Inventory is characterized as being all material maintained by the company in order to enter the production cycle and/or to be commercialized, being necessary to accommodate the difference between supply and demand existing in the market, besides being used for several other duties. In the contemporary business environment, few companies deal in a formal way and use techniques for proper inventory management, thus ignoring innumerable advantages that could be gained by entrepreneurs and managers. The strategic management of inventories shows great importance in the administrative process and is of crucial importance for the development and progress of the company. Through analyzes that can be done, it begins to improve management decisions, using the technique we know as the ABC curve, which results in practice demonstrating which items are currently, using most of the organization's financial investment, In this way management is able to understand which part of the stock to direct its attention to, and in a way, greater care.
