Gestão de estoques: estudo de caso em uma empresa varejista de materiais elétricos

Abstract

When approaching the topic of retail companies, stock is one of the most important assets, as they indicate the capacity that these companies have to carry out their activity. In this context, the study aims to analyze the current stock system of a company in the retail sector of selling electrical materials. Data were collected through interviews with employees involved in the company's inventory management process (conducted by web conference, due to the pandemic context) and document research, through spreadsheets used by the organization. Quantitative data were collected through spreadsheets and material input and output reports. Through these methodologies, it was possible to develop an internal analysis of the company's stock, seeking to identify the causes of some deficiencies presented. Based on the results achieved, it was possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the company under study and, in this way, actions were recommended such as the implementation of inventory management tools to remedy identified gaps or to improve existing methods, more in-depth questions for future work.
