Propuesta de un sistema de administración de inventarios para GPK|Graf&Pack industria gráfica

Abstract

In Graf&Pack graphic industry, the lack of control of raw material inventories has repercussions on the inefficiency of the purchasing processes and customer dissatisfaction. For this reason, the purpose of this degree work is to establish a proposal for an inventory management system. The research is descriptive and involves both qualitative and quantitative data in its development. From the proposed system, the 35 items of greatest relevance to the company were selected, which used the Winters model and exponential smoothing as forecasting methods. With the collection of the above information, the EOQ model and the reorder point were applied to establish the inventory policy for each item identified. The implementation of this system represents a significant economic advantage for the company, since, when comparing the total cost of the proposal with that of the traditional way of keeping inventories, the first option is more convenient. With the implementation of the inventory management system proposed in this study, 27.72% of the current total cost can be saved. Finally, the redesign of the storage area, together with the coding strategy, reduces the search time for materials and generates efficiency in the production process
