IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE UN PROCESO DE REMATE DE BIENES DE PROPIEDAD Y SU INCIDENCIA EN LA OPTIMIZACIÓN DE RECURSOS. CASO, EMPRESA ELÉCTRICA QUITO

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the asset auction process at Empresa Eléctrica Quito (EEQ) and its impact on the optimization of

institutional resources. A qualitative approach was used, based on semi- structured interviews with key officials and a review of institutional

documents. The analysis of the results allowed the identification of deficiencies in asset management, such as the accumulation of obsolete inventories, the low execution of disposal plans and the lack of automated processes. It was shown that inefficiency in the auction of assets negatively affects the optimization of financial, material and human resources. Factors such as the lack of interdepartmental coordination, the scarce regulatory update and the limited training of personnel contribute to these deficiencies. It is concluded that the adoption of asset management technologies, the improvement in strategic planning and the continuous training of personnel are essential to optimize resources at EEQ. This study provides evidence-based recommendations to improve the management of public assets, promoting operational efficiency and financial sustainability in the Ecuadorian public sector.
