Characterization, Analysis and Strategies for the Optimization of the Supply Chain of the Pisco Production Sector

The chain stands as a central element for business management, and in the pisco sector, this system involves grape cultivation, pisco production, distribution, and final consumer sales. In this arrangement, the direct interactions between grape producers and the manufacturers, distributors, and end consumers are an observable matter. This academic effort aimed at the identification of the variables that influence the supply chain efficiency and its performance. Furthermore, it sought to define actions for the improvement of the situation. This work used qualitative and non-experimental case study methodology, which was supported by engineering tools. The resulting findings show that the quality of the grape, the capacity for production, the logistics flow, and the demand of the market are the main drivers of outcomes. Another point concerns cost analysis, where there was a revelation of a 33 percent overrun. This means that production costs reached the level of 20 soles for each liter compared to the earlier target, which was 15 soles. The utilization of Value Stream Mapping, PESTEL, and MACTOR tools enabled the development of a structured framework. This framework was validated by industry experts on this matter, and it enables the ability to reduce costs, improve the quality consistency, and strengthen export performance. The successful implementation of these actions will make a contribution to greater competitiveness in the pisco sector and will support national economic growth.
