Abstract

A stock control bottleneck in a pharmaceutical organization in Lagos State, Nigeria, is presented in the study. The organizational inventory chain in the pharmaceutical store network is examined. To conceptualize the situation within the model, the study proposed a two-situation deterministic stock model that is based on pragmatic presumptions and imperatives within the inventory network. The formulation considers a single drug item, construct lead time, and deterministic request. The deterministic request is addressed as a sales projection for the item. Two mathematical functions are characterized as the optimization of the distinction between arranged mean stock level, acknowledged stock, and the minimization of stock-out circumstances. This was based on a fostered methodology for deciding reorder echelon to accomplish the proposed mathematical formulation that is dependent on request ≤ inventory and request > inventory for 1 year. It is on this premise that the mathematical model of request and inventory is utilized as a mechanism of control to achieve optimality.
