Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of the lean philosophy applied to inventory management as differential competitive performance in a metallurgical company and at the same time, establish parameters for comparison with the old management model, the Theory of Constraints. This is a descriptive case study, ex-post facto and sectional time. The first stage consisted of an exploratory survey and questionnaires. To collect data, personal interviews with managers in the areas of logistics, operations and employees on the shop floor were performed. As a result, it was observed that after the implementation of lean philosophy, the company achieved greater interactivity in information management between internal and external factors, which allowed the reduction of production costs, improved product quality disposing of large stocks security without compromising the level of service offered to the customer.
