Sistema de gestión de inventarios en la empresa Casa Yoly Multifabritex de la ciudad de Riobamba.

Abstract

The medium and small-scale enterprises currently face constant changes, influenced by both internal and external factors, which can hinder their progress. CASA YOLY multifabritex is among these enterprises, lacking methodologies aimed at enhancing processes and work areas. Moreover, there hasn't been a promotion of changes in the organizational culture or staff commitment to maintain and care for work areas, equipment, or materials. In this research project, after analyzing the current company situation using methodological tools, the need arose to propose three methodologies aimed at improving the efficiency of warehouse operations. The first methodology involved ABC Classification, enabling the company to identify its most crucial products from a wide range. This methodology allows for a higher concentration of efforts on the most vital products while providing a more relaxed management for less impactful items. The second methodology considered the implementation of an inventory management model to reduce costs and deliver more efficient operations. Leveraging the earlier ABC classification, the Quantity Economic to Produce (POQ) model was applied to Category A elements to determine the quantity to manufacture and minimize storage and preparation costs. Categories B and C were allocated the total requested products at the start of the production stage. By comparing total costs between the traditional and proposed models, a saving of $338.58 was achieved, showcasing the efficiency of the methodology when implemented. Lastly, there was a need to propose a 5“S” Warehouse Manual for the company, aimed at establishing and maintaining an organized, clean, and efficient environment.
