Gestão de estoque em uma cachaçaria de pequeno porte

Abstract

This course completion work aimed to study the challenges of stock management present in a small company that has a “mix” of cachaça production. Many small companies have difficulties in managing the production of their products, often due to a lack of adequate knowledge, financial investments or even traditionalist managers who tend to be more inflexible to change. Small companies generally present problems with supplies, finished products in stock, forecasting and services that support production processes within their production processes, such as: lack of finished products; Lack of raw material; lack of knowledge of demand; expenditure on transport and other services. The present work is of an applied nature, quantitative approach and the objective is explanatory to understand the best way to manage inventory. In this way, based on the study carried out, it was possible to use forecasting and inventory management calculation methods to improve decisionmaking in cachaçaria management. The best result was the scenario with inventory cost for lot sizes ordered and delivered together for a selected subset and for the forecast model the method that presented the lowest error was the Holt model. With this, it was possible to apply methods used during the undergraduate period and understand in practice how the models are applied and improve cachaçaria management.
