Abstract
This case study analyzes the wheat stock management, a crucial input in the bakery industry, in a company located in the Greater Vitória region, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Using the case study methodology, the objective is to identify ways to save and reduce costs, considering the company's logistics and production needs. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) system through the Continuous Review Model is employed in the analysis of Inventory Management. Prioritizing the French bread, the best-selling product, the application of the ABC method highlights wheat flour as essential. The calculation of lead time, safety stock, and economic order quantity proved promising; however, delivery logistics pose a challenge. The 600-bag limit per truck and the location in a residential area hinder larger orders. The proposed safety stock does not even cover a day's production, requiring adjustments to prevent interruptions. Although the continuous review model presents advantages, logistical and operational limitations must be considered. A hybrid approach may be more suitable to ensure operational efficiency and continuity of operations.
