    Inventory management is a fundamental pillar for operational efficiency and, above all, for the profitability of organizations. This study proposes an inventory management model for the company TECNIMAQ, with the purpose of reducing inventory costs and providing the company with a tool to avoid overstocks or shortages of its products so that it can respond efficiently to customer demands. The methodology employed includes a quantitative analysis focused on the application of the EOQ model in conjunction with safety inventories, order points and time between orders based on historical data and demand forecasts. The results show that the company currently manages its inventory empirically or improvised, without considering any control parameter, which has resulted in high inventory costs and sometimes in product obsolescence. The application of the EOQ model based on the demand forecast shows that the inventory turnover increases from 1,846 to 2,314 and the total inventory costs are reduced from $287624.65 to $238075.95, which represents a savings of 17.20%, this shows a significant improvement in the operational efficiency of our company without affecting the availability of items. In conclusion, through proper inventory management the organization will be able to generate savings and adapt to future fluctuating market changes.
