Diseño de un sistema de control de inventarios aplicando el método promedio ponderado en las carrocerías IDIRECAM en la ciudad de Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Car Body IDIRECAM needs an inventory control system for the warehouse area, causing many materials to deteriorate. In the accounting field, inventory records are made empirically; for this reason, the excessive purchase of materials causes many of them to suffer damage. Therefore, this research aimed to design an inventory control system using the weighted average method in IDIRECAM body shops in the city of Ambato, province of Tungurahua, to register and control new and existing materials in the production of ambulances. The methodology implemented was the qualitative and quantitative approach; a non-experimental design was used since it cannot be supported by science; the study population was the personnel working within the company, fundamental the application of a documentary and field research to obtain the respective information through methods, techniques, and instruments, which was the application of the survey to all personnel. Through the methodology, it was determined that the company needs an inventory control system, so workers are unaware of the reality of existing inventories. It was also found that there is no warehouse manager to distribute the materials appropriately, and workers obtain materials but do not use them correctly. It is concluded that the car body shop does not have an inventory control system that prevents better results in the warehouse, so the design of an inventory control system is proposed according to the needs of the car body shop, which will contribute to its development.
