Propuesta de mejora en la gestión de inventarios mediante la metodología ABC en una empresa dedicada a la distribución de textos

Abstract

This technical project developed a proposal to improve inventory management using the ABC methodology in a company dedicated to the distribution of texts. Based on an assessment of the company's current situation, the distribution of the texts stored in the warehouse was analyzed. It was observed that the texts were not classified according to their importance and turnover rate, which meant that low-turnover texts received greater operational attention, while highturnover texts did not have adequate control and location. In response to this situation, the ABC methodology was implemented, along with continuous improvement tools, which allowed for a clearer and more structured organization. A visual layout was also proposed for the warehouse, which facilitated identification and location by category (ABC). This resulted in increased operational efficiency as well as standardization, distribution, location, and classification of the texts. Therefore, it was concluded that the application of this methodology is effective in improving inventory management.
