The research aims to provide the company with practical tools and knowledge that will enable it to more effectively manage its inventories and minimize the risks associated with stock-outs, thereby improving its competitiveness and its ability to meet market demands. Through the application of the brainstorming technique, 11 possible causes that make it difficult to maintain optimal inventory levels were identified. Through the application of the 6M on quality and the fish diagram, the causes found were classified, and by means of the Pareto diagram the highest level causes were determined; finally, a problem tree diagram was used to determine the miscalculation of orders, lack of control methods and excessive purchases. With the application of the EOQ methodology, a study was carried out to determine the costs of ordering and maintaining inventory, which are equivalent to $ 8167.87 and $ 205.61 respectively; in addition to determining the number of orders to be placed in a year. Finally, to control the overstock, the EOQ methodology was applied to optimize the warehouse inventory.
