Modelo de gestión de inventario utilizando la metodología ABC para optimizar el almacenamiento y LEAD TIME en una distribuidora de materiales eléctricos

Abstract

The diagnosis of inventory management in the electrical materials distributor showed deficiencies that have a direct impact on the quality of service and the management of items. It was found that the entity has not applied an adequate classification of materials; The storage area is not properly conditioned, which generates internal disorganization. The replacement of items is not planned based on demand; As a result, there are products stored for long periods and a shortage of key materials. Although the company has grown as a supplier to the construction sector since its foundation, its management is currently becoming inefficient since it has caused problems in terms of the delivery of materials, failing to comply with the provisions of contracts. Despite this evidence, the administration represented by the operational chief downplayed the importance of certain issues. This would show that there is a limited organizational culture regarding continuous improvement in inventory management.
