Abstract

It is clear that in organizations without adequate inventory management, situations such as excessive purchases of items, uncontrolled inventory holdings, or product shortages arise, all of which result in increased costs. The company Suramericana de Seguros (SURA) headquartered at calle 93 carries out the management of its inventories in an empirical way, without any kind of model to follow, where it is found that continuously buying corporate stationery and merchandising without taking into account the stock. In accordance with the problems identified, a review and adaptation of the spaces dedicated to product storage is proposed, complemented by the redefinition of functions for the position of business assistant, who is responsible for the process of inventory and product acquisition. According to the findings for the control of this type of inventory at the South American insurance company (SURA), located at calle 93, a series of guidelines are defined that focus on the reduction of expenses associated with the business unit's budget, and the reduction of lost inventory, which can be seen as a contribution to the reduction of the company's environmental impact.
