In response to this new outlook, business organizations seek to rethink and modify their management model to streamline resources and maximize operational efficiency. In this context, this paper analyzes inventory management as a cost reduction tool in a truck and bus company, based in a city in the state of São Paulo. This is a qualitative research, and adopted the case study method. The results revealed that employees recognize the existence of inventory management in the company, and its important control role. This is proven by the existence of a structured area, use of systems and standards.
