Abstract

The objective of this research is to define the inventory levels of the A type references of the ortholoc plates for the limb line in the company Bioart S.A. There is an increase in sales from 2017 to 2018 but a decrease from 2018 to 2019, due to complaints about poor service due to missing important references. Among the activities carried out, the most important references were determined through an ABC classification, with this information the sale history of the last years was analyzed and thus the different precision measurements were applied in different time period ranges. Forecasts that allowed knowing the behavior of the evaluated references and proposing the implementation of control policies of the company's inventory that allow to optimize the inventory allowing having in stock always this type of items that are irreplaceable. With this work a correct definition of the inventory levels of spare parts type A was achieved for the fleet under study, determining an economic amount of EOQ order, as order size to request, and a reorder point as minimum levels in existence.
