Abstract

Currently, Inventory Management is one of the most evolving areas within organizations. Due to the great competitiveness of the market and development of new inventory control techniques, companies have come to realize the real importance of obtaining better management in their stocks. With this, the inventory management tools aim to obtain efficient storage, assist in the purchase of raw materials and generate a better organization in their stocks. Due to the lack of a specialized study in this area, this family company has difficulties in controlling and organizing its stock. This work had as main objective, to create a model of management to increase the efficiency of the company in this area. The main tools used in this study were the ABC classification, IDS and 5S methodology, each one with a specific objective. The ABC rating showed which products should be prioritized to keep in stock in greater quantity. IDS assisted in improvements in its Production Planning and control. The 5S methodology sought to improve the organization of the company's inventory and obtain a better working environment for its employees.
