| dc.description.abstract | Pharmaceutical inventory management
aims to improve the control over critical raw
materials and its traceability, when used in the
compounding of total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
and reduce waste of expired materials. A
compounding pharmacy dedicated for patient
specific TPN products uses a variety of drug
additives and components and raw materials that
vary in final product quantity usage day after day.
Improving inventory performance through lean Six
Sigma approaches has been the objective of this
research. By implementing Lean methodology with
DMAIC tool, the material process flow in the
Compounding Pharmacy has been able to reduce
stock cost, material waste, diminish documentation
errors and has effectively controlled and monitored
the raw material inventory.
Key terms ⎯ inventory management, Lean Six
Sigma, process flow improvement, waste reduction | en_US |
