Propuesta para el mejoramiento del proceso de compras como estrategia para fortalecer la gestión administrativa en una entidad del sector educativo
Melissa Andrea De la hoz Lemus; Patricia Achury
This paper develops a proposal to improve the purchasing process as a strategy to strengthen administrative management in the Entity of the education sector; a based on the diagnosis of various situations that affect its efficiency, including the
centralization in decision-making, delays in the management of requests, absence of structured planning and limited traceability of information. The research was based on a mixed approach of descriptive scope, integrating qualitative and quantitative elements for the analysis of the purchasing process. For the collection of information, techniques such as case studies and documentary analysis were used, allowing the identification of weaknesses and opportunities for improvement within the organization. Based on the findings identified, an improvement plan was designed aimed at optimizing the organization of the process through the definition of responsibilities, definition of purchasing policies, decentralization of approvals, annual planning of requirements and progressive integration of the SAP Business One ERP system as a technological support tool.
In addition, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms were proposed through management indicators that will make it possible to verify compliance with the proposed objectives and strengthen decision-making. Finally, it is concluded that the gradual implementation of this proposal constitutes a viable alternative to improve operational efficiency, strengthen internal control and contribute to the development of a more organized, transparent administrative management aligned with institutional objectives.
Propuesta de reestructuración operativa del Departamento de Educación Continua — Universitaria Agustiniana (2026)
Manuel Mendez- 2026; Carlos Julio Castañeda Blanco
This work aims to design a strategic improvement plan for the operational area of Continuing Education at Universitaria Agustiniana for the year 2026, oriented toward optimizing administrative and academic processes and strengthening institutional traceability in accordance with its new organizational structure.
The proposal focuses on strengthening institutional efficiency and academic competitiveness through the partial digitalizzation of processes, improving internal communication, and developing data-driven management strategies.
The assessment was conducted using the SWOT matrix, structured interviews, and direct observation, revealing weaknesses in role definition, duplication of functions, and a lack of performance indicators.
As a result, the plan proposes strategic actions aimed at standardizing processes, creating KPIs, and implementing an institutional monitoring system, with the goal of improving operational efficiency by 20% and positioning the department as a benchmark for educational innovation.

The research studies the broken corner as a design resource capable of guiding pedestrian routes, taking as a reference the General Archive of the Nation, applied in a kindergarten in Bogotá.
Operaciones a la condición de campo como estrategia para adaptar el programa arquitectónico
Velasco Espinosa Julian David; Jaramillo Acosta Laura Marcela; Pizo Escalante Karen Sofia
This research aims to reinterpret how field condition operations can constitute a strategy for adapting the architectural program. The study is framed within the field of architectural design and design strategies, addressing field condition operations as a tool capable of responding to different contexts through program adaptation. The research was developed through a mixed methodology, organized into three phases. In the first phase, the operations linked to field condition were classified based on the analysis of architectural design references, specifically case studies of mat-buildings designed under a modular logic. The second phase focused on evaluating the incidence of these operations on the adaptation of the architectural program, through the analysis of programmatic modules categorized into: general, special, and service spaces, evaluated by means of an adaptability matrix that also considered circulation as support and its growth potential in different directions. The case studies analyzed, the Centraal Beheer office building by Herman Hertzberger (1967–1968), the Venice Hospital by Le Corbusier (1964), and the Holiday Temple by Piet Blom (1965), allowed for the identification of constant variations in programmatic adaptability percentages. The third phase enabled the reformulation of design strategies oriented toward the application of field condition operations, recognizing circulation as the fundamental element for the configuration of the module and the adaptability of the architectural program.
La relación entre forma y programa como un catalizador social en un equipamiento deportivo y cultural en el barrio La Hortua
Edwin Andres Juez Martinez
This research explores the relationship between architectural form and program of activities in the design of cultural and sports facilities, based on the understanding that human activity acts as a driving force for the appropriation and transformation of built space.
Within the framework of the Comprehensive Proximity Project PIP-CNH-05 “Great Axis of Vitality, Neighborhood, and Care La Hortúa,” this work proposes the repurposing of the Eduardo Santos Coliseum in the Santa Isabel neighborhood of Bogotá as a multipurpose hub capable of adapting to varying uses over time.
Through an analysis of relevant examples the Seattle Central Library, the Virgilio Barco Library, the Chapinero Community Center, and the SESC Guarulhos Sports Center and a field study of the surrounding area, flexibility strategies were established that allow for the articulation of open spaces where form acts as material support and where adaptability emerges as a dynamic equilibrium between structural adequacy and programmatic diversification.
The project's outcome articulates a zigzag implementation, a configuration of grouping volumetric pieces, and a contingent of conceptual filters (experience, character, adaptability) that make the facility a living infrastructure, capable of responding to intergenerational rhythms and the care dynamics of the sector.
