Shwetha Pradeep
Abstract: Introduction: A large part of the hospital budget is spent on hospital supplies. It is therefore necessary that proper control techniques are applied in order to control the costs involved in maintaining the inventory. ABC analysis is one such method. Methodology: The study used the explorative method. The data was collected from the store manager of the general store through the interview method and the record maintained in the general store. The procedure adopted was that the consumption value calculated for each item was arranged in descending order based on the cumulative annual consumption value computed; items were arranged in the ABC category. Results: A-class items were 10% and contributed to 61% of the consumption value; B-class items were 20% and contributed to 26% of the consumption value; and C-class items were 70% and contributed to 13% of the consumption value. Conclusion: The study revealed the items that require close supervision and strict control in order to necessitate efficient management. As surgical items constitute a big investment, this will help in controlling unnecessary expenditure.
