Abstract

In warehouse management lies mainly the absence of spare parts when they are needed for maintenance of machinery or because a fault arose, and it is necessary to replace the parts. This cause must be reduced as it generates a huge downtime of the machinery. In the present case study, the ABC was used to separate the most important spare parts families, in addition, using the EOQ together with the reorder point was able to efficiently supply the spare parts stores, to reduce stock breakages and, Also, the security stock was used. Then, from implementing the improvement tools in the sourcing process, 5S and ABC methods were used to organize the warehouses, obtaining in this way a considerable decrease in the stock break of approximately 42% and a reduction of the purchase orders by 58%.
