A inteligência artificial na otimização da gestão de estoque

Abstract

This Final Course Work (TCC) addresses the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the optimization of inventory management, with the aim of improving operational efficiency and reducing costs in companies. Artificial Intelligence is a technology that allows machines and systems to operate from data using algorithms and models to recognize patterns, make predictions or make decisions based on the information it receives. This is qualitative research using bibliographic research through the reading and analysis of scientific articles. The article is justified by exploring the potential of artificial intelligence to transform logistics processes, providing more agile, dynamic and assertive inventory control. Its general objective is to analyze the impact of artificial intelligence in the optimization of inventory management, identifying the advantages and challenges of its implementation in companies. The specific objectives are to: (I) expose the challenges faced by companies when implementing AI systems in inventory management, (II) identify the main benefits of implementing AI systems in inventory management, and (III) propose strategies to overcome the challenges and maximize the benefits of implementing AI systems in inventory management, considering the particularities of each sector and the best market practices. The study shows how inventory management is a critical process for maintaining an adequate flow of products, avoiding both shortages and excesses of items, which can compromise profitability and customer service. Therefore, AI-based technologies, such as machine learning algorithms, neural networks, and predictive analytics, can be applied to predict product demand, optimize inventory levels, and improve the accuracy of logistics decisions. The use of these technologies allows companies to anticipate consumption trends and adjust their purchases and inventories more accurately. The research concludes that artificial intelligence has a transformative role in inventory management, offering innovative and effective solutions for companies to adapt to an increasingly dynamic and competitive market.
