In addition to this, the current inventory management process of the Q&HS department was analyzed and based on the information collected, a new system was developed that allows the department to have greater control over the orders placed, the arrival and departure of items used for the safety of company workers. The inventory management system developed includes the analysis of the units to order for each personal protection element, the optimal order point considering the lead time that suppliers have, the development of a database for arrival control, registration and departure of personal protection items.
