Proposal for minimizing inventory costs applied in a cosmetics retail company in the municipality of Redencao-PA

Inventory and materials management are crucial to a company's ability to control and regulate the quantity of its products. With the help of quality management and the available tools, it is possible to propose solutions for frequently encountered problems that interfere with the smooth running of work processes. Therefore, this work aims to carry out a case study in a small cosmetic company (EPP) in Redencao -PA, in order to propose a model to minimize inventory costs. The methodology used consists of a structured interview with qualitative and quantitative analyses, of an exploratory nature. The assessment will be based on data collected in 2022 regarding the entry of products into stock and the physical layout of the space. The diagnosis obtained through the Ishikawa diagram identified problems such as layout disorganization and incorrect use of management software. Based on this, an action plan was developed to organize and improve processes and the layout of the warehouse, guaranteeing quality and efficiency in meeting customer orders and streamlining processes and general activities.
