Proposta de gerenciamento de estoques de um hospital

Abstract

With the increasing budgetary constraints faced by Brazilian public hospitals because of the economic crisis in the country, finding strategic solutions to the managerial deficiencies without the need for greater financial investments are essential measures in the daily life of managers of these institutions. Therefore, this research aimed to seek and present solutions to supply problems of essential products for the operation of a public hospital located in Mato Grosso do Sul – Brazil, using for this, methods of demand forecasting and techniques of inventory management. This research justifies itself because it is expected that by implementing the appropriate tools, the organization becomes more efficient, being able to properly meet its products demands and reduce costs caused by stockouts and overstocks. Theoretical studies on the subject were carried out to obtain more information and the acquired knowledge resulted in a case study of applied nature and quantitative approach. It was determined in the study that 43.40% of the analyzed products had their demand patterns incorrectly calculated and corrections were suggested. In addition, problems were found in the inventory levels of 49.06% of the analyzed items and their corrections would be achieved in the time horizon indicated by this research.
