Propuesta de un sistema de gestión de inventarios para un negocio de pintura automotriz de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The general objective of this research was to propose an improvement plan for inventory registration and control in a company dedicated to the sale of automotive paint in the city of Guayaquil. This was achieved through the implementation of a management system that would optimize the processes related to the storage, registration, and control of stock. The research methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, with a descriptive scope and a non-experimental design. To diagnose the current situation, techniques such as interviews with company employees and direct observation in the sales and storage areas were used. This allowed for the identification of several deficiencies related to inventory management. Among the problems found were the absence of a management system, the use of manual records, a lack of organization within the warehouse, and the absence of performance indicators. In response, an improvement proposal was designed based on the implementation of the Odoo system, supported by ABC classification for warehouse organization and the improvement of product codes. Finally, the financial evaluation determines that the proposal is feasible under the analyzed scenario, yielding an NPV of $2489.06, an IRR of 54.15%, and a payback period of 1.46 years. It is concluded that the proposal can contribute to improved inventory control and promote more organized and efficient stock management.
