    (2025) MEJIA CHUEZ PATRICIA ANDREINA
    This thesis aims to investigate how the implementation of a cloud platform can optimize the supply chain in a company within the agrochemical sector, improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enabling faster, more accurate decision-making. In a context of growing complexity, agrochemical companies face challenges related to inventory management, distribution logistics, and coordination between suppliers and distributors. By adopting Cloud Computing technologies, the goal is to enhance real-time process visibility, providing greater flexibility and responsiveness to market demand and conditions. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. A detailed analysis of the company’s supply chain infrastructure was conducted through expert interviews and historical data analysis to identify areas for improvement. The platform’s design focuses on integrating various digital tools to automate processes, control inventory in real-time, and improve communication across supply chain actors. Expected outcomes include optimized logistics flows, reduced operational costs, and improved customer satisfaction through more agile and efficient service. Additionally, the cloud platform is anticipated to provide the company with greater adaptability to unforeseen market changes by enabling access to real-time data and analysis. The thesis also offers an analysis of the benefits and challenges of adopting Cloud Computing, proposing best practices to ensure successful implementation.

    EL ROL DE LA CULTURA ORGANIZACIONAL EN LA REINTEGRACIÓN LABORAL DE MUJERES POST- EMBARAZO
    (2025) RAMIREZ SOTOMAYOR CAROL SALOME
    The reintegration of women after pregnancy is a complex challenge that involves a series of organizational, social and personal factors. This thesis aims to analyze the impact of organizational culture on the return of post-pregnancy women, with special emphasis on aspects related to labor welfare, gender equity, and corporate policies that favor an inclusive environment. Organizational culture plays a determining role in the reintegration process, as it directly influences perceptions and behaviors within the company. In this context, organizations with inclusive cultures, which promote gender equity and support for working mothers, contribute to the well-being of female employees, which in turn impacts their productivity and commitment. This study also addresses the legal regulations that protect the rights of pregnant and post-pregnant women, with a particular focus on Ecuadorian laws. Despite legislative advances, challenges persist in the effective implementation of these laws, which can lead to workplace discrimination and harassment, affecting the psychological well-being and productivity of female workers. Finally, the study also examines the psychological challenges women face when returning to work after pregnancy, highlighting the importance of social and organizational support in their adjustment to work.

    DESARROLLO DE MÉTODOS PARA LA INCLUSIÓN FINANCIERA EN ZONAS RURALES DEL ECUADOR Y EL IMPACTO QUE GENERARA EN SU ECONOMÍA.
    (2025) FRANK MUENTES CRISTHIAN ALEX
    Financial inclusion is a multidimensional term that allows society to achieve well-being through equal opportunities, being an important pillar in the economic development of citizens. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the current state of financial inclusion in Ecuador and propose strategies to expand access to financial services to the most vulnerable segments of the population. For its preparation, a descriptive and documentary methodology was applied with a qualitative approach through the methods of bibliographic review and documentary analysis where relevant information was collected on the indexes of financial inclusion and financial products or services most in demand currently through books, scientific articles, data from the last five years published on official websites such as the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE), National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC), among others. The results obtained showed that, in Ecuador, poverty rates in rural areas are high with 17% of citizens living in poverty while 3.9% live in extreme poverty, reflecting the lack of economic opportunities that these most vulnerable groups have and the limited access to financial services. On the other hand, it was possible to show that, in the country, there is a growing trend in the use of financial products, since in 2021 and 2023 this increase is expected. From this, it is concluded that financial inclusion in these rural areas is a determining factor to combat poverty and promote economic development.

    ANÁLISIS DE FACTIBILIDAD PARA LA IMPLEMENTACIÓN DEL PROCESO REGISTRO DE FACTURAS MEDIANTE ROBÓTICA DE PROCESOS (RPA)
    (2025) CASTRO VARON GRACE ESTEFANIA
    This thesis collects all the information about the problems in electronic invoicing that arise when accumulating electronic and physical invoices from both clients and suppliers and payment control. Within the analysis, it was determined that the bottleneck is located in the time lost when entering invoices, especially at the end of the month, and the high level of errors that occur when entering data for billing control. To this end, the implementation of the invoice registration process through process robotics (RPA) is analyzed within the following T.F.M. The automation of processes with RPA allows companies to generate significant savings in time and costs, mitigate errors, and increase productivity, by freeing up time for employees by replacing their work in repetitive and daily tasks, reaching, according to studies by Deloitte Ecuador, savings of between 70% and 80%. Which is raised in the feasibility of using this system in terms of time and costs, so that this reference document is taken for future implementation.

The approach was of a mixed nature (Quantitative and Qualitative), managed under a Descriptive and Non-Experimental design. To this end, surveys and interviews were developed with the following dimensions: the independent variable identified the efficiency in the generation of invoices, the recovery of the portfolio and the time of resolution of complaints in the Customer Service area, and the dimension of the dependent variable was identified to the operational efficiency of the institution. The positions to which the surveys were applied are the Coordinators of the Commercial Unit, Portfolio Recovery, Customer Service Management, and assistants in the billing and cashier area, Coactive/Collection, financial, customer service, marketing and distribution. . 100% of the interviewees indicated that since they do not have KPI indicators, the correct progress of the processes cannot be measured and controlled, without being able to verify and compare the efficiency of the actions taken. Finally, it is concluded that the implementation of the proposed KPI indicators, allowed the operational evolution, due to a better management in billing, collection and customer service issues of the PE.

    Aplicación de la norma ISO 31000:2009 en la mitigación de riesgos y su relación con la calidad de servicio
    (2025) TRIVIÑO CASTRO EIVI EDUARDO
    The objective of this study is to analyze the aspects that make up the application of the ISO 31000:2009 standard in risk mitigation in order to determine its relationship with service quality. The conceptual approach of the study establishes its theoretical foundations on regulatory processes, internal control, and regulations to identify and mitigate risks. The methodological approach is qualitative, since through a bibliographic and documentary review, a brief proposal was designed on the ISO 31000 standard with the purpose of mitigating business risks and improving customer service to internal collaborators and citizens. The result was that in Ecuador, the quality of service offered by employees in operational or high-impact criticality areas does not apply to the ISO 31000:2009 standard. Furthermore, the processes and risk plans are not fully covered by the company's guidelines. This allows us to conclude that the application of this standard effectively impacts the consideration of all possible scenarios that could directly or indirectly affect the company's business continuity, using tools to mitigate risks.

    LA CULTURA ORGANIZACIONAL Y SU INCIDENCIA EN LA ATENCIÓN AL USUARIO EN LA DIRECCIÓN DEL IESS AZUAY
    (2025) MORA DUTAN ELIANA ISABEL
    The aim of the study was to impact the quality of customer service in a healthcare institution by strengthening and managing organizational culture. For this purpose, the SERVQUAL method and the OCAI instrument were applied to establish the impact of organizational culture on the perception of external customers' satisfaction. Thanks to these two research methodologies on the perception of satisfaction and the type of organizational culture possessed by the entity, the level of influence and the areas that need improvement to achieve high levels of customer service quality were determined. The contrast of the obtained information exposes the impact of organizational culture on service quality and the gaps between customer expectations and satisfaction perception. These research methodologies facilitated decision-making and the identification of problems such as the negative impact of a hierarchical organizational culture on customer service, as well as the lack of innovation affecting the perception of service quality. Staff actions in response to customer needs, the innovation of tangible elements, and the effectiveness of the service process against the staff's need to be competitive and complete tasks make customers not perceive quality and satisfaction in the service received.

    Aplicación del código ético como estrategia de prevención del nepotismo en entidades de la administración pública ecuatoriana.
    (2025) OLEAS NAREA ELIANA ANTONELLA
    This study analyzes the effectiveness of the code of ethics as a strategy to prevent nepotism in Ecuadorian public institutions, specifically in the Ministries of Transportation, Housing, Finance, Public Health, and the ARCSA (National Commission for the Promotion of Nepotism). The methodological approach is qualitative, based on a documentary review of codes of ethics, institutional regulations, resolutions, and official websites, complemented by a systematic review of national and international literature. Four key dimensions were evaluated: institutional transparency, impartiality and meritocracy, ethical oversight mechanisms, and institutional perception of the code of ethics. The sample corresponds to five central-level public entities, whose regulatory officers have powers over administrative and human talent processes. The findings indicate that, while most entities have a formal code of ethics, its application is limited and lacks effective oversight and sanction mechanisms. Meritocratic practices are not fully implemented, and transparency in selection processes remains deficient in several institutions. Furthermore, there is evidence of low appropriation of the code of ethics by public officials, which weakens its legitimacy as a preventive tool. It is concluded that the mere existence of a code of ethics is not sufficient to prevent nepotism: it is essential to accompany it with monitoring mechanisms, proportional sanctions, and ongoing ethics training that allow for the institutionalization of a culture of integrity and effective public oversight.

While a proposal for an administrative management model as an improvement of the budgeted discharge and the quality of service to internal and external clients. The results indicated that there is a marked tendency to reduce the protection of resources each year by the central government in relation to the expenses of outsourced services, specifically hospital cleaning services for USD 2,397,121.4 and private security for an amount of $378,739.38 dollars. Therefore, it is concluded that the lack of budget for outsourced hospital cleaning and private security services demonstrates the lack of commitment on the part of the central government towards users; which implies that the administrative management model in the elimination of financial resources benefits the citizens of the public sector, offering efficiency and quality in their resources.
