Diseño y validación de un modelo de optimización considerando indicadores de sustentabilidad del Proyecto Suma en MIPYMES textiles

Abstract

MiPymes in Latin America and Ecuador are the main generators of income and employment, in addition to being distinguished by having a large representation of the workforce in its production processes. Despite this, the textile industry in Ecuador has high levels of stagnation. The research problem arises from the lack of integration of sustainability and optimization concepts in critical processes, which ones are fundamental for the development of a company. The main objective of this degree work is to design and validate a multi- objective optimization model integrating sustainability concepts to replicate it in other textil enterprises.The study methodology began in the literature review through Fink method. After, the critical processes were defined and selected through Quality Function Development matrix and Porter value chain. Next, a global set was selected from a set of 211 indicators established in SUMA project through methodologies like PCA and AHP.Later, the indicators were integrated from Sustainability Balanced Scorecard methodology to design the multiobjective optimization model based on sustainability indicators, the same one that decided the number of units to be produced from the use of alternative energies.Finally, the model was validated in two study cases by using analytic sceneries methodology in GAMS software which allowed verifying its robustness to present the obtained results.
