Abstract

This recent investigation has the objective of improving the inventory management of the agricultural company Andrea SAC via the implementation of RFID technology, Cycle Counting based on Multicriteria ABC Analysis and Systematic Layout Planning. Finally, the goal is to increase the Inventory Record Accuracy (ERA). On other things, the investigation is going to be based on the application of every single tool mentioned with the goal of solving the root causes that are generating the low Inventory Record Accuracy problem. To achieve this, we need first to determine the background of the agricultural sector and grape exports, while highlighting the reasons why this topic was chosen, and the research related to this problem. Also, we´re going to detail the ways RFID technology helps us to improve the accuracy in inventory counting, the recommended counting frequency to do for every inventory group (A, B or C) with the objective of increasing the ERA indicator and maximizing the visibility of every SKU using Systematic Layout Planning.
