Gestão de estoques em um supermercado

Abstract

Retail trade is one of the fields that most impact the Brazilian economy and competition is increasing more and more due to the advance of globalization and the large supermarket chains. Although entrepreneurs in this sector have great incentives to establish themselves, they still have difficulties in managing their products, and one of the main causes of losses in this branch is errors in inventories. Effective inventory management is essential in retail businesses, especially in supermarkets, where inventory turnover is high. In view of this, the present work analyzed the current management of inventory and replacement of gondolas in a supermarket. After collecting data and information, a graph was created with the most sold products and an ABC sales curve to cross the data with the information passed on in questionnaires by employees. Finally, knowing the process as a whole, it became possible to suggest changes throughout the process of inventory management and replenishment of goods on the shelves in order to obtain an optimized service provision. In this way, one can understand the importance of good inventory management in the retail sector, since it makes it possible to optimize resources and reduce costs.
