Proposta de Otimização de Layout e Endereçamento de Estoque em uma Loja de Tintas: Um Estudo de Caso

Abstract

Efficient inventory management reduces costs and increases competitiveness, especially in sectors with high product diversity and strict safety standards. The general objective of this study is to propose an inventory addressing system for a paint company in the Vale do Ivinhema region, with a focus on identifying and analyzing opportunities for improvement in the shipping sector. The methodology was based on a case study with a qualitative approach, including interviews with owners and employees, on-site observation and analysis of existing storage methods. The topic was limited to the shipping sector, and the study conceptualizes inventory management using tools such as 5S, inventory addressing, ABC categorization and warehouse management systems (WMS). The improvement proposals include a new layout, a coded addressing system and the application of 5S principles, seeking an organized and safe environment. Discussions indicate that these changes should provide improved inventory control, reduce waste and ensure efficient operations, with direct benefits to productivity and customer service.
