Resumen

La gestión manual de activos fijos e insumos continúa siendo una limitación operativa en muchos laboratorios de control de calidad, especialmente cuando los registros se encuentran dispersos, se actualizan de forma no estandarizada o dependen de documentos físicos y hojas de cálculo. Esta situación puede afectar la trazabilidad de los recursos, la confiabilidad del inventario, la generación oportuna de reportes y la toma de decisiones administrativas. El objetivo de este estudio fue diseñar e implementar un sistema web para fortalecer la organización, control y seguimiento de activos fijos e insumos en un laboratorio de control de calidad. Se desarrolló una investigación aplicada de alcance descriptivo, sustentada en revisión documental, entrevista, cuestionario y análisis de requerimientos funcionales. El proceso incluyó la identificación de flujos operativos, necesidades de información, vulnerabilidades del control manual, diseño de arquitectura del sistema, modelado de base de datos e implementación de módulos orientados al registro, actualización de stock, control de movimientos, consulta de activos e insumos y generación de reportes. Los resultados permitieron estructurar una solución informática orientada a centralizar la información, reducir la dependencia de registros manuales, mejorar la disponibilidad de datos y apoyar la planificación administrativa del laboratorio. El sistema propuesto constituye una herramienta adaptable para contextos institucionales que requieren fortalecer la trazabilidad de recursos, la eficiencia operativa y la gestión basada en información. Se concluye que la digitalización del control de activos e insumos puede contribuir a mejorar la calidad de la gestión administrativa en laboratorios de control de calidad, siempre que su implementación se acompañe de capacitación, mantenimiento técnico y adecuación continua a los flujos reales de trabajo.
