Palacios-Alvarado Wlamyr, Luna-Pereira, Henry Orlando, Caicedo-Rolon, Alvaro Junior

Abstract


Inventory management is a little studied topic in the health sector, but at the same time of great importance, since it allows optimizing costs and that the products do not expire or become obsolete as they cause effects on customer service and the health of these same. Within this research, a search was conducted in different databases to collect information related to inventory management and models which are directly related to the health sector and pharmacies within different organizations. Most of the information was found in a second language. Once the information was analyzed, we started from the effects that logistics has in this sector, continued with the common problems that the documents had, the methodologies, the performance measures were also taken into account and finally the strategies. The inventory management within the pharmacies of the health entities is an important aspect and the starting point for decision making on which evolves in the supply and demand, resulting in a reliable state of control of materials and products.
