Proposta de aplicação do sistema de revisão contínua de estoques no setor comercial de um centro de distribuição

Abstract

The research problem was that the purchasing department of a Distribution Center acquired products unnecessarily, resulting in stock accumulation in its facilities and higher costs for ordering, maintenance, and purchasing. The aim was to propose an improvement in inventory management and increase operational efficiency. The MASP (Method of Analysis and Problem Solving) methodology and the 5W2H tool were used as the action plan for implementing the reorder point system. Critical problems in the purchasing department were identified and analyzed, focusing on the ABC classification of products to determine the most important items as a percentage of the company's total revenue. The research results showed that implementing the continuous review system allows for better inventory management, thereby reducing operational costs and optimizing the use of the Distribution Center's space. The conclusion of this research highlights the importance of efficient inventory management for the company's logistical and commercial success, indicating that the implemented improvement can result in competitive market advantages. Additionally, the research contributed to the academic community by offering a practical model for applying the ABC classification and the continuous review system, which can be applied in other organizations with different scenarios but similar characteristics.
