Gestión de inventarios y su impacto en la rentabilidad del Comercial “Truck Diesel” de la ciudad de Machala.

Abstract

Inventory management is a constantly evolving process and represents an opportunity for continuous improvement, ensuring better resource management and maximizing organizational profitability. This study focuses on the implementation of an inventory management model through a procedures manual for the Truck Diesel Sales Department in the city of Machala. The objective was to identify and address existing deficiencies in its current processes. The research used the documentary method, supporting theoretical information on the variables in the direct relationship between inventory optimization and increased organizational profitability. A descriptive method was also used to observe the current situation of the organization, with a mixed approach combining qualitative and quantitative aspects. Data collection instruments such as surveys were used. SPSS v29 was used to measure the reliability of the instruments and the consistency of the results, and the surveys were tabulated. Among the results obtained, poor inventory management was observed, along with the need to implement an improvement tool to carry out supply chain activities within the company. Based on the results, an improvement proposal is presented through a procedure manual applying the just-in-time management model for the Diesel Truck Sales Department.
