Optimización de la logística de recolección de desechos sólidos en el Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal del Cantón Salcedo.

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to optimize the logistics of solid waste collection in Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal of Salcedo Canton to improve the level of service to the population. To get this objective, the following methodology is applied: First, through a bibliographic research the concepts on logistics were defined. Second, through surveys, direct observation, references and bibliographic consultations, the method of routes planning and solid waste collection mcthods of GADMs were determined. The aim is to decide the resources that are involved in the service. Third, through the application of methods and times techniques, the time pattern of solid waste collection was determined. Finally, through the use of operation research methods, the methodology to optimize the logistics of solid waste collection of GADMs was designed. The results obtained in the investigation are: solid waste generation is 7.72 ton/day; families use the sidewalk method which may cause people or animals disperse the waste. The percentage of solid waste that is collected is 66.6%, the mileage covered by the garbage truck is 11 m. In conclusion, through the optimization, the 6.44 Km mileage covered was reduced by 6.44 Km, there was an increase in the percentage of solid waste reaches to cover a 100%, and the collecting car fuel consumption cost decreased by 53.33 Finally, it is recommended to implement the proposal of logistics system in the solid waste collection and train the personnel involved.
