Abstract:
The management of warehouses and stocks aims to ensure the balanced availability of materials necessary for the activities of the companies. The work developed focuses on the implementation of an MRP system, to help manage the warehouses of an urban public transport company. The implemented tool allows identifying the items to be provisioned, estimating quantities, having, for that, to define the triggers and parameters of the items to be controlled. To frame the tool in its principles, it was necessary to adapt it to the functioning of the system that feeds it, the ERP, which allows adapting the company’s methods to the operation of the tool and in this way also defining its layout.
The implementation of this tool demonstrated the efficiency of the process, in adapting to the company’s working methods and to the main objective, the aid of the warehouses’ management. With the tool implemented, it is intended to cover fourteen thousand articles, which makes it possible to respond to the initial expectations of the project and to the internal restructuring that the company intends to carry out.
