Utilização de ferramentas para gerenciar o estoque de uma empresa de autopeças

Abstract

Nowadays competition between organizations is increasingly fierce, and being able to establish strategies to reduce waste are of utmost importance to keep the company active in the market. Inventory management is a key factor because a company that has no control over how much material is needed in inventory can result in increased costs. The lack of products can also cause damage, because the company will not be able to fulfill the orders of its customers. So the big challenge is stipulating adequate quantities for the items in stock, without affecting the proper financial functioning and customer service. Thus, the present work used the ABC Curve to identify the most important products in the stock from a financial point of view, the Economic Buying Lot to determine the quantities to be purchased and the Sawtooth Chart to show the behavior of stock levels. Over time, such tools have helped with inventory management at a truck auto parts reseller company. To make the ABC Curve, 514 items were analyzed and of these 103 items are responsible for 61% of the company’s costs.
