Abstract

It is known that efficient inventory management plays a fundamental role in cost optimization and the ability to meet the demands of an organization, thus becoming a competitive advantage against competitors. When viewed internally, inventory management acts as a contributing factor to an efficient process, ensuring the supply capacity for activities at the right time and quantity, thereby reducing costs and waste. In light of this, the main objective of this work is to develop a tool to assist in the analysis and efficient management of inventories in warehouses. This is based on secondary objectives related to inventory/warehouse management and the measurement of performance indicators in the organization. Characterized as applied research, a case study with an exploratory objective using a quantitative-qualitative approach was conducted. Additionally, a literature review was carried out to collect information relevant to the subject, consulting journals and specialized literature. As a result, the developed tool for the company is presented, along with the analysis of the current situation in its warehouse, validating the main objective of the work and providing the organization with more practicality and improved performance in inventory analysis through a practical, visual, and easily understandable method.
