Abstract

To optimize inventory management in companies that have a large variety of references, it is necessary to involve maintenance programs in the general strategy of the organization. This includes considering the peculiarities of all types of articles, especially maintenance, repair, and operations materials (MRO). These materials will be the focus of analysis in this study because they occupy a large part of the inventory warehouses in companies and, therefore, represent a large percentage of business costs. This study addresses the case of a organization that contains a large number of items of this nature and elevates associated costs. The main objective is to find the most suitable model to manage them, by defining an algorithm that weighs all the parameters considered important for decision-making, which allow concluding that improving some factors, such as the Lead Time, is more relevant to the savings of the company than the definition of a complex inventory model.
