     This article presents a documentary analysis on the subject of inventory management. It seeks to gather relevant information about how leading companies currently manage their inventories and their influence on the continuous improvement of the organization. Its main objective is to determine the trends in inventory management for the optimization of the companies' processes. The methodology to be used in this research project will be interpretative and descriptive, with the support of a documentary research, searching for information in specialized search bases such as Scielo, Redalyc, Scopus, among others. In this review it was determined the existence of different inventory management methods that can adapt to the constant change of the market and its consumer. The literature classifies these standards into two large groups or systems: deterministic systems or probabilistic systems.
