Inventories represent a large part of the fixed assets of companies and, in this regard, it is extremely important to carry out good management of these materials. The management must allow the continuous flow of goods without the lack of supply in the operations, ensuring the fulfillment of the customers' demands, but without possessing excesses that could encumber stocks. Given the importance of the management of these resources, the present study aims to analyze which changes could be applied to improve the stock management of the company Almeida Ferragens LTDA.
