Abstract

Assuming the great importance of the stock for organizations, we idealize a solution applicable on a large scale, making possible its implementation without the need to change the organizational structure or implement training with the staff. Based on the Problem Based Learning methodology, the present study proposed an alternative solution for a general logistics problem concerning inventory accounting. On a theoretical basis, a brief review of the literature relating to logistic management is explored, presenting the main points of inventory problems and technological models practiced. In this context, is proposed an alternative technology based on smart glasses devices, integrating hardware and software based on cloud technology in search of making feasible work as support in the management of stocks. The proposal results were positive, demonstrating the viability within the real world, not being limited only to the metaphysical. Therefore, society can benefit by optimizing its resources and avoiding unnecessary waste and expense.
