Proposta de gestão de estoque no almoxarifado de uma instituição policial de perícia criminal

Abstract

Inventory management is a critical function in both private companies and the public sector. Despite differences in goals and organizational structures, both require effective inventory control to ensure the availability of products and services. In the public sector, however, the priority lies in the continuous and efficient delivery of services to the population. In this context, this study aimed to analyze inventory management in the warehouse of a police forensic institution, with the objective of proposing a physical reorganization of the space to better meet institutional needs. The study is exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, and applied in nature. The research demonstrated that the adoption of appropriate techniques, such as ABC Classification and a strategic physical layout, contributes to the efficiency of operational routines by improving material flow control and warehouse organization. The study proposed the implementation of a new physical space with an internal layout suited to the types of stored items. The application of the ABC Curve identified deficiencies in categorization, control, and storage, supporting the development of an action plan focused on prioritizing strategic supplies and optimizing space utilization. It is concluded that the application of proper inventory management techniques, combined with a well-structured research methodology, can positively impact the efficiency and quality of forensic services. Based on the analysis and supported by various authors, it was possible to develop guidelines for improvement, suggesting a new location, internal layout design, and an action plan to ensure greater efficiency and control in the institution's supply sector
