Abstract
Transportes Barcino S.A., es una empresa privada nacional que dio inicio a sus
operaciones en el año 1989 en la ciudad de Arequipa dentro del rubro de transporte, con el
objetivo de atender los requerimientos o necesidades de carga terrestre. Transportes Barcino
asume un rol importante para la operativa de la corporación Aceros Arequipa, siendo su
principal socio para el transporte de sus productos a nivel nacional e internacional, y el
reaprovisionamiento entre sus almacenes. El objetivo de la consultoría de negocios fue
identificar el principal problema que no le permite a Transportes Barcino alcanzar sus
objetivos en los últimos años, analizando las principales causas y proponiendo un plan de
acción a la organización para mitigarlo. Se encontró que el problema principal gira en los
altos costos del servicio, los cuales han venido representando aproximadamente un 92% de
los ingresos totales por el servicio de transporte y carga; siendo la gestión del consumo de
combustible parte del problema.
La meta actual de Transportes Barcino es reducir los costos generados por el servicio
de transporte, incrementar la facturación a través de nuevas rutas, existiendo el interés de
cubrir rutas en el norte del país.
Luego de una serie de reuniones de trabajo con la administración de Transportes
Barcino, se identificó entre las causas raíz de su problema la ausencia de controles y
monitoreo del uso de combustible. Con base en el análisis externo e interno y la literatura
investigada se propone una serie de planes de acción para que Transportes Barcino pueda
alcanzar los objetivos propuestos. Entre los principales se encuentran: el establecimiento de
un convenio con un proveedor, definición de puntos estratégicos de abastecimiento,
elaboración de un programa de capacitación, implementación de una política de evaluación, y
el establecimiento de indicadores y reportes para su correcto monitoreo para medir el éxito de
las acciones.

After a series of work meetings with Transportes Barcino’s administration, the absence of controls and monitoring of fuel use was identified as one of the root causes of the problem.
