Evaluation of Drug and Medical Consumable Inventory Control Using the ABC-VEN Method at LM Pharmacy, Semarang

Abstract
Ineffective inventory management can lead to stockouts of essential items or harmful overstock situations. LM Pharmacy in Semarang requires an efficient and optimal inventory strategy. This involves analyzing and categorizing medications and medical supplies based on investment value (ABC) and clinical significance (VEN) to develop appropriate inventory control policies. This retrospective descriptive study examines the inventory usage data of LM Pharmacy for the year 2024. The analysis employs ABC and VEN classification, which are then integrated into an ABC-VEN matrix for strategy formulation. The analysis reveals that 20.29% of items fall into Group A, while 70.13% and 15.09% of items are categorized as Group V (Vital). This integration results in the AV group being identified as the highest priority, necessitating stringent monitoring, meticulous procurement planning, and the establishment of optimal safety stock levels. The ABC-VEN method proves effective in categorizing inventory items into priority groups. LM Pharmacy must focus its control efforts on the AV group to ensure the availability of critical items and overall investment cost efficiency.
