INTRODUCTION
Within an organization, the implementation of a manual not only establishes clear
guidelines for improving processes and services, but also serves as a fundamental tool to
delineate the responsibilities and roles of each team member. This meticulously crafted
document seeks to standardize practices and procedures, providing a coherent structure

to guide the effective performance of employees and to empower and improve
Ecuadorian companies.
In the Ecuadorian business context, the management of these roles and the manual itself
can become a subject of controversy. Factors such as resistance to change, lack of clarity
in internal communication and inconsistency in the application of policies can contribute
to this situation, generating additional challenges in the effective implementation of
established guidelines.
Domestic companies face operational efficiency issues such as production delays, high
costs and process inefficiencies. As these companies find themselves in a difficult
scenario, operational efficiency has become a primary concern. Production delays, high
costs and process inefficiencies are recurring problems that hinder their ability to
compete in an increasingly demanding and globalized market (Abril, C., et al., 2015).
These delays not only affect companies' ability to meet market demand in a timely
manner, but can also undermine their long-term profitability and sustainability.
Production delays and high costs are not only operational challenges, but also have a
direct impact on customer satisfaction and company reputation. Today's consumers
demand high-quality products and services, delivered quickly and efficiently. When a
company cannot meet these expectations because of problems in its operations, it risks
losing customers and damaging its brand image (Torres & Huidobro. 2024). In addition,
high costs can reduce profit margins and affect the company's competitiveness in the
marketplace, especially when it faces rivals that can offer lower prices due to greater
operational efficiency.
In a dynamic and highly competitive business environment, addressing operational
efficiency issues has become imperative for the survival and growth of domestic
companies. Organizations must identify the underlying causes of production delays, high
costs and process inefficiencies, and take effective measures to mitigate these challenges
(Urruchi., & Dextre, 2023). This could involve adopting advanced technologies,
overhauling work processes, improving supply chain management, and promoting an
organizational culture geared toward efficiency and innovation. Ultimately, addressing
these issues will not only benefit individual companies, but will also contribute to the
economic growth and competitiveness of the country as a whole.
The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis to identify common
factors in management methodologies, practices and models, as well as in the quality
tools used by leading companies. To achieve this purpose, several case studies previously
conducted by other authors in this field will be examined in detail. These studies will
provide a solid base of data and analysis that will allow the identification of trends,
patterns and critical factors that influence the operational efficiency of national
companies. Through this comparative analysis, we will seek to gain a deeper
understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by these companies in their
quest for process optimization and cost reduction.

The development of this objective is relevant for several reasons. First, understanding
operations efficiency is critical to the success and competitiveness of any company,
especially in a dynamic and globalized business environment. By examining past case
studies, successful practices and areas for improvement in the application of
improvement methodologies and services can be identified, providing domestic
companies with a practical and applicable framework for optimizing their processes and
reducing costs.
The how of this objective lies in the analytical and comparative approach of the case
studies. The use of rigorous research methodologies allows us to extract relevant data
and critically evaluate the results obtained in each case. This in-depth analysis makes it
possible to identify common patterns as well as significant differences between the
companies studied, providing a global vision of the factors that influence the operational
efficiency of national companies.
The ultimate goal of developing this objective is to contribute to the successful
development and implementation of the Practical Manual for the Implementation of
Improvement Methodologies and Services in national companies. By better
understanding the dynamics of operational efficiency through the case studies, specific
and practical recommendations can be generated to effectively optimize business
processes and reduce costs (Barrera. Jr, J., 2020). This evidence-based approach ensures
that the resulting manual is relevant, applicable and adaptable to the specific needs and
realities of national companies, thus boosting their growth and competitiveness in the
marketplace.
The fundamental purpose of the manual is to ensure that company personnel perform
their activities efficiently and effectively (Del Peru, B., 2020). By providing clear guidelines
and detailed procedures, the manual seeks to optimize the performance of personnel by
guiding them in carrying out their tasks in an organized and systematic manner. In
addition, by setting quality standards and providing guidance on best practices, the
manual helps to ensure that activities are carried out consistently and with satisfactory
results. Practical manuals from national companies
Within these manuals, according to Pizarro, V., & Álvarez, J. (2021), the planning phase
involves defining objectives, strategies and methods for organizing and coordinating
activities. During this phase, it is essential to clearly establish the organization's mission
and vision, as well as to set concrete goals and develop processes to achieve them. In
addition, it is necessary to design activities that can be carried out within a defined period
of time.
According to González, S., et al. (2020), mentions that the implementation of the
continuous improvement methodology has resulted in an increase in the return on
investment through the application of various techniques. This increase is reflected in
higher profits for the organization, which guarantees the satisfaction of investors or
owners and contributes to the stability and success of the company in the long term.
Service methodologies for a company.

The implementation of methodologies for design and the use of professional design
services translates into an important variety of innovations that support the growth and
continuity of companies in their respective territories (Barragán, L., & Sierra, M., 2021).
This, in turn, boosts the social and economic development of countries by reducing
trade gaps and balancing the trade balance. For years, foreign products have prevailed
over local products, but these methodologies seek to change that dynamic.
According to Armendáriz, K. (2023), the Scrum methodology organizes the activities to
be performed and the product requirements into a set of user stories. These stories
allow an efficient management of the requirements and also define the tasks necessary
to achieve the desired functionality. Each Sprint, in turn, represents a development stage
that culminates in the delivery of a functional product.
As an additional feature to this theoretical framework, it is essential to mention some
aspects of job performance, as cited by Paredes, P. (2021), he states that job
performance refers to the level of execution shown by an employee in carrying out the
responsibilities and tasks assigned in his job. This performance capacity not only
demonstrates the aptitude and ability of the individual, but also has a direct impact on
the team, contributing positively to the overall behavior of the organization.
According to Bustamante, R., et al (2022), it is crucial to consider that the work climate,
being a determinant component of performance in MSMEs in Ecuador, is influenced by
aspects such as communication, leadership, interpersonal relationships, motivation,
participation and performance evaluation, among other factors. These elements have a
direct impact on the configuration of the organizational climate within a company.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The research process begins with the clear definition of the objective of the study, which
is to conduct a systematic review as a type of research (Villasís, M. et al., 2020), which
analyzes the practical manual for the implementation of improvement methodologies
and services of national companies. The city of Guayaquil will be taken as a sample
reference, investigating the achievement of procedures in institutions that have adopted
this simplification model.
The various improvement and service methodologies employed by national companies,
and some authors used tools such as staff interviews, SWOT matrix analysis and the
Ishikawa diagram to collect data, which were of great use for the detailed analysis of the
various national companies (Moya, E., 2021).
In order to carry out the systematic review, a qualitative and quantitative documentary
research technique is used (Monsalve, E. et al, 2021). An exhaustive compilation of the
selected theses is made, extracting relevant information related to the implementation
of improvement methodologies and services in national companies, as well as the aspects
dealt with in the respective practical manuals. During this process, documentary record
cards are used as an instrument to organize and systematize the information collected
from each of the theses reviewed.
e-ISSN: 2576-0971. July - September Vol. 8 - 3 - 2024 . http://journalbusinesses.com/index.php/revista
17
Once all the relevant information has been compiled, we proceed to a critical and
comparative analysis of the findings obtained. The methodologies used, the results
obtained and the conclusions of each study are examined, identifying similarities,
differences and emerging trends. This analysis allows obtaining a comprehensive and
well-founded vision on the implementation of improvement methodologies and services
in private companies, as well as the practices suggested in the respective practical
manuals, thus providing a significant contribution to the body of knowledge in the field
of business management.
RESULTS
In the research of Cueva, J. (2021), interviews, SWOT matrix analysis and the Ishikawa
diagram were used to address the question about the proposal of a strategy to improve
the performance and management of the company based on the area of work. The
results indicated that it is suggested to strengthen the search for new clients and to
develop a referral plan strategy among clients. In addition, the creation of learning and
development programs, the reorganization and reconstruction of the warehouse, as well
as the prioritization of customer requirements are proposed.
The results obtained from the study by Rudas, L., (2017), demonstrate with concrete
data how the introduction of a Risk Management Model in a company dedicated to the
execution of projects has a favorable effect, visible in palpable advantages such as cost
reduction, quality assurance and timeliness in the execution of projects according to
schedule.
The merger of management systems emerges as an outstanding tactic for any entity that
aspires to improve its profitability and reliability of results. An important finding lies in
the prevention of repetition of tasks, documentation and audits common to all three
systems, resulting in significant cost reduction and time savings (Irurita, J. 2012).
According to Muñoz, F. (2018), in their study, 67% of respondents reported difficulties
in collaborating with other areas, thus supporting the previously mentioned. On the
other hand, 33% indicated not experiencing this type of problems. In a functional
organizational structure such as the one currently adopted by the company, each
department is assigned specific responsibilities; however, it is crucial that these functions
operate in a joint and coordinated manner to achieve effective results, as advocated by
process-based business management. Interviews with executives also revealed
coordination challenges, particularly highlighting the lack of synchronization between the
execution and purchasing areas.
The results obtained from the study conducted by Manchay, N. (2015), indicate the
presence of superfluous activities in the production procedures, which results in the loss
of time and, consequently, in economic losses for the company. They also point out the
lack of training among team members regarding new products and the correct planning
of their work. In response to this, it is proposed to improve the quality of processes by
systematically identifying and subsequently eliminating problems and implementing

continuous improvements in procedures. This strategy is aimed at improving employee
productivity and well-being, generating efficiency, effectiveness and productivity under
quality standards.
According to the study conducted by Perez, R. (2011) on the design of a behavioral
simulator for LEAN-based business management training, it points out that the
integration of such a simulator should be consistently adjusted to the user's professional
development plan, ensuring its relevance with respect to individual needs or the
company's strategic objectives. Furthermore, it is suggested that the same platform could
be adapted for use in various contexts simply by incorporating new projects and updating
the database, giving the Lean Simulator significant versatility and effectiveness.
One of the authors stresses the need to implement learning and development programs
for personnel, suggesting a focus on continuous growth and training as fundamental
pillars for organizational improvement. The proposal to reorganize and rebuild the
warehouse highlights the relevance of the physical infrastructure in the company's
operational and logistical performance. Finally, the prioritization of customer
requirements highlights the importance of focusing on customer needs and expectations
as a key element for business success.
The detailed analysis of the data presented by Rudas, L., (2017), reveals the significant
impact of implementing a Risk Management Model in an organization focused on project
development. These concrete data offer a clear view of the tangible benefits obtained,
which include a noticeable reduction in costs associated with projects, an increase in
quality assurance of deliverables and an improvement in the ability to meet established
deadlines.
These results not only support the effectiveness of the risk management model, but also
underscore its critical relevance in improving overall organizational performance. The
evidence provided reflects the importance of implementing proactive strategies to
identify, assess and mitigate risks associated with projects, which can translate directly
into greater success and operational efficiency in the development and execution of
business projects.
Irurita, J. (2012) highlights the importance of integrating management systems as a key
strategy to improve profitability and reliability of results in organizations. It highlights the
main benefit of avoiding duplication of activities, documentation and audits between
systems, which leads to significant cost reduction and time savings. This integration
allows for greater operational efficiency by optimizing processes and available resources,
which in turn contributes to improved competitiveness and overall organizational
performance. It also suggests that the integration of management systems can be
instrumental in achieving broader strategic objectives and fostering a more holistic
approach to business management.
The research by Muñoz, F. (2018), reveals an important problem of coordination
between areas within organizations. It is noted that 67% of respondents face difficulties
in working collaboratively with other departments, which underlines the relevance of

interdepartmental coordination to achieve operational efficiency. This situation arises in
the context of a functional structure where each area has specific roles, but must
function in an integrated manner to achieve optimal results, according to the principles
of process management. This analysis highlights the need to address communication and
coordination barriers within organizations to improve their performance and achieve
their strategic objectives.
The findings of the research conducted by Manchay, N. (2015), which evidence several
challenges in the company's production processes. It highlights the existence of
redundant activities that consume time and resources, resulting in economic losses. In
addition, emphasis is placed on the lack of staff training in relation to new products and
effective planning of their tasks. To address these shortcomings, a strategy focused on
continuous process improvement is proposed, with a focus on the systematic
identification and elimination of problems. It is emphasized that this improvement not
only seeks to increase the company's productivity, but also to improve employee well-
being. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of achieving efficiency, effectiveness and
productivity within the organization, all under quality standards. This analysis suggests
the need to implement concrete measures to optimize processes and strengthen the
company's competitiveness in the market.
Perez, R. (2011) research on the design of a behavioral simulator for LEAN-based
business management training. It highlights the importance of integrating the use of the
simulator into the user's professional development plan, thus ensuring its relevance to
individual needs or the organization's strategic objectives. In addition, it highlights the
versatility of the simulator, which can be adapted for use in different contexts simply by
incorporating new projects and updating the database. This analysis highlights the
usefulness of the simulator as a flexible and powerful tool for business management
training, capable of adapting to various situations and training needs.
Following this discussion, the question arises as to the real impact of the implementation
of these methodologies on the improvement of the services offered by national
companies, as well as their influence on competitiveness and sustainability in the long
term. In addition, questions are raised about the challenges and obstacles that may arise
during the implementation process, as well as the most effective strategies to overcome
them. In this sense, new studies could investigate the perception and experience of
companies that have adopted these methodologies, as well as the comparative analysis
of companies that have successfully implemented them versus those that have faced
difficulties. Also, emerging trends in improvement methodologies and services, and their
adaptability to different industries and business contexts, could be explored in greater
depth.

According to the results obtained from the analysis of the different authors, we can
conclude that both authors present research that highlights the importance of
implementing specific strategies to improve organizational performance and efficiency.
Others highlight the effectiveness of a Risk Management Model in the context of business
projects, showing significant reductions in costs, improvements in quality and compliance
with deadlines. On the other hand, the integration of management systems is also
emphasized as a key strategy to improve profitability and reliability of results, highlighting
operational efficiency and improved competitiveness as key results.
Other studies highlight the importance of implementing proactive approaches to address
the challenges identified. Risk management is proposed as an effective tool to identify
and mitigate potential problems in projects, which translates into greater success and
efficiency in their execution. On the other hand, the integration of management systems
is highlighted as a way to optimize processes and resources, which contributes to
improve the competitiveness and overall performance of the organization.
Both studies emphasize the importance of implementing specific strategies to address
the organizational challenges identified, whether in project management or process
optimization. These studies provide valuable insights to improve business performance
and highlight the need to tailor approaches according to the needs and characteristics of
each organization.
Finally, the exhaustive analysis of efficiency in the operations of national companies, with
a particular focus on aspects related to production and costs, represents a crucial
objective for evaluating and improving the competitiveness and sustainability of these
organizations in today's market. Through a detailed examination of production
processes, we seek to identify areas of opportunity to optimize resource utilization,
reduce waste and improve product quality. The effectiveness of this analysis depends
largely on the availability and quality of the data collected, as well as the ability of
companies to interpret and act on the findings. In many cases, national companies face
challenges in collecting accurate data and implementing effective corrective actions due
to resource and technical capacity constraints.
