Descrição
Resumo:The objective of this work was to establish the importance of using KPI’s. The present work was carried out in an italian furniture company. This article showed the importance of performance indicators in logistics management and in company strategic planning, pointing out how to manage its suppliers, using tools and proposing indicators and improvements, demonstrating how this implies greater efficiency and results gain. To clearly understand the proposal, we defined the concept of logistics, inventory, performance indicators, analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining a stock and how this interferes with the company's results. Suppliers from China, Poland and Romania were analyzed. In this way, it was possible to propose the necessary points to evaluate the supplier and to establish criteria for verifying compliance with the established objectives. In view of the above, it is concluded that the indicators provide greater control over the choice of supplier, resulting in a competitive advantage and also opportunities for improvement.
