Abstract

Amid the growth of the market, inventories have become indispensable in organizations by providing competitive advantages, such as increasing the level of services, reducing costs and improving production processes. Inventories are accumulations of raw materials, products in processes and finished, which arise in the production and logistics channels and represent a high invested capital. Therefore, it is essential that they are managed in the correct wayso that companies do not suffer consequences due to their lack or excess. With this, this work aims to apply inventory management in finished products of three companies located in the State of Ceará, based on management models and performance indicatorspredicted in the literature. Through analysis and inventory, it was possible to perform the initial diagnosis of the inventories of finished products of thethree companies, making it possible to know the reality of each one. The accuracy indexes were calculated to determine the actual situation of inventories, in addition to the realization of the ABC classification that served to determine the items that brought the highest financial return. Based on the products with classification A, other indicators were applied such as safety stock, average stock, time and resupply point and inventory turnover. Finally, some improvements were made through actions carriedout in order to reduce costs and provide support to managers when making planning and making decisions
