A tomada de decisão para redução de custos de estoque em uma empresa fabricante de salgados

Abstract

Stock planning within a company tends to be a crucial factor for the success of the enterprise, which demands both strategy in action and a basis for decision-making that tends to be carried out. The present research seeks to assist in the analysis of the cost of storing frozen snacks, through the development of a decision-making tool, within a predetermined mix. The case study was developed in a company that manufactures frozen snacks located in the city of Santa Rosa (RS) and aims to propose a safety stock structured through the ABC method, for a mix composed of twelve types of snacks. Through the collection of data with the company's managers, two safety stock scenarios were structured, resulting in values referring to storage costs and occupancy capacity of a cold room, in addition to a comparative table between real demand and simulated safety stock, which made it possible to infer analyzes and formulate proposals for improvements to the company's storage sector.
