Modelo de simulación para el sistema de inventario de una empresa de comercio electrónico.

Abstract

Companies to maximize their resources seek to optimize their operational activities, where the management of inventory is a fundamental part to achieve sales objectives. However, having an inventory that fits the reality of companies engaged in electronic commerce is one of the main problems faced by organizations who have before them a variety of models that they can adapt, but do not know which is the one best fits your needs. One of the types of inventory is the simulation that allows to observe in a specific and global way the elements that stand out in a problem. In this way, when using a simulation model, the quantities required for the order are estimated in a better way, with a stock that covers the demand of the consumers. The general objective of the research is to establish the benefits of the simulation model for the inventory system of an e-commerce company. As a methodological procedure, the descriptive was used using the bibliography technique to access primary sources contained in scientific articles, books and other documents that serve to gather information, being able to develop a quality work. The simulation model for the inventory system will allow the company to have an inventory management model to maintain a sufficient stock of raw material for the normal dispatch of production orders at a minimum cost to satisfy its customers.
