The pharmacy is one of the most extensively used therapeutic facilities of the hospital and one of the few areas where a large amount of money is spent on buying items. To explore the feasibility of alphabetical analysis where items are classified into A, B and C categories depending on their annual consumption value, in effective management of pharmacy store. A study suggested that review for expensive drugs could bring out 20% savings in pharmacy store budget. The goal of inventory management involves having to balance the conflicting economics of not wanting to hold too much stock.
