Abstract

Inventory control in the shrimp sector of the Santa Rosa canton plays a very important role within the economic context of the country, being one of the sectors with the greatest financial contribution to Ecuador. However, over time within shrimp companies they have a single purpose which is to reduce losses and ensure operational sustainability, therefore, a detailed analysis of current inventory management practices will be carried out, identifying both their strengths as well as areas requiring improvement. Likewise, the main causes of inventory losses are investigated due to factors such as obsolescence, deterioration, mismanagement and theft. However, seasonal demands and market trends must be taken into account, which allows establishing inventory levels that adjust to the fluctuations characteristic of the sector, since this comprehensive approach seeks to propose strategies that not only improve efficiency in inventory management, but also strengthen the capacity of these companies and likewise adapt to market changes, minimizing the risk of losses and promoting sustainable operations, the methodology used in this project will be qualitative, providing a deep vision of inventory control practices, allowing key opportunities for optimization to be identified. Through the recommendations generated, the aim is to improve inventory management in the sector, ensuring its development and long-term competitiveness in a dynamic and demanding market environment.
