Abstract
The adult population, who searches for foods that are beneficial to health, is the predominant consumer of the growing Colombian bakery sector, thus posing a challenge for it in order to generate a high-quality product. The purpose of this research was to analyze the application of logistics processes in the bakery sector of MSMEs in Valledupar, reviewing aspects such as the diagnosis of the current situation regarding logistics in the company, followed by an analysis of production costs, and the management of demand and purchase forecasts in the different MSMEs in the city. Ballou (2004), Castellanos (2015), Guerrero (2017), Mora & Martinez (2010), Saldarriaga (2014), Eslava (2019), among others, were used as references. It was conducted as an applied, non experimental, field, descriptive and cross-sectional research. The population consisted of 30 MSMEs from the bakery sector. The reliability of the instrument was determined with Cronbach's alpha, resulting in 0.919; while the significance was calculated using the Anova analysis, resulting in 0.000. This indicates that there are differences between the means of the macroprocesses and microprocesses dimensions. Furthermore, with the post-hoc Tukey test, the first major differences in the logistics of inventories showed that in the case of the indicator of logistics cost management and the second dimension, the use of raw materials has greater differences with the performance of the machines, demonstrating the great weaknesses that the bakery sector presents in the application of logistics processes.
