Abstract

Economic efficiency is a critical challenge in solid waste management, a sector where companies like Inter Trans Jireh face notable deficiencies. This research details the issue of low economic efficiency, exacerbated by poor management and planning practices at Inter Trans Jireh. An innovative solution is proposed through the implementation of sophisticated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools, such as advanced inventory management systems and logistics route optimization. The analysis focuses on how integrating these tools can radically transform the company's operational and economic efficiency. The study is supported by a robust theoretical framework that emphasizes the critical importance of effective solid waste management and its direct impact on economic performance and environmental sustainability. Using techniques such as flowcharts and SIPOC diagrams, a comprehensive diagnosis of the operational environment at Inter Trans Jireh is conducted, tailoring the ERP solution to its specific needs. A pilot phase is implemented to verify the effectiveness of this integrated strategy, using specific indicators to assess improvements in economic efficiency, including cost reduction and operational time optimization. The results demonstrate significant improvements in the economic efficiency of Inter Trans Jireh, providing a model for more sustainable and profitable management in the solid waste industry.
