<p>Due to the economic expressiveness of the tourism activity in the northeast region, it is common to have a large number of hotels in the region. In this sense, it is interesting to look for means that aim at the efficiency of the inventory management by companies. The objective of the present research is to develop a proposal to resize stocks in a hotel company through the use of inventory control tools: minimum stock, order point, inventory turnover and inventory coverage. In addition to that, we aim to study the demand forecast by the company and the resupply mode of the stock. Besides that, we use the ABC curve to classify the materials in stock. The methods used were: interviews with the managers of each area involved in the process and analyses of reports provided by the company. As a result of the research, we could find out that the company studied the demand observing the occupancy rate of the hotel. the resupply occurred through request to the warehouse, the items in stock were classified through the ABC curve, minimum stock, order point, inventory turnover and inventory coverage were performed for each item in category A of the ABC curve. It was also observed that the leadtime of the resupply process was equivalent to three days.</p>
