Abstract
Background: This study highlights the importance of effective drug
management to ensure the availability of safe, high-quality medicines.
Ineffective inventory planning may lead to shortages or excess stock,
both of which can cause harm. Objective: This study aims to analyze
drug planning using the consumption method to improve stock
management efficiency. Methods: Data were collected through
surveys and analysis of hospital drug consumption patterns. This
study emphasizes the integration of pharmaceutical services with drug
logistics management as a strategy to enhance the overall quality of
health services. Results: Of the 100 drug samples analyzed, 83
required procurement, while 17 did not due to adequate availability.
The most frequently consumed drug was acetylcysteine cap 200 mg,
with a total usage of 20,607 tablets. Conclusions: Fatimah Islamic
Hospital in Cilacap applies the consumption method by considering
previous usage data, remaining stock, safety stock, and lead time.
