Gestão de estoque para redução de custos na produção rural - revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

This article aims to conduct an integrative literature review in order to identify, analyze, and synthesize the main practices, challenges, and innovations related to inventory management in rural enterprises. The analyzed studies indicate that inventory management constitutes a strategic element for reducing post-harvest losses, optimizing productive resources, and strengthening competitiveness in agribusiness, although it is still characterized by structural limitations and uneven adoption of technologies across the sector. The results of the review highlight three central axes: (i) the use of classical management tools, such as ABC analysis, inventory turnover, and the PDCA cycle, which remain essential, particularly in the context of family farming; (ii) the incorporation of technological innovations, such as RFID, ERP systems, and fuzzy models, which offer more advanced solutions but face obstacles related to implementation costs and technical training; and (iii) planning and infrastructure-related aspects, in which insufficient storage capacity emerges as one of the main bottlenecks in the rural sector.The discussion also addresses the use of the ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) model, applied to agricultural consumption and production time series, as a complementary tool for forecasting input demand and stored volumes, reinforcing the integration between planning and decision-making.
