Effective inventory management is an essential element for the success of any company,
regardless of the business area, as it is directly linked to the organization's financial results.
On the other hand, even with this relevance, many companies today have faced several
difficulties in carrying out effective management in this area, generating a need to implement
strategies that enable this effectiveness. Given this context, the objective of this research is to
analyze the strategies that can be adopted to achieve greater efficiency in the inventory
management process, through the discussion of concepts related to the theme and analysis of
the results of a case study carried out with the objective of identifying the bottlenecks of the
company studied with regard to the inventory management process and proposing, based on
the discussed concepts, improvement actions so that the company obtains a better
performance in inventory management. The research has a qualitative approach and an
applied nature, in which bibliographic research, direct observation and semi-structured
interviews were used to collect the necessary data for the development of the work. Based on
the analysis of the results, the inventory management process was described “as is”, making it
possible to identify the main difficulties faced by the company studied in relation to inventory
management, with the main one being the gap in the training of employees. Finally, strategies
were proposed that can be used to achieve the performance objectives of the studied company
in this area of the considered organization.
