Abstract

This work intends to enhance process management, namely by reviewing the stock process in a large company of Portugal. It involves the redesign of this increasingly important process of the supply chain. This factor, in recent decades, has led to a focus on improving the stocks function. That is why this research aims at improving the current process, to take full advantage from the firm's acquired enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This process study highlights the comparison between current process and its proposed improvement. The define-measure-analyse-improve-control (DMAIC) method is systematically applied, and new data emerge from the tests made in the ERP. The improved process will greatly reduce the execution time as well as the number of actors and amount of information circulating outside the system. However, for a greater performance, an analysis with coefficient of variation will be introduced in the future.
