In the present article, bibliographic research and action research were carried out to understand the criteria for managing the layout of prototype parts in the shed of an automotive industry. This area was chosen because there are not many studies related to this topic in the academic field. The general objective was to analyze the variables involved in the storage of the prototype parts used in different programs in the warehouse of the automotive company in question and to define criteria for storage of the materials. In addition, the specific objectives were to identify the materials stored in the shed, to analyze the distance traveled to separate them and to present a model suggestion of the parts storage layout, ensuring a more efficient material movement. In this analysis, data were extracted from the stock control system and field observation was carried out so that the current management model was delimited and a new suggestion was defined in order to reduce the distance that the materials travel from the shelf in the stock until they reach exit from the shed and subsequent assembly in vehicles. The data obtained were stratified and interpreted to obtain the key information for the study. The comparison between the current layout and the proposed layout allowed us to observe that the parts were not being stored in an optimized way and that more assertive criteria should be considered to define the location of the prototype parts.
