Aplicação da curva ABC para redução dos custos de armazenagem e aprimoramento da gestão de estoque de uma empresa de manutenção do norte do Paraná

Abstract

The high commercial competition present in all sectors is increasingly visible due to the development of information technology and increasingly integrated supply chains. In the case of the refrigeration maintenance sector, it is no different, this sector involves several processes, including the management of stock of spare parts. This trend generates a need for tools that help manage inventory-related costs. Among the applicable methods to overcome this lack is the ABC Curve, which stands out for presenting the importance of the items used in a manner relative to their financial impact. Given the context presented, this article is quantitative in nature and aims to stratify and demonstrate a cause-effect relationship. As for the objectives of the research, it is explanatory in nature, as it seeks to analyze, classify and interpret the phenomena studied, presenting the result obtained from the application of the ABC Curve in a refrigeration maintenance company. Using the consumption and cost data of the equipment used in the company's operations, the ABC Curve was generated, in addition to other information related to inventory management such as safety stock and order point. With the results of the study, it is possible for the company to develop actions to more efficiently manage each class of items according to the characteristics and impacts presented.
