Implantação de gestão de estoque: estudo de caso em uma farmácia do SUS.

Abstract

Inventory management plays a crucial role in business operations, directly influencing efficiency and profitability. Maintaining a proper balance between supply and demand, optimizing inventory levels while ensuring efficient rotation are essential elements. Therefore, the present study aims to implement an efficient stock management system in the pharmacy of the Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas - CAPS AD III, aiming to improve the quality of the services offered, optimizing the resources available to guarantee a service of excellence to the center's users. Tools such as the ABC Curve were used, which contributes to controlling the levels of materials in the pharmacy, allowing managers to pay more attention to class A items, that is, those with greater consumption. Of the 95 items selected for the year 2021, it appears that only 19 corresponded to 79.13% of the total financial value spent on the organization, classifying them in class A of the curve. In relation to the year 2022, only 18 of the 106 items selected, corresponding to 70.35% of the purchase value, are classified as class “A”, where they are classified as the items of greatest importance for the stock. In conclusion, with the aim of reducing stock levels, concepts such as economic purchasing batch, minimum stock, maximum stock and reorder point were implemented. Linked to this aspect, the use of software for inventory management was proposed. These measures helped to avoid excess and shortage problems, providing better balance and control of stocks.
