RESUMEN
El control de inventarios es crucial para mejorar la eficiencia operativa y por ende la rentabilidad
empresarial. Este estudio aborda el tema de control de inventarios en la industria minera, centrándose
en la gestión de inventario y riesgos asociados, destacando la necesidad del uso de metodologías para
mejorar el proceso. Utiliza un enfoque cualitativo, específicamente el estudio de caso, para realizar
una descripción exhaustiva de las unidades de análisis y su contexto. Se emplean técnicas de análisis
inductivo y analítico-sintético para identificar patrones y comprender integralmente el problema de
estudio. La recolección de datos se realiza a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se emplearon
tres categorías conceptuales para el tratamiento de la información: (a) Proceso de gestión de
inventario y riesgo en la industria minera; (b) Manejo de excedentes, faltantes y obsolescencia; y, (c)
Colaboración con otros departamentos. A partir de las categorías se identificaron como estrategias
vitales para mejorar la rentabilidad de Agrimroc S.A. a partir de una adecuada gestión de inventarios:
la comunicación fluida y orgánica entre todas las áreas que representan el proceso logístico de
aprovisionamiento y despacho, y el soporte en un sistema de información completo y actualizado
sobre la situación de los ítems en control. Es importante señalar que los hallazgos de este trabajo son
válidos exclusivamente para la empresa Agrimroc S.A., no se pretende una generalización.
Palabras clave: control de inventarios, rentabilidad, estudio de caso.
