An inventory control model, applied to a construction company

Abstract

Context: A company's inventory management includes the processes for producing, ordering, storing and selling. Effective inventory management keeps the company organized; it also provides critical data to help companies respond to trends, avoid supply chain management failures, and maintain profitability. Objective: To establish a type of transportation model based on the determination of the ideal EOQ for a construction company. Method: The work begins from the study carried out by other authors, in this analysis, an inventory study is developed applying methodologies according to the definition of the EOQ and the continuous review model with uncertain demand and standard deviation (q, R), and to later combine these results with another methodology applied to this study topic. Results: This work designs a total cost methodology, which seeks to show the optimal values ​​​​implemented to the purchase limits, thus establishing feasible results to be obtained by the company and that it can expand its decisions for the management of its inventories. Conclusions: This study shows the applicability of inventory optimization considering the ideal EOQ, seeking to find a solution with the lowest logistics cost. Initially, the volume discount technique is applied, to later combine it with transport modes applicable in various industries.
