Estudo da viabilidade da implantação de um sistema informatizado de contagem de inventário

Abstract

Performance evaluation of production processes or subsidiary to this is always something to be sought, due bring some differentiation as a competitor. Many processes use proprietary computer tools, as worksheets, and can meet the need of either demand, but there are cases where their use should be avoided, due may bring harm to the result, or cause increased costs to their practice. Companies, in general, should carry out inventories at various periods, as daily, weekly, quarterly or as needed. Inventory is a routine activity, some companies or industries stop their production process in order to start the inventory process. In theses cases, the completion time becomes critical, because depending on the date which may be close to delivering a big sale product, it is desired that the inventory may be as brief as possible, otherwise it may bring delays in delivery and other results not expected. An analysis of the process of periodic inventory counting of items of a specific sector of the electronics industry in Manus Industry Pole was conducted to better understand the problems from this. With the analysis it was possible to identify which problems exist and investigate better ways of their implementation, such as the use of wireless networks and a mobile device to collect real time data. Noted in conclusion that there was a reduction in costs due to the decrease of people like the counting process, the use of low-cost technology, and we observed a decrease in errors and increase accuracy.
