Abstract

Hospital management covers various aspects, including resource planning, service organization, policy implementation, and service quality control, to inventory. Inventory management managed by the warehouse section of the Pharmacy Installation at the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang uses Inventory Management that is still not neatly organized and manual (not yet systematized). Orders are only made based on purchases and sales of goods in the previous period. This study aims to determine the application of correct inventory management analysis using the Always Better Control (ABC), Economic Quantity Order (EOQ), Lead Time, Safety Stock, and Re-Order Point methods whether they are in accordance with the current inventory management process that has been running manually.

To carry out proper Inventory Management, an analysis is carried out using the Always Better Control (ABC), Economic Quantity Order (EOQ), Lead Time, Safety Stock, and Re-Order Point methods. The results of the study showed that there was a difference between the calculation results and the current conditions which have the potential to cause an empty stock in the warehouse and disrupt the service process. So it would be better to use the correct inventory management analysis calculation, namely ABC grouping, it is hoped that management can prioritize consumables according to category considering the high needs, and for the availability of stock, the category can be prioritized, the calculation of EOQ which has a higher value can be feared that there will be an empty stock due to the lack of inventory purchases to meet service needs, while for the lower EOQ calculation results that there is still an amount that can be made efficient in purchasing, while the Re-Order Point analysis which is lower than the total inventory before making a purchase means that the stock is still too high but has been purchased again, this is less efficient and can be over stock. While for higher calculations it can result in an empty stock.
