Abstract

Inventory management is a critical aspect of healthcare operations, especially in facilities like ECHS Polyclinics that cater to the needs of ex-servicemen. This case study explores the implementation of ABC (Always Better Control) and VED (Vital, Essential, and Desirable) analysis techniques in inventory management at ECHS Polyclinics. ABC analysis prioritizes inventory items based on their value and usage, while VED analysis categorizes items according to their criticality to patient care. By applying these techniques, ECHS Polyclinics aim to optimize inventory control strategies, ensure the availability of critical supplies, and enhance operational efficiency. The study highlights the benefits, challenges, and considerations associated with implementing ABC and VED analysis in inventory management at healthcare facilities. Furthermore, it discusses potential areas for improvement and future trends in inventory management practices for healthcare facilities. This case study provides valuable insights into the effective utilization of ABC and VED analysis techniques to improve inventory management practices in ECHS Polyclinics, ultimately enhancing patient care outcomes and operational performance.
