Abstract

The Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been gaining greater relevance in the sector, leading companies to improve the level of customer service and keep costs under control. However, it was identified that SCM is a less explored field in the acquirer market, so this work is an opportunity to contribute to the academic research. It was observed the opportunity to build an inventory model considering transportation as a variable cost, unlike most models found in literature. The objective of the study was to develop an inventory allocation model for the SIMcard chain in a Brazilian company in the acquiring sector, keeping the service level agreed with the customer. Inventory and transport costs were calculated for different supply cycles for all SIMcards operators and transportation hubs, to obtain the lowest total cost configuration in the supply chain. The results show that the costs cannot be considered individually and considering both costs, transport and inventory, there is an opportunity to increase efficiency in the studied operation of this work.
