| Abstract | Most of the earlier applications of the analytical techniques
in inventory management covered various aspects of industrial and military operations. In this study a program directed at improving
the operations in hospital pharmacy inventory control system through the application of ·scientific techniques has been undertaken. This study is an attempt to obtain quantitative descriptions of actual operations in order to provide a basis for more effective decision making.
An analysis for the distribution of demand for different items
in the inventory showed that the demand for all the items in the
system tend to fit Poisson distribution. The system was analyzed by using different models which include I deterministic and probabilistic demand models: (1) deterministic
scheduling-period-order-level system, (2) deterministic scheduling-period-order-level system with the consideration of buffer stock, (3) probabilistic scheduling-period-order-level system, (4) probabilistic scheduling-period-order-level system with ABC classification,
and (5) probabilistic reorder-point-lot-size system with ABC classification. Simulation techniques were used for probabilistic systems while deterministic ·systems were solved .by analytical method.
It has been shown that a probabilistic scheduling-period- order level system with selective inventory control gives the optimal policy. |
