Abstract

The present work shows the substantiation of implementing an inventory control system, using the PMI methodology, in DIAB Ecuador S.A Company. DIAB Ecuador S.A is a company dedicated to providing processed wood rafts, for the manufacturing and exportation of blocks and sheets raft. The performance of their manufacturing processes requires a lot of inventory and it was very important that areas such as purchase, billing and mainly storage, know the current status of the inventory. When the respective information uprising was performed, we found that the company’s earnings were reducing; there was a lot of waste in their inventory, they had no real time information from the existence in storage. This caused them to lose time, cost and resources (materials and supplies); the little information they had was recorded in spreadsheets, Microsoft Access and controlled with a slow system. The solution to this problem was to implement the inventory control system (ICS), under the rules and tools offered by the PMI methodology. The system enabled them to have knowledge of what they had in storage, accurate status information of their products, expenses of economic resources were reduced and time savings were achieved in the execution of their production processes.
