The objective of this dissertation is to develop and establish an inventory management method for uniforms through IT solutions that can be used by all inventory managers at uniform distribution points. With this in mind, studies were conducted on techniques for material classification, short term demand forecasting, inventory management (continuous review method and periodic review method) as well as techniques for calculating safety stock to achieve the desired the service level. Additionally, this proposal allows us to compare and contrast different inventory policies on the basis of three principal cost criteria. Those criterion are: acquisition cost, inventory maintenance, and inventory loss. As a result, recalculations were proposed to the IT solution that is currently being used by the Brazilian Navy to effectively manage stock levels. Once implemented, these tools will allow inventory managers, the technical experts of the navy, to make the best decisions with the best information possible.
