Abstract

This study focuses on the importance of efficient inventory management in the aerospace sector. The objective of the research is to identify and implement improvements in inventory management to resolve discrepancies, such as lack or excess of materials and stock discrepancies, which negatively impact production. The methodology used involves an exploratory approach, supported by a literature review and a case study in a company in the aerospace sector. Various techniques were applied, such as economic purchase lot (LEC), safety stock, minimum and maximum stock, and ABC classification, to optimize inventory control. The results show significant improvements in accuracy and inventory management, reducing operational costs and aligning inventory levels with production needs. Implementing these methods has resulted in more efficient materials handling, minimized excess inventory, and mitigated the risk of production delays due to missing items, contributing to more sustainable and cost-effective inventory practices within the company. All improvements applied led to cost reductions that optimized the company's available capital.
