For the development of the titling project, a survey was applied to the personnel of the Doña Isabel Dairy Company and a survey to General Manager, in addition, it was necessary to apply research techniques such as observation and bibliographic review, with the aim of obtaining sufficient and competent information. A series of deficiencies were identified, such as the company’s lack of an inventory control system, the absence of supply policies, and the warehouse staff’s unawareness of the stock of merchandise. As a final result, it was evidenced that the company officials occasionally carry out a physical control of inventories, which causes products to expire due to over-supply, which harms the profitability of the business. It was concluded that the company currently has poor control and management of stocks, which caused the acquisition cost to be high, which is why the profit margin is minimal. The highest authority of the Doña Isabel Dairy Company recommended implementing an internal control system to guarantee and safeguard inventories in order to manage and control inventories efficiently and effectively, minimizing costs and maximizing economic benefits. for the company
