Simulação de cenários para escolha de uma política de estoque: um estudo de caso em uma empresa varejista de equipamentos para agrimensura

Abstract

Enterprise inventory management ensures the efficiencies of processes while making them competitive in the marketplace. In this context, the present study observed the resale sector of a surveying company and found that its inventory problem was focused on the replacement policy. Thus, with the objective of proposing an alternative policy to reduce the costs generated by inventories in the sector, a scenario simulation methodology was applied, where each scenario was constructed for the same time horizon, but for each model and lot order form, their nature was varied. The result obtained was a scenario that presented a 87% reduction in total cost, which, finally, the values of its variables were applied in the elaboration of the proposal of stock policy for the company studied.
