Inventory management, control policies, production distribution systemsAbstract
The growing gap between inventory-control research and practice evidences the need to create approaching mechanisms, so alternatives for improvement could be offered from research, in order to manage the complexity of inventories in supply chains. This paper presents a diagnostic of the inventory management of final products, work in process and raw materials, developed with the medium companies of the Valle of Aburrá, Colombia, in the foods, pharmaceutical, plastic and apparel sectors. Results evidence opportunities of improvement and confirm the need of taking the engineering methodologies to a more realistic implementation, that allows to involve the dynamics of the regional supply chains.
