Estrategias de optimización del control de inventarios para mejorar la eficiencia operativa en la Empresa Corp. Racksa Ecuador S.A.S.

Abstract

The main goal of our thesis was to figure out whether optimizing inventory control in the company was feasible. To do this, we analyzed both internal and external factors and developed a strategic plan. We also conducted a financial analysis with a five-year projection to evaluate the company’s profitability under three different scenarios. What we found is that optimizing inventory control is crucial for boosting the company’s competitiveness and sustainability. By improving how resources are used, cutting down on waste, and increasing customer satisfaction, we concluded that implementing inventory management strategies isn’t just doable—it’s a major step toward improving operational efficiency. We used a mixed-method approach for our research, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. On the qualitative side, we conducted structured interviews and observed logistical processes firsthand. For the quantitative analysis, we focused on key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure efficiency before and after putting our proposed strategies into action. We also considered political, economic, and social factors that impact the company, as well as how employees handle inventory management. The strategies we developed include implementing the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and ABC methods, reorganizing the warehouse layout, automating processes with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, and training staff in best logistical practices. These steps are designed to make operations smoother, reduce inefficiencies, and boost overall productivity. To sum it up, our study highlights just how important optimizing inventory control is for operational efficiency and long-term success. By adopting the strategies we’ve proposed, the company can become more competitive, sustainable, and customer-focused.
