Automatización del sistema de inventarios en TPK Street Food, Villavicencio.

Abstract

TPK Street Food, a fast-food company located in the La Esperanza sector of Villavicencio, has experienced significant growth in sales, profits, and market position in recent years. However, this growth has also highlighted a major problem in its administrative area: recurring errors in raw material counting and inventory records. Currently, inventory control and logistics processes are carried out manually using notebooks and printed forms, leading to errors in raw material data recording. Due to the problems TPK Street Food faces, the company seeks to improve its management by optimizing inventory control and data recording. The goal is to analyze all stages of the raw material process to better understand the company's problems and operations. This will be achieved using various industrial engineering tools, such as Pareto charts, Ishikawa diagrams, the 5 Whys method, SIPOC diagrams, and process flowcharts, to provide a more comprehensive analysis that will allow for the development of a solution. Finally, the proposal consists of creating a Python-based tool for the company to directly automate inventory control and eliminate manual inventory counting by warehouse operators.
