analysis of the factors to consider for artificial insemination in a cattle herd for its successful implementation on a farm in Colombia. The costs associated with implementing this technology will also be evaluated, including semen acquisition, personnel hiring, and the necessary equipment. A key aspect of the study will be defining the costs and benefits of artificial insemination and how external factors that may influence the project's viability, such as government policies, input prices, and beef demand, will be considered. A detailed implementation plan will also be developed, including a schedule of activities, a budget, and an analysis of potential risks. The results of this study will allow for an informed decision on the appropriateness of adopting artificial insemination as a strategy to improve the productivity and profitability of the livestock farm.Publicación Estudio de prefactibilidad para la construcción de una terminal de transporte terrestre en el municipio de Amaga a través de una Asociación Pública-Privada (APP)(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Sampedro Herrera, Leandro; Gómez Salazar, Elkin ArcesioIn Colombia, the Political Constitution of 1991, under Article 311, establishes that “municipalities are the fundamental entities of the State’s political-administrative division; they are responsible for providing the public services determined by law, building the projects required for local progress, and managing territorial development…” (Republic of Colombia, 1991). This framework creates significant administrative, financial, and political challenges for municipalities as they strive to promote and carry out their various initiatives. The dynamics and needs of each municipality are unique, and every elected government seeks to contribute to the common good. However, municipal budgets are not sufficient to cover the needs of all residents—Amagá is no exception. According to DANE, the municipality reported a multidimensional poverty rate of 22.9% in 2024 (DANE, 2025). Currently, Amagá faces a critical challenge in road infrastructure, particularly due to the absence of a ground transportation terminal that could bring together all public transportation companies. At present, these operators carry out their activities in the town’s main square, resulting in the loss of public space and creating ongoing risks for all road users. In this context, one proposed solution is the construction of a ground transportation terminal in Amagá financed through a public-private partnership (PPP), which “is a mechanism that allows the private sector to participate in providing public goods and services linked to infrastructure” (DNP, 2013). The development of this strategic project would not only improve mobility and road safety but also drive the municipality’s economic growth.Publicación Lecciones aprendidas : casos de éxito y mejoras durante la implementación del programa de sostenibilidad de Intentional Sourcing en los municipios de Quinchía y La Celia Risaralda(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Guerrero Arias, Yovany Andrés; Henao Arango, Maria CeciliaRGC Coffee is a Canadian coffee importing company, which is committed to the sustainable supply of coffee to different clients abroad, and at the same time is a strategic ally for roaster suppliers and retail brands around the world. The strategy of RGC Coffee is to invest the premiums generated by the commercialization of green coffee in the zones from where the product is being supplied. For this purpose, sustainability projects are generated through cooperatives, where the capital generated now of doing business with the final client is reinvested with the associates of the zone of impact. In relation to the above, the objective of this paper is to analyze and document the lessons learned during the first year of implementation of one of the sustainability programs that RGC Coffee has with the U.S. company Tree House through the Intentional Sourcing program in the municipalities of Quinchía and La Celia Risaralda, thus seeking to generate recommendations that help to have a greater impact on future projects of the company. This document was based on the methodology of the Inter-American Development Bank and through the analysis of the results of surveys, interviews and document review to finally obtain the cases of success and failure, as well as some general recommendations of great utility for future sustainability projects.Publicación Análisis de madurez en proyectos y diseño de una PMO en empresa Tecnas S.A. BIC(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Orozco Arias, Diana Marcela; Gómez Salazar, Elkin ArcesioPublicación Estudio de prefactibilidad para el desarrollo de un centro de bienestar con enfoque en experiencias sensoriales para la salud integral mediante la metodología ONUDI(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Estrada Osorno, Carolina; Restrepo Retrepo, Laura Isabel; Guerrero Latorre, Jorge ArleyThis tesis presents a prefeasibility study for the creation of a wellness center focused on sensory experiences, aimed at strengthening overall health and preventing or reducing disorders such as anxiety, depression, and stress. The research applies the UNIDO methodology, which systematically evaluates the technical, financial, legal, environmental, and market aspects of the project. The proposal is based on Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy (MBAT), an approach that integrates mindfulness techniques meditation, yoga, conscious breathing with artistic and sensory activities, such as clay modeling, mandalas, chromotherapy, and aromatherapy. The goal is to activate all five senses to promote emotional self regulation and balance between body and mind. The concept arises in response to the global increase in mental health problems, intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Colombia, more than 60% of the population has experienced some issue in this area, with limited access to early care. This highlights the need for preventive and complementary approaches to traditional treatments. The study includes sector and environmental analysis, market research, technical design, regulatory review, financial evaluation, and risk analysis. A mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) is adopted, using surveys and tools such as PESTEL and Porter’s Five Forces. The results of the sector analysis show low direct competition and limited threat from new entrants, although with high bargaining power on the part of clients. The PESTEL analysis reveals a favorable political and legal framework, sustained growth in the wellness sector, increasing social awareness of mental health, technological opportunities, and a marked trend toward environmental sustainability. Market research in Medellín, focused on middle and high-income segments, confirms interest and willingness to pay for comprehensive wellness services. The technical study defines location, space distribution, supplies, and staff profiles; the administrative component proposes an efficient organizational structure; and the legal analysis establishes the licensing, tax, and environmental requirements necessary for operation. From a financial standpoint, the study calculates initial investment, capital structure, revenue projections, and operating costs, resulting in positive profitability indicators. The risk analysis identifies threats in operational, legal, commercial, and financial areas, proposing mitigation strategies to ensure sustainability. In summary, the study demonstrates that conducting a full feasibility assessment is viable, as all evaluated aspects show positive outcomes and the project has strong potential for market differentiation. Its innovative therapeutic approach, backed by scientific evidence, positions it as an effective and sustainable alternative to promote mental health and overall well-being in the Colombian context.Publicación Estudio de prefactibilidad para la creación de una granja agrovoltaica (APV) en Paz de Ariporo, Casanare (Colombia) utilizando la metodología ONUDI(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Gómez, Carlos Humberto; Tobar Guinand, José MauricioThis pre-feasibility study evaluates the viability of constructing and operating an agrivoltaic (APV) farm at Las Delicias, located in the village of La Peral, municipality of Paz de Ariporo, Casanare (Colombia). The project proposes a generation capacity of 0,99 MW from solar energy, enabling the production of clean electricity and the simultaneous use of land for agricultural activities beneath the solar panels. The project's viability depends on a detailed analysis of regulatory, economic, and technological factors, as well as its alignment with the region’s energy and environmental needs. To this end, both external and internal factors that may influence its implementation are examined, considering the global energy transition, climate change, the Colombian regulatory framework, and the area's solar potential. Furthermore, the methodology of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is used to structure the study and ensure a rigorous and methodologically sound evaluation.Publicación Lecciones aprendidas en la gestión de proyectos de diversidad e inclusión en empresas privadas colombianas : un análisis basado en testimonios de expertos(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Flórez Ibáñez, María José; González Restrepo, Juana María; Osorio Lema, Edwin AlexisThis undergraduate thesis analyzes the lessons learned in managing Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) projects in Colombian private companies, using a mixed-method approach that combines expert interviews with surveys of project leaders and key actors. Through the case study of “Por Talento” by Comfama and collected testimonies, the research identifies common barriers, effective strategies, and practical recommendations to improve the planning, implementation, and evaluation of inclusive projects. The study reveals that committed leadership, continuous training, accessible design, post-inclusion support, and impact measurement are fundamental pillars for building equitable and sustainable work environments. It concludes that strategically managed D&I not only enhances organizational development but also contributes to Colombia’s broader social transformation.

A comprehensive analysis was conducted, encompassing sectoral, technical, legal, environmental, administrative, financial, and risk-related aspects, using the UNIDO methodology. The findings indicate that, although the initiative is not feasible from a strict financial standpoint, it represents a significant social and environmental value, since it contributes to rural sanitation, the protection of water sources, and the achievement of sustainable development goals. The evaluation considered the local context and the non-commercial nature of the project, concluding that its relevance is justified by the collective benefits it generates, beyond monetary returns.Publicación Lecciones aprendidas en el proyecto de reindustrialización del Renault Kwid en SOFASA(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Gómez Zuluaga, Valentina; Cuartas Montoya, Camila; Henao Arango, Maria CeciliaPublicación Estudio de prefactibilidad para la apertura de un restaurante en Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Carvajal Castro, Miguel Ángel; Diez Benjumea, Jhon MiguelPublicación Liderazgo inclusivo en equipos de proyectos de infraestructura urbana del sector público en Bogotá : prácticas y posibilidades de mejora para la integración de equipos diversos(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Palacios Robledo, Yosdy Lorent; López Gallego, Francisco DaríoThis study collects experiences of good practices in inclusive leadership for the management of diverse teams within Bogota’s urban infrastructure sector, with the purpose of making strategic recommendations to strengthen integration, equity, and cohesion. A qualitative methodology was applied, based on semi-structured interviews with public sector project leaders. Among the main findings are obstacles related to communication, biases, and institutional rigidity, as well as strategies of flexibility, participation, and flat hierarchies that foster cohesion. The study concludes that, to improve organizational climate and performance in public projects, inclusive leadership requires sustained commitment, clear policies, and openness to diversity in order.Publicación Estudio de prefactibilidad de la producción y comercialización de frass orgánico y proteína animal, a partir de la bioconversión de residuos de uva pasa y algarroba en la industria licorera de caldas(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Castro Chica, Juanita; Pinzón Henao, Daniela; Henao Arango, María Cecilia; Gómez Salazar, Elkin ArcesioPublicación Análisis de prefactibilidad de la implementación de una flota de buses eléctricos en el sistema estratégico de transporte público para la ciudad de Sincelejo(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Acuña Méndez, Alberto Eduardo; Guerrero Latorre, Jorge HarleyPublicación Lecciones aprendidas para evaluar la madurez en gestión de proyectos en la empresa Corbeta S.

Through the application of the methodology of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (ONUDI), eight comprehensive studies were developed: sectoral, market, technical, environmental, administrative, legal, financial, and risk assessment. The analysis allowed for the identification of the internal and external conditions that affect the project's viability, including the necessary infrastructure for the roasting plant, regulatory requirements for export, dynamics of the international market, and the main risks associated with the operation. The study becomes relevant by proposing an export plan that adds value to coffee through its transformation into a finished product, generating higher profit margins for producers and strengthening their commercial autonomy. From the project management perspective, strategies are proposed to optimize resources, reduce uncertainty, and ensure the sustainability of the export process over a 10-year horizon, thereby contributing to local economic development and the welfare of the coffee-growing families that are part of the association.
