The research was carried out through a methodology of a quantitative nature with the scope according to the level of knowledge obtained with said research: descriptive-correlational. The work made it possible to cover the gaps contained in the subsystems of SMEs from the scope of their strategic, key and support processes, which allow recognizing the beginning of the problem or the opportunity for improvement.
