Gestão de almoxarifado apoiado por Business Intelligence: um estudo de caso em um supermercado

Abstract

This research was conducted in a retail food company in Russas/CE, focusing on the detailed mapping of processes within the warehouse sector. The analysis of these processes revealed a significant opportunity for improvement through the introduction of Business Intelligence tools, with a special emphasis on Power BI. This implementation aimed to optimize the management of input stock levels and enhance internal warehouse procedures. The use of Power BI provided advanced functionalities, including a comprehensive view of expenses, both in terms of quantity and monetary values (in Brazilian Reais), as well as facilitating efficient distribution among various company departments. The identification of key resources contributing to the monthly sectorial costs was also a relevant achievement. The results indicated substantial improvements in internal processes, notably in the audit of input distribution, along with a reduction of up to 1 hour per day in corresponding activities. This led to a more efficient use of time for the departments, contributing to the company's enhanced competitiveness in the market.
