Como esses processos sofrem várias interferências, devido a outros processos da SC, como compra de materiais, planejamento, programação e abastecimento da produção, tornam-se comuns situações como excessos de materiais, baixa acuracidade dos estoques, dificuldade de localização, falhas no atendimento dos pedidos e montagem de kits, entre outros. Pensando nestas dificuldades gerenciais, busca-se, nesta dissertação, utilizar uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, com objetivos empíricos e descritivos e análise quantitativa para desenvolver uma ferramenta gerencial, com base em um modelo de simulação a eventos discretos, como apoio às decisões sobre os recursos necessários para execução de forma efetiva dos processos citados. O objeto de estudo foi um almoxarifado de produtos estampados de uma empresa multinacional no setor automotivo. Onde a criação de um modelo conceitual e aplicação da simulação foram os objetivos. Adotou-se a técnica IDEF-SIM para a modelagem conceitual do problema e foi utilizado o software ProModel® para se obter uma racionalização na aplicação dos recursos necessários para que o almoxarifado tenha um melhor desempenho, frente a vários cenários possíveis de ocorrer. Identificou-se, após a simulação,...

As these processes suffer several interferences, due to other SC processes, such as material purchase, planning, scheduling and production supply, situations such as material excesses, low inventory accuracy, difficulty in locating, ordering and assembling kits, among others. In this dissertation, we intend to use a research of an applied nature, with empirical and descriptive objectives and quantitative analysis to develop a managerial tool, based on a simulation model to discrete events, as support to the decisions about the necessary resources to effectively execute the cited cases. The object of study was a warehouse of stamped products of a multinational company in the automotive sector. Where the creation of a conceptual model and application of the simulation were the objectives. The IDEF-SIM technique was adopted for the conceptual modeling of the problem and ProModel® software was used to obtain a rationalization in the application of the necessary resources so that the warehouse performs better, against several possible scenarios to occur. It was found after the simulation that one of the main problems in the operation of the warehouse was related to the unbalanced arrival of the items that form the kits, another one related to the excessive...

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Technology in Cost and Management Accounting, Durban University of Technology, Durban, 2015. / The Stores Division reportedly found it very difficult to control inventories as well as executing roles and responsibilities allocated in the section. The aims of this study were to identify factors affecting the success of inventory control and to assess strategies used by the Stores Division of the eThekwini Municipality in Durban to control inventory stocks. In order to arrive at the deep structure underpinning inventory control, three theoretical frameworks were used, i.e., stock diffusion theory, application control theory and inventory control in theory and practice. This case study was census, descriptive, cross-sectional and predominantly quantitative in nature with only two open-ended questions. The 57 questionnaires were administered by members of staff at the Stores and Procurement Divisions of the eThekwini Municipality in Durban. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and categorised according to themes. The IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 was used to determine statistical results. The findings of the study revealed that employees lack proper training and education and that there is poor inventory control planning, lack of staff communication and lack of procurement time management when processing inventory orders. Respondents also indicated that there are no common strategies in place to control inventories. The study recommends that the Stores Division should consider the levels of staff qualifications, provide more staff training, and improve inventory control planning; communication; time management, and instigate innovative strategies in order to eradicate growing costs of inventory stocks. Moreover, the internal control processes need to be mapped according to the various roles identified.
