El Control de Inventarios y su incidencia en Ia rentabilidad del Comercial Centro Del Descuento del cantón Montecristi.

Abstract

The present investigative project was developed in the Centro del Discount commercial premises, located in the Montecristi canton, where problems in inventory management were identified. These irregularities have generated distrust in the owner of the business, who has questioned the results of her economic performance. When a business, regardless of its size, does not have adequate control in key areas such as inventory, the long-term consequences can be serious. The lack of efficient inventory management can affect the management of the business and put its liquidity at risk. Therefore, the objective of this research is to normalize how internal inventory control is being managed in the discount center, since this is one of the most important assets for the success of commercial activities. To carry out the study, several methods and techniques were used that were essential to understand the problem. Analytical, deductive and inductive methods were applied, and interviews were conducted with business personnel, in addition to directly observing the operation on site. These approaches made it possible to obtain a complete financial analysis. As a result of the research, a manual was prepared with specific policies and procedures for inventory management. This manual will become a key tool for the proper functioning of the business. By following established procedures, the owner will be able to obtain updated information on the status of inventory, which will help him avoid losses and improve efficiency in business management.
