Abstract

The present design of an Inventory Control System based on the ABC method, for Comercial David, in Riobamba city, Chimborazo province; had as objective the development of the categorization of inventories that the company possesses; as well as the management and control of all these. In the development, the quantitative modality was used, where a survey was applied to the Comercial David staff, and its real situation was determined; field research was also carried out, through continuous visits to the company, where information about the company's processes was obtained; and it was found that it does not have an inventory control system, which had made it difficult to manage and control them, in addition, they also lacked internal policies on their treatment; on the other hand, Comercial David did not have an estimate of minimum and maximum stocks; therefore, there was an oversupply or shortage of products, which had caused costs for storage and/or maintenance, products were worn out due to the period of time in which they were stored; Therefore, it was concluded that this work will contribute positively within the company; consequently, it will allow the correct management and control of inventories. It is recommended for Comercial David to apply the inventory control system based on the ABC method, since it will allow the correct categorization of inventories, taking into account the annual demand for each product and the total annual investment amount; In addition, the implementation of the economic order quantity model has been proposed, to determine the optimal quantity to order, the times that the order will be made and when it should be made; in order to obtain efficient levels in inventory management and control
