Analyzing the Inventory System of Medical Medicine in Type B Pharmaceutical Installations at Regional Hospitals Using The ABC-VEN Analysis and Continuous Review System Methods

Abstract

The Regional General Hospital operates a Pharmacy Installation to oversee the management and regulation of medications. Presently, many pharmaceutical installations are encountering difficulties in effectively managing their medical medicine inventory, leading to excessive stock in some cases and occasional shortages that negatively impact the fulfillment of medical medicine services. This study aims to investigate the inventory management practices at the Regional General Hospital in order to enhance the efficiency of the medical medicine inventory management system. A specific Regional General Hospital was chosen as the focus of this case study. The approach employed to address the issue combines the ABC-VEN analysis with the Continuous Review System method. The proposed inventory medical medicine management design, as revealed by the study, demonstrates the potential to minimize overall inventory management costs and improve the level of medical medicine fulfillment services.
