Abstract

This research shows the status of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the avocado exporting companies industry located in the State of Michoacan, Mexico. We examine how it affects the competitiveness of the sector and how these companies can become more competitive in the U.S. market. A questionnaire of 137 questions was applied to analyze factors such as management relationship with customers and suppliers, and return management aspects such as demand management, compliance orders, manufacturing flow management, inventory management, merchandising, and transportation management. The results show the situation that avocado exporting companies located in the state of Michoacan held. We place them on a Likert scale in a range of Regular Competitiveness Management Supply Chain with 446.0 units. This indicates that the analyzed companies, as a whole, reached only 69 percent of expected levels of competitiveness.
