GESTÃO DE ESTOQUES: um estudo de caso sobre endereçamento e localização de materiais em uma empresa alimentícia

Abstract

This paper deals with the characteristics of stock addressing as an essential tool that has the objective of determining the necessary means to facilitate the immediate identification of the address of the materials in the warehouse. Such an approach is necessary to show how the storage aspects and techniques, together with the new technologies, can generate benefits in stock management. The objective was to demonstrate the importance of a clear, systematic and organized inventory management that is easy to understand and improves the storage, handling and inventory processes. This attempt was achieved through the literature review, related to stock management, with a focus on the storage processes and the case study carried out in a food industry located in the south of Minas Gerais. The study evidenced the problem of material location because the storage area of the company is not limited to a single warehouse, but to several points spread throughout the factory. Therefore, it was suggested to create an stock address that could cover all storage areas, and the development of a material localization application to improve the efficiency of inventory control.
