Modelo de dise？o de nodos de integración en las cadenas de suministro

the weak integration between companies in the supply chains, the fact that companies do not have a procedure that enables them to identify the parameters and indicators of coordination that should be established between their operating processes, the inefficient integrated management of resources and capabilities and the inadequate use of contracts as a tool of coordination between the actors in the supply chain; are elements that characterize cuban business practice of supply chains. this paper studies the bases of the model for the design of integration nodes in supply chains and applications thereof. the proposed model is intended as a design tool and at the same time, it supports the decision making on the processes. it is showed that with the application of the model and its procedure, the chain performs better and increases its integration. as the fundamental conclusion it is obtained that the model is fully applicable and it provides multiple positive results for the cuban business practice.
