Presents a variable level in certain products a comparison of the last years, which makes
it difficult to have a space movement in the storage in the finished product warehouse.
Among the most important reasons for building and maintaining an inventory are:
The fluctuations of demand, it is not always known how much is going to be needed at
any given time, but still the demand of customers must be satisfied in time.
Also with this forecast is detected that there may be products that will remain stored
longer than expected.
Equally, it must be sought that the inventory must maintain the balance between what is
needed and what is processed.
