The agro-export sector in Peru is crucial, especially fruit maquiladora SMEs, which face efficiency and competitiveness issues due to unproductive times in packaging and cooling processes. These challenges increase costs and reduce profitability, demanding urgent interventions. The study proposed a Lean Logistics model integrating tools like VSM, CONWIP, and 5S to optimize operations, enhance space utilization, and reduce waste. Key findings included a reduction in service lead time by 55.57%, cooling process wait time by 95.24%, and overall improvement in storage capacity by 41.04%, demonstrating the model's effectiveness. The research’s impact extends academically by providing a scalable model for similar sectors, while socioeconomically, it enhances SME competitiveness and job opportunities. The results underline the importance of continuous improvement and call for further research to expand and refine lean applications in agro-export and other critical industries.
