Abstract

Among logistics activities, inventory management stands out for cost increasing, demand fluctuations and for ensuring reasonable operational resources use. Therefore, a tool that enables more efficient inventory management Vendor Managed Inventory - VMI. It enables inventory monitoring by the supplier, being his responsibility immediately resupply when safety stock is reached. In face of such importance, this study aims to analyze VMI adoption in a food retailer inventory. So, a qualitative approach was used, presenting a case study, with semi-structured interviews with a script of questions. Thus, through this research we could identify advantages such as stock and delivery cost reduction.
