Gestão de estoque: monitoramento do fluxo de cimento a granel e ensacados em uma indústria da mesorregião nordeste paraense

Abstract

Inventory management has as its main function a regulating element between demand and supply, an effective inventory management method facilitated by knowledge of the flow of materials and how variables are interfering. The present research sought to analyze the several factors that influenced the dynamics of the stockpiles of a cement industry of the northeastern mesoregion in the period of one year. The research is characterized as being explanatory, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. In this way we use questionnaires and interviews with resources for the area of inventory management of the company, as well as an analysis of clusters. The results show that as variables: seasonality, increase of the consumer of products, increase in the diversity of product supply, problems in the production machinery of bagged cement as opposed to the increase in performance of other lengths that caused these oscillations in the levels of inventories. These variables, especially the increase in the consumer market, reflected significantly in the turnover of cement stocks in bulk and in bags, as a result, in the last months of the year, inventories reached low levels while their demand had an expressive increase so that the organization to accompany this accumulated demand, it is suggested improvements without inventory management in relation to preventive maintenance on machinery of stacks and forklifts so that the organizers of production of the bagged cement are able to produce so that it can maintain comfortable gradis of stock and meet demand in a secure manner.
