Optimización del manejo de stock de materias primas en la empresa TOALCO SAS : un enfoque basado en métodos cuantitativos.

Abstract

The objective of the research was to determine the financial feasibility of optimizing raw material stock management in the company TOALCO SAS, through an approach based on quantitative methods. The problem identified was the lack of structured control in stock management, which generated errors, disorder and unnecessary costs. A qualitative methodology was used through an interview with three key company employees, in order to identify the most relevant shortcomings in the process. This was complemented with an analysis of the environment, as well as an internal diagnosis of the company, in order to design a strategy to optimize inventory, especially during the winter season. It was concluded that the best option is the first one, since here the quantitative methods such as ABC and Economic Order Quantity would help to have a better organization of the inventory.
