Stocks are important in today s companies and can be an important part of their assets. In service industries related to education such as universities, schools or similar institutions, there is an opportunity to look at other factors that improve performance beyond education, such as stock management. This dissertation aims to show the results of the implantation of a centralized stock in the university, which compares before the implementation phase with after the implementation phase of the project, besides suggesting improvement proposals for a more efficient stock management. The contribution of the study is to understand the particularities of the university in terms of stock management, propose improvements, analyze gains and serve as a reference for other educational institutions. The method used was an ex post facto case study combined with stock policies and estimation methods such as: stock policies (s, Q), (s, S), (R, S), (R, s, S), ABC curve, XYZ classification, two drawer policy and Wagner-Whitin algorithm. At the end of the study, it was concluded that with the project implemented, the university showed qualitative improvements: integrated process between areas, qualified purchases, greater control of materials and services, activities supported by the system. In terms of quantitative improvements: materials costs were reduced by approximately 22 percent and the number of services done and computed increased by approximately 26 percent compared to the year before the implementation and after the implementation of the project. Finally, for new researches it is suggested that new variables can be used to complement the results, such as: time taken to do a service, quantity of materials purchased and spent, queue time to take the materials. In addition, another variable to consider is the average price of the item or the price for each purchase, and not the last unit price of the item.
