Nowadays, integration is vital for increasing the competitiveness of value chains, and together with the performance of their actors, they become basic elements for circularity through their processes and flows.

En los países latinoamericanos las pequeñas y medianas empresas se enfrentan a enormes desafíos, como el de insertarse en las cadenas de suministros. Aun así, en estas existen otras limitantes, el registro informal de la información de la gestión y la falta de datos históricos en estas empresas inciden en la toma de decisiones empíricas en relación a la planificación y control de la gestión. En estas condiciones, el objetivo de la investigación es elaborar un indicador integral para la evaluación del desempeño de las medianas y pequeñas empresas que conforman la cadena de suministro textil en el Ecuador, que propicie la toma de decisiones para la sostenibilidad de estas. Se diseñó un procedimiento, y se utilizan las herramientas de: recogida de información de la literatura, el método de expertos, el triángulo de Fuller, y la simulación para la identificación de los rangos de las métricas (aporte metodológico). Como resultado, se definió el indicador integral de la cadena de suministro de camisetas en el norte de Ecuador. El mismo es evaluado de Regular, determinado principalmente por el indicador de costo de proceso. Se concluye que en este último se concentran las mayores oportunidades de mejora, aporte práctico de esta investigación. Además, se demostró la aplicabilidad del procedimiento diseñado en la cadena objeto de estudio.

At present, the integration in the supply chain facilitates the achievement of the competitiveness of its actors. It is an important factor when trying to reach common goals and high degree of interaction within each link of the chain. In this study, a diagnosis of the shirt supply chain in the northern area of Ecuador was developed and a set of strategies and joint objectives were proposed to improve the competitiveness of the actors involved. For this purpose, a verification instrument was designed, consisting of the dimensions of Strategy, Information, Planning, Purchases, Collaborative Inventory, Transport and Collaborative Performance, to evaluate the integration of 96 actors. The construct validity of the instrument was carried out and the information was processed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results of this research 1 Instituto de Posgrado.

Purpose: This investigation is based on the theoretical analysis of the application of neural networks to the design and manage supply chains, along with an empirical approach, this investigation its developed with the prediction of the level of integration in the supply chain through neural networks.Design/methodology/approach: The methodology designed and used for the processing of data was the instruction of a neural network wich is used to predict the level of integration in a supply chain. This type of predictive application appears in the literature reviewed on supply chains. This analysis was carried out in a comparative way with the heterogeneous and homogeneous weights of the neuron training.Findings: The main results of this research focus on predicting the level of integration in the supply chain from the neoronal network. This provides a coached neuron that can be applied in other studies and, therefore, predict the outcome. On the other hand, it is shown that if the weights of the integration level variables are not homogeneous, the procedure presents different results depending on the context in which it is developed.Research limitations/implications: Among the limitations of the implementation of neural networks it should be noted, the necessary adaptation to the characteristics of the supply chains and the areas of performance of the business organizations under study, in the framework of activities productive or service itself, in addition to analyzing its corporate purpose in relation to the satisfaction of certain needs of the target markets.Originality/value: The literature shows multiple theoretical sources that refer to studies of neural networks in supply chains, observing the opportunity to apply this technique to predict the level of integration due to its benefits for decision making. The originality of this scientific work lies in the possibility of comparing the historical data of the level of integration and those predicted as a result of the coaching of the neuron with the weights of the heterogeneous and homogeneous variables.
