Diseño de un sistema de control de inventario para proyectos de DESINELEC S.A.

Abstract

The present study aims to design an inventory management and control system to optimize the administration of electrical materials at DESINELEC S.A. The research adopts a descriptive and applied approach, combining a review of specialized literature on inventory management models, direct observation of warehouse processes, interviews with operational staff, and the analysis of inventory records. The applied methodology made it possible to objectively identify several limitations in inventory operational management, particularly the strong reliance on manual procedures for information recording, the absence of standardized mechanisms for quantity verification, and the inadequate handling of high-value materials. Likewise, deficiencies were identified in replenishment planning processes, as well as insufficient control over stock levels, which increases the risk of errors, shortages, and operational cost overruns. Based on these findings, the implementation of a digital inventory control system through the Zoho Inventory platform is proposed, aimed at improving process efficiency and reliability. This system allows information to be centralized within a single environment, automates the recording of material entries and exits, establishes preventive alerts for minimum inventory levels, and generates structured reports that facilitate data analysis and managerial decision-making, thereby strengthening internal control and optimizing organizational resources. The adoption of this tool enhances operational efficiency, improves material traceability, and ensures strategic and sustainable management of warehouse resources.
