Resumen
The livestock sector is fitted with modern technology that has been
developed and implemented in several countries. However, according
to FEDEGAN, in Colombia, more than 65% of farms have a low
technological level and the modernization of the sector is subject to
considerable improvements applying georeferencing technologies. Therefore, this
research project develops a methodology for the application of georeferencing
technologies in the livestock sector of Colombia. The proposed methodology is
based on concepts of Agile methodologies and develops 4 sequential stages that
guide the Colombian farmer in the integration of these technologies to its
farm. The initial stage identifies and characterizes the farmer’s requirements,
applying an adaptation of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD). According to
the results, it is proposed the use of the Analytical Hierarchical Process
(AHP) to select the device that matches the farmer’s criteria. The second stage
includes purchasing the proper device based on the previous stage's insights.
The third stage guides the farmer in the testing of the device selected, and finally,
in the fourth stage, a proposal of how to analyze the data obtained by the
georeferencing device is presented. The results of the methodology were
validated by an expert panel through a focus group, and by a case study. de grado.
