Aplicação da Programação Linear no Controle de Estoque de Peças de Reposição em uma Organização Aérea: Estudo de Caso

Abstract

The research addresses the application of Linear Programming as a tool to optimize spare parts inventory control in an airline organization. The study seeks to minimize costs and maximize logistics efficiency, considering operational constraints and the demand for parts. The methodology employed involves the formulation of mathematical models based on Linear Programming to determine the ideal quantity of parts to be kept in stock, ensuring the necessary availability without excesses that could financially impact the organization. The case study presents a practical application of the proposed modeling in an airline company, demonstrating the benefits of the approach. The results indicate that the use of Linear Programming can lead to a significant reduction in operating costs, improving inventory planning and management. The research contributes to the literature on supply management by providing a model that can be adapted to different business contexts that deal with the maintenance and replacement of critical parts.
