Control of Drug Inventory using the Economic Order Quantity Method at Difta Farma Pharmacy

Abstract

The essential component of pharmaceutical operations is inventory. Patients and consumers will not receive adequate service if the inventory is insufficient. Therefore, inventory control is necessary. The aim of this study is to determine the ideal order quantity and reorder time at Difta Farma Pharmacy using Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Reorder Point (ROP) calculations. This research employs quantitative techniques for descriptive research, collecting data through interviews and documents. EOQ will be used to assess the collected data. The projected outcomes for effective drug ordering in 2024 are as follows: Rhinos Sr, 280 units ordered three times with a reorder point of 280 units, and Cataflam 50 mg, 211 units ordered twice with a reorder point of 211 units.
