BURGOS, Carlos; VILLACRES, Patricio; CABRERA, Mario e SALAZAR, Wilfrido. Safety footwear in Ecuador, factors that affect the quality of the product and the productivity of organizations. Novasinergia [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.1, pp.61-82. Epub 31-Jan-2022. ISSN 2631-2654. https://doi.org/10.37135/ns.01.09.05.
Abstract: A situational analysis of the companies that produce industrial safety footwear in Ecuador is shown; an analysis of the environment and their financial situation are considered. The study is complemented with the evaluation of the production processes considering the factors: raw material (PM), labor (MO), environment (MA), machines (MAq), work methods (MT) to show how these affect productivity; The quality levels of the product obtained are also determined through tests that aim to measure compliance with the parameters considered in the INEN - ISO 20346: 2014 standard of the Ecuadorian Standardization Service (INEN). The results show that 80% of the companies considered are family-owned, have been in the market for more than 25 years, 60% of them have their own capital, and another 40% have incurred debts to operate. In the tests applied to the product, it is evidenced that it has compliance levels higher than 88%, and an average of 10 parameters are evaluated. The factor that most affects productivity is labor (OM) because it is a crosscutting element of the processes.
