      abstract = {Efficient inventory and resource management is critical in automobile rebuilding operations, where delays, material shortages, and inefficient resource allocation can significantly affect productivity and service quality. This study assessed the inventory and resource management practices of G-Tecnica Equipment Corporation in terms of stock availability, storage and organization, monitoring and control, procurement and replenishment, as well as labor, equipment, and time management. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was used, with data collected from employees directly involved in automobile rebuilding operations through a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, ranking, and Pearson correlation. Results revealed that inventory management practices were generally rated as moderate, with stock availability and procurement processes identified as areas needing improvement due to occasional shortages and delays. Storage, organization, and monitoring practices were assessed as satisfactory. Resource management practices were rated as generally effective, particularly in labor, equipment, and time management. Operational issues such as delays and resource inefficiencies were present but not considered severe. Overall, respondents indicated that current practices support operational efficiency to a satisfactory extent. The study concludes that while the company demonstrates generally effective management systems, improvements in inventory tracking, procurement planning, and system automation are necessary to enhance operational performance. Adoption of computerized inventory systems and strengthened coordination with suppliers are recommended.},
