Abstract

Inventory management, with its control method tools, appears as a competitive strategy option in the consumer market. One of the tools this uses is called ABC Curve, an important instrument to aid in the inventory management process. The article in question had as its main objective to analyze the fundamental role of inventory management in food retail, specifically within a supermarket chain located in the city of Três Lagoas, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, and to verify what its practical limitations were. The method used for this research was the case study and was separated into two stages, first being prepared an interview script and applied to the manager responsible for the unit in order to understand the current scenario of inventory management in the supermarket under study and in Next was a data collection from all departments that incorporated the establishment with the aim of presenting an opportunity for improvement with the application of the ABC curve tool. The choice was the Beverages department, a department chosen within the grocery/non-food areas as it presents the highest revenue in the month of September 2023. Afterwards, all the benefits of applying the ABC curve are illustrated.
