Inventory Control Methods in a Long-Term Care Pharmacy

"Inventory Control Methods in a Long-Term Care Pharmacy" provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in inventory control within a long-term care pharmacy. The book is based on a quantitative, quasi-experimental case study that addresses the frequent out-of-stock (OOS) events occurring in the industry. By comparing four different inventory control methods, including manual and automated systems, it examines how these methods influence OOS events. The results of this study are not only significant for practice but also contribute to the advancement of existing inventory control theory. The empirical data collected over a period of 11 weeks allow for a well-founded hypothesis testing and statistical analyses, offering valuable insights into the efficiency of the various approaches. This specialized book is aimed at professionals in the fields of pharmacy and healthcare who are interested in optimizing inventory management processes.
