Capacidad operativa de la gestión de desechos sólidos en el cantón Gonzalo Pizarro, Ecuador

Abstract

Companies are in constant competition and improvement in economic performance, which is why they are influenced by their operational capabilities. The study of operational capacity is important and becomes increasingly relevant given that companies and industries are carrying out continuous improvement processes, using their resources to the maximum in order to maintain their permanence in the market. Environmental management within the municipal decentralized autonomous governments includes several activities aimed at conserving the environment and proposing tasks for conservation, being very important to know the operational capacity, taking into account the powers established in the different legal instruments. The objective of this research is to establish a technical tool on which the Annual Operating Plan and the Annual Purchasing Plan are planned in the Environment Management Department, to perform the functions regarding each of the environmental activities according to the exclusive competencies in terms of comprehensive management of solid waste. In accordance with the analysis carried out, the real capacity of the integral management of solid waste is 58,862 h/year, with an efficiency of 65.21%, this is due to variables of assignable causes that must be taken into account ( multiple jobs, continuous stoppages of machinery for corrective maintenance, unforeseen operational activities), which have nothing to do with operability and planning.
