The relevance of the inventories lies in the fundamental objective of every company “profit generation”, which must be correctly controlled, monitored and ordered; nowadays the success of the business depends on several factors: suppliers coordination, the knowledge of the customer and their changing purchase behavior, variations in demand, the price changes, application of promotions, the technological advances in business have allowed to the small business owners passing from a manual process to an automated process optimizing time and resources. The inventory is an activity that must be done daily to determine what items have more rotation, to control at any moment the maximum, minimum and critical stock, to establish the quantity to be ordered, when to order, suppliers time limit for delivery; this information facilitates reports with actual numbers, for the efficient decision-making.

This research starts with data-collection between the sales department and warehouses then these data are analyzed in order to convert them in information and the can be used as an objective in this research. Finally once the information was collected it was elaborated the inventory control system design based in the deterministic model managed by Least Unit Cost Procedure considering parameters such as, cost and time; functionally is easy and simple to operate.
