Abstract
Nowadays, the need for systematic deliverance of the healthcare sector is much sought-after. Such, that a simple delay in restocking of certain medicines or supplies could create unrest among the mass, and result in the loss of healthcare facilities for many. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a software technology that can create, deploy, and manage bots that emulate certain human actions interacting with digital systems and software. Robotic Process Automation is one of the technologies that can be used to carry out the smooth sailing of the supply chain process. This paper will describe how RPA technology can be used to emulate the various processes in the supply chain management for a healthcare entity, such as checking inventory, reading and comparing vendor quotations, and finalizing a supply vendor.
