Abstract

Individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs) and microenterprises are important parts of the Brazilian economy, contributing directly to the creation and maintenance of jobs, their economic results represent almost a third of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) (SEBRAE, 2023). In this study, we sought to analyze the inventory management of MEIs and microenterprises of the retail food trade in Posse (GO). In the basis of the research, management themes were presented with a focus on inventory management, such as: tools, indicators and the use of systems. Its methodology was bibliographic, exploratory and descriptive research, through a case study with a qualitative approach. In order to obtain the necessary data for the analysis of the research problem, 22 companies operating in the local retail trade were interviewed. In this way, it was found that few companies go beyond the control of incoming and outgoing goods, prevailing the use of manual controls and the lack of knowledge of managers represents the main technical weakness for the implementation and maintenance of good practices in inventory management.
