Diseño de un sistema de control de inventarios ABC para Super Baratillo el Mundo, de la ciudad de Santo Domingo, provincia de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas

Abstract

The design of an inventory control system based on the ABC method, for a company called "Super Baratillo el Mundo" located in Santo Domingo city, province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, was aimed to apply the ABC method to optimize the company resources. For this study, the qualitative-quantitative modality and research techniques were used, such as the survey carried out on the company's collaborators to understand how the different processes of inventory management and control are carried out; the interview with the general manager carried out to gather sufficient relevant and pertinent information on the problems that the company currently suffers, being able to determine that the company lacks of an efficient control and management of inventories and a systematic and orderly storage system. On the other hand, it lacks an adequate internal control of produce, which leads to an excess or lack of stocks. Finally, it was possible to identify that the company does not have a manual of policies and procedures to control this problem. Because of this, it was determined that the ABC method allows inventory control according to the level of importance with which the products are categorized and by applying the economic order quantity model, it is possible to set the quantity of products in order to avoid an oversupply of products and thus prevent damage or theft that affects the financial profitability of the company.
